Personalisation for older people in residential care
Personalisation for older people in residential care in Oxford
The film is introduced by the manager of an Oxford residential care home for older people with dementia who talks about the importance of understanding the individual, their interests, background and personal history.
The benefits of this approach are illustrated by Marjorie’s story. Marjorie has been supported and encouraged to take up her interest in music again and it has brought pleasure to her life. The film also looks at the family and carer support that the service also provides as part of person-centred care.
