Textul de pe ultima copertă

The award-winning PEARL (Positively Enriching And enhancing Residents' Lives) programme was developed to enable care homes to move from providing good fundamental care to excellent person-centred dementia care. The programme has been proven to dramatically increase the quality of life of people with dementia living in care homes. This concise and accessible guide describes the key criteria of the programme and provides best practice guidelines for care providers wishing to adopt the approach in their own care home. With a strong practical focus, this book will help those working in care homes to develop their units into centres of excellence for people living with dementia.
