Thank you Molly for the informative post.

Where I come from some care workers need this education otherwise it is a big problem rendering care. Dementia is generally associated with all old people here, this should not be the case though. The cause of this in my opinion is lack of skills development from facility management to regular care workers. Because of the variety of diagnosis of clients in one facility, those not in management or higher in nursing care hierarchy will be ignorant and sometimes indifferent to this important aspect of the work.

I'll gladly share to relieve the pain it causes seeing elderly/client abuse because of ignorance and indifference.

May God bless all those actively participating to help a fellow in need.
