The dementia team in Umeå works in both ordinary and special housing to promote safe care and independence at home. The team does not provide its own interventions, but supports, for example, relatives, home care and caregivers through mapping, advice, guidance and treatment plans. In ordinary housing, we support, for example, the relative or home care service in finding strategies in everyday life to enable the person to remain at home. In care homes, it is common for the person to have behavioral and psychological symptoms (BPSD) and then we focus on mapping them, creating response plans and planning for measures that reduce the symptoms and increase the person's well-being. Together with family consultants, we make home visits to map out how both the person with dementia and the family member will be supported. The guiding principle is the vision "Together for a better life for life" with a focus on collaboration, prevention, competence and digitalization. The team consists of dementia nurses, assistant nurses, occupational therapist and physiotherapist, with office workplace at Dragonen.
