Focus on Dementia Skills & Abilities for Better Caregiving. Focusing on the skills and abilities a person with dementia still possesses is paramount for providing holistic and empowering care. By acknowledging their strengths, caregivers can preserve their sense of identity and autonomy, promoting dignity and self-worth. This approach fosters a positive environment that enhances their quality of life and encourages engagement in meaningful activities. Emphasizing abilities over limitations promotes a person-centered approach to care, where individuals with dementia are valued for their unique contributions and capabilities, fostering a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
