Choice

Being able to make true choices over our lives including what we eat, what we do and how we spend our time is important to all people. People living with dementia are at risk of losing choice and decisions are often made for them. Choice upholds the dignity and respect of all individuals.

Key Principles

  • Offer choice in all things wherever possible
  • Allow the person enough time make a choice
  • Respect the persons choice
