The Dementia Patient and Carer information pack includes information to support patients, staff and carers, when a person with dementia is admitted to hospital.

Within the pack there is the opportunity for the patient or the carer to complete a ‘This Is Me’ document, which enables staff to learn more about the patient. It covers their likes and dislikes, what patients prefer to be called, drink and food preferences, family, where they lived, activities they still enjoy and routines. 

Staff can utilise this document to engage with the patient including activities such as music, arts and crafts, and reminiscence therapy, which stimulates memory and can break the monotony of the day - as a number of patients may be in hospital for longer stays.
