The quality of dementia care for individuals and families depends on the quality of assessment and care planning, and the degree to which those practices are person-centered. This article provides recommendations for assessment and care planning based on a review of the literature. The guidelines build upon previous recommendations published by the Alzheimer’s Association, and are relevant to all care settings as well as types and stages of dementia. The guidelines are useful to a wide range of professionals, paraprofessionals and direct care workers.
