In this module we describe person-centred care and the priorities for a person-centred approach in aged care settings. We explore biography and tools to obtain the most relevant elements of the person's life story. We provide a brief overview of three models which will help you focus on the person with dementia while also understanding how the disease is impacting upon them You will learn about using models that can help you holistically understand the person within the care environment and help you choose the most appropriate interventions aimed at resolving or minimising responsive behaviours.
