Overview
This Leaflet will tell you all about who I am, to help you support me.
Keep this in a suitable and safe place where anyone caring for you, at home or elsewhere, can refer to it easily. You can also take it with you if you need to go into hospital.
If you, or a person you care for, has dementia, delirium or other communication difficulties, moving to an unfamiliar place or meeting new people can be unsettling or distressing. This is me can help to reduce this distress. It helps health and social care professionals build a better understanding of you, or the person you care for, to be able to deliver the best care possible.
This is me can be completed and updated anytime by either yourself or the people who are supporting you. Many people like to complete the tool as an activity with their carers or family members, as it can bring up enjoyable memories and conversations.
This is me can be used alongside care plans and taken to unfamiliar or new places, such as hospitals and care homes. It is not a Medical document.
