Trauma-informed practice in dementia care is a way of caring for individuals living with dementia that takes into account the possibility that they may have experienced traumatic events in their lives.
Trauma-informed care is an under-utilized yet potentially beneficial approach to care for older adults in many settings. An individualized response from staff which when effectively implemented can promote staff and participant safety, reduce the risk of re-traumatization, and minimize adverse events.
