Person hood is a standing or status that is bestowed upon one human being, by others.
For your first assignment, you are required to write your own person centred care plan based around Kit wood’s model of person hood.
You will need to translate and develop the learning from the module around Kit wood’s person centred care. Consider what is important to you, as an individual, and how your needs, expectations and desires can best be translated into a plan of care.
There are two sections to this assignment.
Section 1: Your Care Plan
A care plan should be empowering and proactive. Think of a vehicle for your care plan what does it look like? Think about how other people will read your care plan and respond to it. You might want to adapt an existing template, or choose to create your own.
Think carefully about what information your care plan needs in order to be ‘person centred’.
Think about a creative approach to designing your care plan. We would encourage you to ask yourselves in the care plan: What makes this care plan stand out from the other 20+ that staff may be needing to read? You may want to include pictures, photos and videos to enhance your work. If you wish to include a video it should be no longer than 1 minute. Your care plan should between 2-3 pages.
Your care plan should demonstrate your engagement with the course and an understanding of key learning outcomes. Consider how your care plan:
1.Demonstrates your critical understanding of the range of personal and social factors which influence the lived experience of dementia;
2. Actively promotes the concept of living well with dementia.
Top Tips :
1.The care plan will be written as if for yourself in the future when if you have dementia; for example, you might include difficulties you have with personal care or sleeping that need to be considered; who would you need around you, would there be any key things that need to be considered ie you might want music playing during personal care tasks to help reduce anxiety. What is likely to make you distressed and how could you be supported with this? What would be your needs for dignity and privacy?
2.Although marking for assignments is anonymous, we recognise that for this first care plan assignment, it would be difficult to achieve anonymity as you are writing about yourselves and may include pictures or a video.

3.Even if you already write care plans, doing some reading around care plans and what constitutes a good care plan may be a good starting point. You may wish to use a format or proforma to structure your work or a combination of several– there will be plenty to choose from and you should offer some critique to demonstrate your decision making.
4.You might choose for the care plan to be at a moment in time or over a period of time –you may include, for example, what you would want in relation to end of life.
5.You can demonstrate knowledge of dementia and its impact on function by identifying yourself as having a sub-type of dementia. You would then highlight a difficulty that this may cause due to the part of the brain affected and then evidence a strategy to support you with this difficulty.
Section 2: Providing evidence linked to the choices in your care plan
We also want you to submit a written section to accompany your care plan, this is to provide evidence (with references to research and Kitwood’s theory) of your reasoning and the choices you are making. This will partly relate to you as an individual, your values, preferences, likes and dislikes but in addition you will need to provide referenced evidence so for example, if you are wanting to be involved in a choir or
drama group, what is the evidence for the value of this as a therapeutic activity? In addition, you also need to consider national policies and guidelines for your country which are influencing care – for example the rhetoric and reality. You also may want to consider international direction such as from the World Health Organisation.
If you have chosen to use an existing care plan template or to adapt a template, explain your choice and critically appraise the template you have chosen to use.
Ensure you have a balance between the information in the care plan and the amount of words you will need to be able to offer the depth of critique/ evidence to achieve an M level piece of work.
