There is a need to take into account the wishes and choices of those who either are taken into care or those who have a requirement to have a stay in a hospital.
These choices should be considered at the admittance stage of the process and while treating the patient with dignity should produce a care plan for each and every person.
When dealing with Alzheimer’s and depending the stage the person is at there will be memory issues and even communication issues with growing inability to remember the names of things.
The choices product was developed in conjunction with the largest care provider in Europe and after exstensive trials within the organisation and through the scrutiny of the Dementia Strategy Forum the product was refined to the current package.
The choices pack forms the central thrust of “making living better” within that care group and is currently being evaluated by the NHS with a probable pilot in the near future.
The choices product can be used in the private home as well as professional care, along with the objective of actual choice it can also be used to stimulate conversation and dialogue between two people.
