Dementia care, dementia journey and the PRO
Dementia has no cure and is complex. But as a professional, you can help families to live well by:
-
supporting them to navigate the system to access help, and
-
learn care strategies (and retain old skills) to manage changes at home.
This is largely the definition of quality dementia care, especially, because you are their first point of call for all things dementia.
It is also a compliance requirement from the Aged Care Quality Standards.
How does the PRO fit into this?
World's first comprehensive dementia journey
The dementia journey is complex and difficult to navigate for the person, carers and professionals. People tell us it feels like a maze that leads to confusion and fear of the unknown. The PRO simplifies the complexity into a much easier journey to navigate.
Below is the world’s first comprehensive dementia journey we have developed. This is the backbone of My Dementia Companion and you are welcome to share it with clients and carers, to provide reassurance and reduce their fear of the unknown. This journey can last 6 month to 20 years, and varies between people.
The journey in the PRO
The PRO brings this journey alive in the ‘Home’ tab, where you can create individual client journeys, search and share strategies easily, and track their progression.
You can see this in action in one of our demos or in our Scenarios.
This acts as a checklist and ‘one-stop-shop’ for provide quality care for dementia and cognitive impairment.
