We asked our carers what their main take aways were:
Michelle, our trainer, said “the person living with dementia shouldn’t have to change their behaviour, you should change your behaviour to accommodate theirs”
Sandra said: “A simple thing like creating space or changing the colour of plates dramatically helps a client with Dementia. ”
Carol said: “I never realised that you should tell the client your name over and over again. I always thought once or twice but even if you turn your back, the dementia patient can forget who you are. The gentle touch on their arm to makes such a huge difference. Amazing training”
This training was complemented by our online dementia training so that our team are equipped with all the skills to support our clients who have various cognitive illnesses.
