In these two half-day workshops, learn the basics of dementia and dementia care. We will discuss:
- important skills and strategies for day-to-day care that will help you to:
- prevent or reduce responsive behaviours
- successfully interact with people with dementia
- de-escalate situations that may occur
- brain changes in dementia and how they affect communication, judgment and decision-making, making it necessary for caregivers to change their approach to persons with dementia
- the cognitive changes of dementia (7As of dementia) and how these brain changes affect the life of a person with dementia
