Why we know this works
Why we know this works
We love this course because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we hear one question from dementia families more than any other: why do they fight me when I am only trying to help? Why do people with dementia resist care? Because the disease changes how a person understands what is happening to them, so care that feels routine to you can feel alarming to them. This video training teaches how dementia changes the way you provide care, with specific tips and professional tricks to help safely and successfully, with less stress and less lifting.
It is especially important for families facing resistance during bathing, dressing, or toileting, and for anyone newly caregiving after an Alzheimer's or related dementia diagnosis. If you want stage by stage guidance to go deeper, our free Living with Alzheimer's video trainings and the free Effective Communication Strategies course are the natural next step.
