Concept

Person-Centered Care

Person-centered care respects and values every elderly individual, designing appropriate services tailored to their perspectives and needs.

The concept of "Person-Centered Care" includes four main elements, viewing the elderly as VIPS:

Person-Centered Care (PCC) = V + I + P + S*

V (Value) = Respecting and valuing individuals with dementia

I (Individual) = Viewing patients as independent individuals

P (Perspective) = Approaching from the perspective and viewpoint of individuals with dementia

S (Social) = Creating a positive and caring social-psychological environment

*The core philosophy of "Person-Centered Care" (PCC) is also recognized in the World Health Organization’s 2012 report on dementia.

Enhancing the Care Model

Understanding the behaviors, feelings, and thoughts of individuals with dementia can be achieved by considering the following five factors: neurological impairments, health and physical condition, personal experiences, personality, and social-psychological aspects. This understanding helps in designing personalized training programs for the elderly.

Neurological Impairment	Cognitive impairments related to dementia affect the following five functional areas. Our center will provide targeted training in these areas to enhance the remaining abilities of patients: Comprehension and Communication Skills Ability to Perform Daily Tasks Understanding of the Surrounding Environment Ability to Formulate Action Plans Ability to Think from Others' Perspectives and Viewpoints
Health & Physical Fitness	Due to the inability of individuals with dementia to clearly express their physical and health issues, caregivers might misinterpret these behaviors as "provocative actions" if they fail to recognize the underlying problems. This misunderstanding can potentially worsen the relationship between the caregiver and the patient. Our center will take a multifaceted approach to understand the physical condition of patients and will communicate with caregivers to achieve a two-way care approach.
Biography	People generally understand current situations by referring to past experiences. Understanding the personal experiences of the elderly is essential for providing person-centered care.
Personality	We all have strengths and weaknesses. By understanding the personality of individuals with dementia, we can better encourage their participation in training and help them adapt to group living, thereby enhancing their ability to interact with others.
Social Psychology	Practicing "person-centered" dementia care must be built upon strong interpersonal relationships. Our center will provide a caring and positive social environment, allowing the elderly to gain a sense of happiness and support from their interactions and daily lives. The "person-centered" care philosophy also emphasizes the psychological needs of patients, including love, comfort, identity, attachment, occupation, and inclusion.

Cognitive Training（Part 1）

By using digital technology for cognitive training, we provide realistic community life skills training. This includes using public transportation, mobile phones, ATMs, and shopping at supermarkets. These trainings not only help enhance the self-care abilities of the elderly but also increase their independence and confidence in daily life.

Cognitive Training（Part 2）

Expressive Arts

For elderly individuals with mild cognitive impairment, engaging in artistic activities such as playing musical instruments, painting, and calligraphy can help improve their cognitive abilities. These activities focus on themes such as "creative categorization," "associative memory," "attention training," "sequencing," "logical reasoning," "problem-solving skills," and "positive learning." They aim to train the patients' thinking processes and help them learn various memory techniques.

Cognitive Training（Part 3）

Reminiscence Therapy

Through revisiting past events and experiences, patients can re-experience the emotions those events brought, whether joy, anger, sadness, or happiness. They are encouraged to share these experiences with others to foster mutual understanding and strengthen relationships. By recalling past life difficulties or setbacks, patients are helped to accept their pasts and recognize the value of their lives. As they reflect on the past, conflicts, failures, or setbacks that are seldom thought of may surface, allowing patients to re-evaluate their lives, accept themselves, and affirm the value of their entire life.

Physical Fitness Exercise（Part 1）

Objectives:

To train the muscle endurance of both upper and lower limbs
To improve coordination and reaction time
To enhance cognitive abilities

Class Content:

The "Brain Invigoration and Gross Motor Activation Program" (BIGMAP) is a cognitive training exercise developed in 2017 by the Dr. Stephen Hui Research Centre for Physical Recreation and Wellness at Hong Kong Baptist University. This program combines elements of fun, progression, and simplicity. It simultaneously exercises visual memory, audio memory, proprioceptive memory, cardio-respiratory efficiency, coordination, and upper and lower limb endurance. Additionally, it includes rich recreational components to meet the various needs of individuals with cognitive impairment. These training activities, designed to be engaging, progressive, and easy to understand, attract patient participation.

Physical Fitness Exercise（Part 2）

E-sports Motion Sensing Games

Objectives:

To stretch various muscle groups
To train cognitive functions

Class Content:

By playing motion-sensing games on Switch and Kinect, the coordination and balance of individuals with cognitive impairments can be improved. Additionally, these motion-sensing games can train memory and cognitive abilities, reducing instances of forgetfulness in daily life and enhancing recognition skills.

Physical Fitness Exercise（Part 3）

Kinect Motion Sensing Games

Kinect motion sensing games utilize the Kinapsys program to train the hands, legs, spine, and cardio-respiratory functions. The program also includes a virtual coach that guides patients through exercises. It offers over 400 different movements and games, categorized into three main types: Reeducation, Reinforcement, and Specific Exercise.

Physical Fitness Exercise（Part 4）

Specific Exercise: This category includes over 200 different training movements and games, divided into five subcategories: spinal training, motor neuron training, group training, hand training, and mirror therapy. These exercises can prevent and improve back problems, stimulate motor neurons, promote social abilities, enhance hand coordination, and assist individuals with hemiplegia or paralysis on the left or right side to perform exercises.

Reinforcement: This category includes over 100 different training movements and games, divided into three subcategories: stretching, muscle strengthening, and cardio exercises. These activities aim to enhance tendon flexibility, improve muscle tone, and boost cardio-respiratory capacity.

Physical Fitness Exercise（Part 5）

Objectives:

To balance exercise routines for training various muscle groups
To strengthen leg muscles

Class Content:

Through six balance exercise movements, the muscles of the quadriceps, calves, and outer quadriceps can be strengthened. If the various muscle groups in the body frequently experience pain, it can adversely affect daily activities, making tasks such as shopping and walking difficult.
