Six Elements of Wellbeing in Dementia

Living well with dementia is about more than managing symptoms—it’s about honoring the whole person. This presentation explores six essential elements of wellbeing that continue to shape our lives regardless of cognitive changes: identity, connectedness, security, autonomy, meaning, and growth. Through practical examples and personcentered approaches, participants will discover how small changes in understanding and interaction can make a profound difference in supporting dignity, purpose, and quality of life for those living with dementia.
