| Annotation | The term person-centred care has been widely used, and its origins and the care processes that use this term (not necessarily correctly) are outlined. Person-centred care is used frequently in the aims and objectives for dementia care services and provision, although in practice what lies behind the rhetoric can be questionable. This book gives fresh definition to the important ideas behind and the implementation of person-centred care for people with dementia. The author explains the four key elements of the person-centred care that comprise the VIPS model: V, Valuing people with dementia and those who care for them; I, treating people as Individuals; P, looking at the world from the Perspective of the person with dementia; and S, a positive Social environment in which the person living with dementia can experience relative well-being. A final section describes the VIPS Framework, which is designed to help care providers think through the issues of person-centred care in a systematic way. (RH). |
