36 Dementia Care Mapping™ Observation
Briefing Observation Findings Feedback Action planning Engages whole team in problem solving When I use DCM as part of enhancing my assessment, I ensure that the staff are aware of this and besides given verbal information, also ensure that written information is available for the staff to read. I also ensure that the person with dementia and the relatives are aware. Is it part of evaluative cycle within our own organisation; I ensure that posters are available for patients and visitors on the day of the actual map, besides the general information about DCM Raise awareness Evidence-based reflection on quality of interactions

41 Feedback to the team Frances Frances enabled & invalidated
Frances having her meal Frances was asked by a carer whether she would like to fold some towels for her, which she proceeded to do and became engaged in the activity, concentrating on what she was doing. When she was finished she showed the basket for another carer, stating she was going to do more, so the carer turned the basket upside down and gave Frances the same towels again to fold, whilst Frances continued with the job, her mood changed, she started muttering to herself, showing slight signs of distress, which continued for 7 timeframes. 10 October 2017

42 Feedback to the team The impact of staff interactions on Frances’s well being How would you feel if? Staff were shocked by the feedback, and part of the action plan is to engage Frances in working with the domestic in the home, negotiating a role each day. Sometimes it is not always what is said, but how; tone of voice, 10 October 2017

43 action planning Enriched model 10 October 2017

44 action planning with the team
Negotiate a role with Frances, e.g. folding washing, dusting, tidying the main living room, setting tables Right for Frances to be included in the community Right for Frances to be regarded as an unique individual. 10 October 2017

45 Feedback to the team Margaret disengage & sleep
This data was a map for just over two hours, to get baseline data about what life was like in the morning in the care home. The team identified five residents, they referred to Margaret is being settled, no problems. The map however identified that if Margaret actually disengaged and fell asleep as there were no interactions going on for her, when she was offered opportunities to interact later in the morning, she did engage with this, looking and commenting on what she read in a magazine and helping setting the tables. Staff were busy doing tasks. In the feedback before I explained the visual chart, I asked whether the care staff felt it had been a usual day for Margaret, which they confirmed, they were surprised at the data. Utilising the information gathered the care staff together with her family, have provided objects for Margaret to interact with in the morning, and initiated inclusion by actively inviting her to join activities. An overall action by the organisation was a change in working systems, identifying what needed to be done at a particular time in the day, ie bloods, to be done in the morning. Identified a member of staff to be in the lounge in the morning, to provide interactions and interventions. . 10 October 2017

46 Feedback to the team Lack of engagement and stimulation
What would you do if? Settled and disengaged Staff were shocked by the feedback, and part of the action plan is to engage Frances in working with the domestic in the home, negotiating a role each day. Sometimes it is not always what is said, but how; tone of voice, 10 October 2017
