You too can join the conversations by asking questions of Carmen and her guests. Carmen's smart look at culture change focuses on a wide variety of topics. She brings an insider's view of regulations, and reports on little changes happening in government, in attitude, in practice. Each month she will share culture change news and updates, amusing and heartwarming stories, and interview a guest on a relevant and timely topic.
Shedding Light on Dementia for Family, Friends and Care Givers
2nd in a series on creating a good life for persons living with dementia
HOST: Carmen Bowman
GUESTS: Megan Hannan, MS & Linda Bump, MPH, RLD
Action Pact consultants
How can we stay in relationship with the people we love who are now living with dementia?
Consider:
- Listening and being present
- Appealing to strengths and abilities
- Experiencing even a small success
These are things that help any of us have a better moment, hour or day, and often help persons living with dementia feel heard, included, competent and less isolated. That can be huge!
We invite staff, families and friends of persons living with dementia to join us for this "illuminating" conversation. We'll discuss the five basic human needs: comfort, inclusion, identity, occupation and attachment, and how understanding those can help us be present and in relationship with persons living with dementia. We’ll also talk about simple communication techniques and approaches that have been shown to help ease agitation or confusion.
For this show, we encourage communities to invite family members and friends of your residents living with dementia, to join you for this webinar. Make it a party!
For those who support someone living at home with dementia, gather family and friends together for this webinar.
As always, registration for the webinar allows you to attend the live show and/or to watch the recorded show. Learn at your convenience!
