​This Is Me: A Guide to Person-Centered Care More than a care plan—this is a portrait of a person. This Is Me is a thoughtfully designed notebook created for use in professional care settings, helping caregivers see beyond a dementia diagnosis to the full, vibrant person who still resides within. Grounded in the principles of person-centered care, this practical guide offers a structured yet deeply personal space to capture what truly matters to each resident—their routines, preferences, joys, and life stories. Written as a heartfelt message from someone living with dementia, the book invites caregivers to engage with empathy, presence, and respect. It emphasizes the small but powerful ways care teams can preserve dignity and build trust—through knowing the music that brings comfort, the foods that delight, the habits that soothe, and the memories that still spark connection. Inside, care staff will find: - Guided prompts for gathering personal history and preferences - Spaces for families to contribute stories, photos, and insights - Practical tools for enhancing daily routines and emotional well-being - A framework for building stronger resident-caregiver relationships This Is Me is more than a tool—it’s a bridge. A bridge between who someone was, who they are, and who they are still becoming. Ideal for memory care communities, nursing homes, and assisted living centers, this guide supports staff in delivering care that is not only effective but deeply human. Perfect for onboarding new caregivers, deepening family involvement, or simply ensuring that no resident’s story is forgotten.
