New, Innovative, Intense and Interactive Dementia Care Workshop
November 6, Wausau, WI Session Still Has Available Seats
Combative. Resistive. Wanderer. Sundowner. Feeder. Angry. These are the words people use to describe people living with dementia. Your words, language, and attitude shape perceptions. What is your approach? How does this affect others? What is your reaction? How much do you know about yourself, your team, and your impact? This full day, innovative dementia care workshop is designed for nursing home staff.
Nurse aides to Administrators will experience a one-of-a-kind, intense, and interactive training that will reframe your behavior instead of “managing” that of the person with dementia. Things you will not learn at this event are the types of dementia, facts on dementia, or textbook materials. What you will learn are self-improvement, affecting and influencing culture, and seeing a different way to think about dementia! This full day of innovative, intense and interactive dementia care workshop will reframe your behavior. Upon completion of the workshop, caregivers will be able to:
- Identify situations where their own behavior could be a factor
- Take common symptoms associated with dementia and phrase them into positive statements
- Promote an overall environment of positive language and behaviors when working with people with dementia
