We value the “Personhood” of people living with dementia:

·        Personhood is not dependent on memories, and abilities; it is unaltered by dementia despite any symptoms and changes that appear.

·        Personhood is centrally implicated in the quality of interpersonal relationships.

Living well with dementia

The value of personhood and person-centered care

Peak Brain Health’s Person-Centered Care approach to dementia care, supports:

“people” - their individual values, preferences and expressed needs

“personhood” - understanding the importance of social, interpersonal relationships as an integral component of care.

“living well” - maximizing physical, mental and social well being

  • human relationships are central to living well - maintaining relationships with family and friends

  • social inclusion and involvement

  • maintaining a level of independence with routine and everyday activities

“Living as well as you can with dementia is all about adapting. Adapting to new ways to enable us to live better for longer with dementia.”
— Wendy Mitchell
