Description
Vu leads a team piloting a health priorities exercise for people living with dementia and their care partners in a 2023 paper. Many such people also carry several chronic conditions. Care partners will increasingly make decisions on their behalf.
An existing priorities tool was adapted so partners join as active listeners while the person with dementia speaks. Five pairs took part, spanning early-stage dementia and varied chronic illness counts. Participants completed the process without difficulty and liked having partners present. Partners said they understood the person's goals better afterward. They also saw the person as more proactive than expected. The authors call the approach feasible and acceptable. It may prepare partners for future proxy decisions.
