| Annotation | Dementia care mapping (DCM) is an effective way of monitoring and gauging levels of well-being in people with dementia. The procedure involves assessing the nature and degree of well-being associated with those behaviours engaged in by the person with dementia. It also examines negative and positive forms of interaction between the staff and people with dementia, thus providing data that can potentially be used to aid staff supervision. The author considers that the latter supervisory function is under-utilised, and needs promoting. His paper outlines some of the problems associated with the existing DCM process, and provides a methodology for improving its role as supervisory tool. (RH). |
