Join us… as we explore the origins of ‘Person Centered Care’. Tom Kitwood & Kathleen Bredin’s work on ‘Personhood and Well-Being’ was one of the early focused theories attempting to establish a better method for delivering a social model of care for those diagnosed with dementia.

Misunderstanding and jumping to conclusions are natural reactions to the behaviors exhibited by individuals with dementia, but we’ll take a look at the philosophy behind person centered care toward changing our way of thinking and responding to states of ill-being that are often predominant when there is cognitive loss. Shifting away from the clinical model of care and moving toward one of social and psychological support can promote a sense of well-being for this unique population of people for an enhanced life experience...

A look at the characteristics of person centered care and how to apply positive people work will lay foundations for dealing with behaviors and how the experts recognize opportunities through a broader scope of observation and interpretation. Kitwood’s ‘Person Centered Care’ suggests sensitivity to what ‘all people’ need. The deep philosophy of person centered care reveals a new perspective from which caregivers can apply a multitude of concepts to enhance the quality of life for everyone involved!

Objectives:

  • Recognize two authors of early research on Person Centered Care
  • Define personhood with Kitwood’s concrete equation
  • List 2 reasons why problem behaviors may be merely a reflection of the attitude of the caregiver
  • Name 3 of the 5 components that are integral to a sense of well-being according to PCC
