The 6 C's of dementia care — what they mean in practice, not on a poster
The 6 C's are commonly described as care, compassion, competence, communication, courage, and commitment. They are a way to describe good caregiving values. Compassion helps the person feel safe. Communication makes care clearer and less stressful. Competence and commitment support consistent help, while courage matters when hard decisions have to be made. Different places may define them a little differently, but the core idea is the same.
