Promoting Independence Through quality dementia Care at Home (PITCH)

许多痴呆症患者生活在家里，得到有偿和无偿照顾者的支持。目前，痴呆症患者的照顾者在如何沟通、管理症状和提供以人为本的护理方面接受教育和培训的机会有限。该项目将为一线家庭护理人员开发和试验一项教育和培训计划，旨在改善痴呆症患者及其照顾者的护理质量和生活质量。

Many people with dementia live at home with support from both paid and unpaid carers. There are currently limited opportunities for carers of people with dementia to receive education and training in how to communicate, manage symptoms and deliver person-centred care. This project will develop and trial a education and training program for front-line home care workers that aims to improve quality of care and quality of life for people with dementia and their carers.
