AnnotationSPECAL, Specialised Early Care for Alzheimer's, is an Alzheimer's Society project, which aims to facilitate the well-being of people with dementia, via the development of SPECAL care, ahead of potential crises. The author describes how the SPECAL approach uses detailed information about a person's way of life before dementia, to develop a mosaic of strategies and interventions. The aim is to maintain the person's self-esteem and well-being in the present, all through every day. (RH).
