A prosthetic system of dementia care designed to change the experience of dementing illness for the afflicted person, the family and professional care providers. 2, record 2, English, - Gentlecare
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The philosophy of Gentlecare is that every person with dementia is a unique and special human being. People with dementia need people, programs and physical space to be sensitive and supportive, instead of challenging their dementia-related dysfunction. Gentlecare introduces the notion of compensating for the deficits of dementia by modifying the approach of people, programs and physical space to support the individual s values, strengths, desires and needs. 3, record 2, English, - Gentlecare
