DEMENTIA ISOLATION TOOLKIT

We believe long term care homes need strategies to support the isolation of residents with dementia in a way that is compassionate, safe, and effective, and that makes use of person-centred care approaches... You will find a plain-language ethical framework to help you make decisions when faced with ethical dilemmas in long-term care during the pandemic. You will also find information and a worksheet to support making a person-centred isolation care plan. There are also some communication tools, such as signs, that might be helpful to communicate the restrictions to residents with dementia. We are working hard to create and add more tools as the pandemic evolves, so check back soon or subscribe to get updates when new tools are released... The Dementia Isolation Toolkit offers guidance and tools supporting best practices in the isolation care of people with dementia in long-term care.
