-honoring the person as an individual

-recognizing that we are caring for the "whole person"; physically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually

-Focusing on remaining abilities while minimizing disability

-creating a partnership of caring that includes the resident, family members, and facility staff

-understanding that a person living with dementia can continue to experience life in a meaninful way

-using sensitivity and creativity to incorporate spontaneous moments of meaning and joy into the resident's daily routines
