Description
'The person centred practices outlined in this book show how to deliver genuine personalisation, where what is important for the person is balanced with what is important to the person's wellbeing. It is about the stuff that makes a life worth living: each person as an individual with their own needs, wishes, and dreams to be recognised and met In the current economic climate, it is even more important that we make sure personalisation is about real choice and service. It is not, and must not be seen as a way of cutting funding. I therefore warmly welcome the timely publication of a book that seeks to ensure we always see the person and not the dementia .'- from the Foreword by Jeremy Hughes, Chief Executive of the Alzheimer's Society
