Dementia care models

Dementia care models are approaches designed to support individuals with dementia and their families. They focus on personalized care that emphasizes understanding each person’s needs, preferences, and abilities. These models promote a team-based approach involving healthcare providers, family, and community resources to ensure safety, dignity, and quality of life. Common approaches include person-centered care, which tailors support to the individual, and community-based models that enable people to live independently with appropriate assistance. Overall, dementia care models aim to provide compassionate, effective, and adaptable support throughout the progression of the condition.
