When working with older adults, service providers and community responders often find themselves helping individuals with dementia. These encounters can be uncomfortable or even emotionally charged if the service provider or community responder doesn’t recognize the dementia or know how to best approach the individual. It may be unclear the person’s capacity for understanding the situation or making appropriate decisions.
This training is designed to prepare you to recognize behaviors that are indicative of dementia and discern when special approaches and handling may be required. We’ll discuss capacity assessment, disability etiquette, and learn Teepa Snow techniques that can help diffuse the situation, encourage acceptance of assistance, and improve outcomes for both the person with dementia, family members, care providers, and community responders.
