“…Dementia Care Mapping has significant value for assessing person-centered care from a proxy view of nursing home residents who have dementia. However, there are concerns about its resource intensive nature (Fossey, Lee, & Ballard, 2002;Sloane et al, 2007;Thornton, Hatton, & Tatham, 2004) and the reliability and validity of the instrument (Chenoweth & Jeon, 2007;Sloane et al, 2007;Thornton et al, 2004). Although Dementia Care Mapping has grown in popularity for use with long-term care residents in many European countries (Fulton, Edelman, & Kuhn, 2006), this assessment method is not an efficient means of assessing person-centered care and is inppropriate for persons who do not have moderate to severe dementia.…”
