Individual Referrals and Supportive Partnerships

The process may include:

1. Assessment and Understanding

• Individualised Needs
  Consultation starts with a thorough assessment of a person’s unique circumstances, including their cognitive,
  emotional, and physical needs.
• Personal History and Preferences
  Understanding background, interests, routines, and preferences is crucial when creating a supportive and
  meaningful care environment.
• Care Partner Support
  Addresses the needs and concerns of care partners, who play a vital role in supporting the person with dementia.

2. Developing a Personalised Care Service Plan

• Tailored Interventions
  Based on the assessment, a personalised care plan is developed, outlining specific strategies and interventions to address each persons unique requirements.
• Non-Pharmacological Approaches
  The consultation emphasises non-pharmacological strategies, such as environmental modifications,
  communication techniques, and activities that promote well-being and engagement.
• Care Partner Education and Support
  Care partners receive education and resources to help them understand dementia and implement responsive
  support.

3. Ongoing Support and Monitoring

• Regular Check-ins
  The consultation isn’t a one-time event.

Regular check-ins are essential to monitor progress, make adjustments as needed, and ensure the well-being is
supported.
