Abstract:
Person-centered care for people living with dementia has been associated with improved functional ability and quality of life, yet little is known about person-centered care in the home settings. Our objective was to explore home care worker perspectives on providing person-centered care for their clients living with dementia. Using secondary qualitative analysis of 22 semi-structured interviews with home care workers, we identified themes related to the Dementia Initiative's person-centered dementia care framework (Initiative, 2013). We found that home care workers acknowledged their client's personhood while also advocating for their needs. However, home care workers encountered barriers to providing person-centered care, including role limitations and challenging dynamics with other home care workers and family caregivers. This analysis can inform further approaches to better integrate home care workers in person-centered healthcare teams and improve how the needs of people living with dementia are identified and met in the home.
