This is Me Now

Another group of managers developed “This is Me Now “ which is a new approach to maintaining the dignity and identity of residents with end–stage dementia and severe communication difficulties.

Questionnaires are completed by care staff and family members to collect a ream of information about the resident (see below) is information about what matters to the resident now, the 'little things’ that make a difference like being able to see out the window.

This information is then transformed into a narrative account of the residents likes and dislikes and what helps them throughout the day often peppered with relevant information gained from their life story.
