1. Behaviors are a desire for communication

on the part of the person with dementia

and an opportunity to share.

2. We must maintain and uphold the value of

the person regardless of his/her level of

dementia. We must consider attempts to

provide the core psychological needs

(love, comfort, attachment, inclusion,

occupation, identity).

3. Promote positive health

4. All action is meaningful

5. Our work must contain elements of

positive person work
