The experience of dementia is different for each person. Having some knowledge of an individual’s life history helps us to understand the person behind the condition. We can then make sure we value and celebrate each and every individual in our care.
The more we understand about a resident’s past the more effectively we can plan for their future. For instance, a life history can help guide us towards activities that might be more suited to the person we are caring for.
