“…Focusing on levels of cognitive and physical capacity highlights areas of deficit and the demands of daily living with dementia (Banerjee et al, 2006;Ready & Ott, 2003;Ryan, Nolan, Reid, & Enderby, 2008). However, when quality of life is measured in terms of relatedness, such as of shared moments rather than memories; feelings rather than thoughts; and focusing on what remains rather than what is lost, it becomes available again to families affected by dementia (Carruth, Tate, Moffett, & Hill, 1997).…”

This article first argues that quality of life is possible despite the onset of dementia in late life. It also demonstrates how core concepts of social work practice, such as family systems theory, the strengths perspective, and use of self, can be applied to practice with dementia-affected persons. In addition, it provides practical suggestions for supporting care partners in nurturing "we-ness", focusing on what remains rather than was is lost, and remaining authentic. When strengths-based social work practice is integrated into dementia care protocols, wellbeing can increase. As a result, the more than 40 million persons worldwide who are affected by dementia do not have to resign themselves to the despair, devastation and inevitable demise of quality of life that dominate perception of the illness.

“…For example, the work of Kitwood [23] is the frontline of personcentered care for people with dementia [24]. Both person-centered care and other models of care that are described as relationship centered [25] share fundamental values; for example, dignity, honoring and respecting the older persons as unique individuals, validating their emotional reality and supporting their lived experiences [26]. Relationship-centered care is described as "best practice" or "high-quality care" [27].…”

Background: Older people participating in shareholding networks are exposed to diverse situations, which may be associated with dignity. Aims: This study aimed to illuminate the meaning of lived experiences when participating in shareholding networks for the care of older people in rural areas. Methods: This qualitative study is based on individual interviews. Ten older Thai persons with at least 12 months of lived experiences participating in shareholding networks for older people in rural areas were interviewed. A phenomenological-hermeneutic approach, inspired by Ricoeur, was used to understand the meaning of the narrated text. Findings: The structural analysis resulted in four themes: 1) being satisfied with activities, 2) being valued as important, 3) being frustrated and feeling sad, and 4) being bored and feeling disinterest. The meaning of participation in a shareholding network for the elderly can be understood as a pathway to feelings of confidence and presence of others. Confidence and allowing the presence of others mean facing humanity and sensing vulnerability, because in a trusting relationship the person who gives confidence is susceptible to the other's betrayal. Conclusion: An individual's dignity should be a high priority in health and social care strategies. Therefore, it is important for healthcare professionals to initiate a dialogue with the shareholding participants for support and information. The narrations in this study can be used as a basis for developing cooperating care with older people in shareholding network focusing on their needs and dignity.
