Dementia itself is not a single disease or illness, but is an umbrella term used to describe lots of different types of conditions, all of which have one thing in common – they attack and destroy the cells in the brains of people with a dementia. To provide good quality care, care workers need to recognise people with a dementia as individuals. A key aspect of being a domiciliary dementia care worker is the ability to look beyond the dementia and instead, see the whole person.
