DEF

A prosthetic system of dementia care designed to change the experience of dementing illness for the afflicted person, the family and professional care providers.

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.
