| Annotation | Equipping care home staff to understand and assess behaviour that challenges is a top priority, but what is the best approach? This article discusses the CLEAR Dementia Care model, a person-centred assessment. The model was developed by the Northern Health and Social Care Trust Dementia Home Support Team in Northern Ireland, which provides support and training in the non-pharmacological management of behaviours that those caring for people with dementia find challenging to understand. Based on the Newcastle model, the CLEAR Dementia Care model is designed as a quicker method of assessing and understanding behaviour in dementia, equipping care home staff to respond more effectively. The CLEAR model includes: Cognition; Life story and personality; Emotional and physical wellbeing; Activity and the environment; and Relationships. The model's main premise is that the behaviour that staff find challenging is the result of unmet need experienced by the person with dementia. (RH). |
