The aim should be to understand their past life before the onset of dementia as well as their current situation.
Knowing their past history, relationships and interests or trying to see the world from their perspective can often help with this. Person-centered also means focusing on the best in someone, their strengths rather than their difficulties, responding to their feelings even when we do not understand their behaviour. 1.2 Outline the benefits of working with an individual with dementia in a person-centred manner The benefits are that the individual and their families will feel empowered and safe within the care being provided.
