DementiaCareMatters

Knowing feelings matter most is the start

Life is an emotional journey. We all crave real human connection. This applies even more to people living with a dementia. People learn to trust emotions and rely more on themselves as feeling beings rather than thinking beings.


The heart of care is all about emotional care. This requires a shift in care services from solely providing task based care. The shift from 'doing' it to achieving real emotional connection is at the heart of 'being' person centred.
