    ALL ABOUT DEMENTIA

    • 655 Words
    • 3 Pages

    It is a term used when describing good dementia care and also best practice in advocacy. It recognises a person's individuality, their personal history and personality. It seeks to understand the world from the individual's perspective. When a person behaves in a way that is difficult, aggressive or inappropriate it is the role of others to try to understand why the person is behaving in that way, especially if they are unable to explain this themselves. Knowing their past history, relationships and interests or trying to see the world from their perspective can often help with this. Person-centred 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.…

Alzheimer's is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking, and behavior. I choose this topic to spread awareness about this cruel and deadly disease. I began my interest in Alzheimer's about three years ago, when I began volunteering for the association. My past involvements in the Alzheimer's Association began with a service event called "Walk to End ALZ 2k15." This was a marathon where all profits went to the Alzheimer's Association.
