Everyday care

Your approach to personal care should always take full account of the feelings and dignity of the person you are helping.  People with dementia cannot always tell you if they feel embarrassed.  Personal care must be given to the individual:  these are not just tasks that must be completed.  Respect his or her feelings at all times.
