Dementia Support Line
A copy of the ‘This is Me’ booklet is provided in our Carers Support Pack.
‘This is me’ is a simple booklet for anyone receiving professional care who is living with dementia.
A person who has dementia can find changes to routine such as moving to an unfamiliar place or meeting new people who contribute to their care, unsettling or distressing. ‘This is me’ can help to reduce this distress.
‘This is me’ can be used to record details about a person who can’t easily share information about themselves and can be used in any setting – at home, in hospital, in respite care or in a care home.
‘This is me’ can help professional carers and healthcare professionals build a better understanding of who the person is so they can deliver care that is tailored to the person’s needs.
‘This is me’ should be filled in by an individual who knows the person best and if possible, with the person it is regarding involved.
