Dementia Care Mapping

Dementia Care Mapping is a structured observational tool used to assess the quality of care provided to individuals with dementia. It involves trained observers watching interactions between caregivers and residents in care settings, capturing their feelings, behaviors, and responses. The goal is to identify strengths and areas for improvement in care practices. By analyzing this data, facilities can enhance the well-being of residents, ensuring they receive person-centered care that meets their emotional and social needs. Ultimately, Dementia Care Mapping promotes a better understanding of how to support those living with dementia effectively.
