Abstract
Most Western countries aim to enable dementia sufferers to live at home for as long as possible. Person centeredness, continuity of care, and competence level are all important for the quality of home health care (HHC). The aim of this qualitative study is to describe staff’s experiences of providing care to home-dwelling dementia clients through HHC services. The study used a phenomenological-hermeneutic interpretation of focus group interviews. This study supports the value of continuous interpersonal relationships in HHC services. The findings show that specialized teams facilitate continuity and person-centered care, and that after training, staff become more holistically oriented, involve clients in daily care, and experience greater job confidence.
