erson-centered care models with reference to dementia
care, has demonstrated positive outcome for behavioral
disturbance. The leadership, guidance and training on
championing this model into practice is lacking in our
healthcare delivery system. The intent here will be to
increase awareness and understanding about person-
centered care for people with dementia. Discussion will
include complex needs of people with dementia, leading to
compromised behavioral symptoms; including sleep-wake-
cycle disturbance, verbal outbursts and aggression. Further
discussion encompasses evidence based outcomes with the
use of person-centered care that focuses on preserving the
“personhood” of the individual.
