Editorial Reviews for Person-Centred Dementia Care: Making Services Better (Bradford Dementia Group Good Practice Guides) The term person-centred care has been widely used, misused and ill defined. It 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. Dawn Brooker explains the four key elements of person centred care that comprise the VIPS model: Valuing people with dementia and those who care for them (V); treating people as Individuals (I); looking at the world from the Perspective of the person with dementia (P); and a positive Social environment in which the person living with dementia can experience relative well being (S). With an emphasis on practical application, Person Centred Dementia Care provides care organisations with clear, accessible guidelines on how to put the VIPS model into operation for effective care that is 'fit for VIPs'. Part 2 of the book comprises the VIPS organisational reflection tool, which care providers can use to assess how well they think they are doing at providing person-centred care. This will be essential reading for practitioners working with and policy makers responsible for people with dementia at all levels.
Consumer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Person centered care for those with dementia is a good concept Comment: Susan Berg author of Adorable Photographs of Our Baby: Meaningful, Mind Stimulating Activities and More for the Memory Challenged, Their Loved Ones, and Involved Professionals says this book discusses the concept of person centered demnetia care. It tells the reader how to implement the concept and why it is important to do so with people who have dementia. Dawn Brooker talks about the four key elements of person centered care. She discusses the VIPS model: Valuing people with dementia and those who care for them. She focuses on the practical application of this concept. Person Centred Dementia Care shows the reader how to turn the concept into a practical working model. The book reads like a text book which may not be caregiver friendly at first glance. However there is much practical information for the caregiver and healthcare professionals alike. Customer Rating: Summary: Great teaching boo. Comment: This is an excellent book to teach others about dementia, no matter what level of knowledge they have. I plan on using this as a text book.
