Hi all, as im a dementia champions at wrk, where can i get info from so i can down load it to make a folder for new, old staff to understand what dementia is, and how to deal with changing behaviour from residents. Also i want to download the different types of dementia. Thanks guys
Hi Renee they can't seem to speak nor seem to understand what we saying. Like would u like a drink, and when u show them the drink, they can't understand what to do even if we assist them. Or when they keep getting up wondering they try to speak what they want but just smile.
Morning everyone, im looking for ideas for any form of activities for my guys i work with as they have muddle to late dementia and some are struggling to communicate with staff. Anything will be great . As im now becoming dementia champions i also need to get other staff members to understand dementia more, so any ideas how to deliver info on her the residents brain deterate would be great to. Some where i saw how they explained this using 3trees as brains. Thanks Maggie
Hi solange can u recommend any activities, or crafts making for the residents i work with. Most are in middle to late stage dementia. As my manager has put me dementia champions would like any advice or support on ideas for these guys thanks Maggie x
Hi guys i work with middle to late stage dementia. Alot of residents are sleepy, or they find things hard to understand. Any ideas on any activities that might be worth a try. I find it frustrating when other carers just sit there. Many thanks Maggie
I am overwhelmed with the activities on this site, truly amazing. This website has been tremendously amazing and helpful for all my residents on the dementia unit. I have worked in the field of dementia and Alzheimer’s in a long term care home for 30 years. This website is a blessing from above. You are all amazing for the future of care givers and residents.
