Dementia Solutions

Have confidence in your training, experience, and passion. As healthcare professionals, we are called to serve and we are all called to lead. Lead through your words, deeds, heart, and actions. Remind those around you that when you care for someone, you see and recognize the whole person and that part of caring is supporting those we care for continue to serve a purpose and have meaningful connections. 💕🌷 #dementiasolutions #education #seniorcare #dementiacare #dementiasupport #alzheimersupport #caregiversupport #familycaregivers #motivation #families #kindness #compassion #meaningfulconnections #worldalzheimersmonth

As professionals and caregivers, it's easy to get caught up in the constant stream of tasks and responsibilities. In the midst of our busy schedules, we might overlook something equally important: making meaningful connections with others. Today, we invite you to take a moment to truly connect—with your residents or clients, their family members, your coworkers, and your colleagues. ❤️ #dementiasolutions #education #seniorcare #dementiacare #dementiasupport #alzheimersupport #caregiversupport #familycaregivers #motivation #families #kindness #compassion #meaningfulconnections

Even when words fade, emotions remain. The people we care for, regardless of their cognitive or physical abilities, still feel and sense kindness deeply. When their speech disappears, know that they can still perceive your love, patience, compassion, and kindness. Though they may not express it or acknowledge your actions, they undoubtedly sense the miracles in your genuine acts of love and concern. Your presence makes all the difference. 🌻💕 #dementiasolutions #education #seniorcare #dementiacare #dementiasupport #alzheimersupport #caregiversupport #familycaregivers #motivation #families #friendships #kindness #compassion #love #patience

Have you ever experienced being so tensed or stressed that it was only after the event had passed that you realized you were holding your breath? Notice how much better you felt after you let out that sigh (hence the expression "sigh of relief")? When you're anxious, do you notice your shoulders tensing up and your lips pursed, jaws locked?    We all need to dedicate some intentional and planned relaxation time. Guilt-free naps are different from falling into bed exhausted. This week, your assignment is to figure out your one relaxing routine that you can consistently do, guilt-free, not-out-of-exhaustion breaks!🍹 #dementiasolutions #education #seniorcare #dementiacare #dementiasupport #alzheimersupport #caregiversupport #familycaregivers #motivation #families #friendships #relaxationtime #takeabreak

Family caregivers play an integral role in a functional and sustainable healthcare system, yet they are often under-recognized and under-supported by it. The Caregiver-Centered Care Initiative at the University of Alberta, Dept. of Family Medicine has developed award-winning, competency-based education for health and social care providers and leaders. The education supports the development of the knowledge, skills, and ability to recognize, partner, and support family caregivers in practice.

Even though we can't create extra time in our days, we can decide how to spend the time we have. When we claim that we "don't have time" or "not enough time," what we're saying is that the particular activity or person is not a priority. We might believe that we don't have time to address a flat tire, but we always manage to find those extra minutes when it becomes a priority.   Time is adaptable, and those who live the fullest lives understand how to prioritize effectively. Whether it's spending time with family, focusing on your business, or enjoying a hobby, the key is to ensure that your priorities occupy your time. Do this every day, and you will never complain again that "there's just no time."   How about you? What's on your list? ❤️ #dementiasolutions #education #seniorcare #dementiacare #dementiasupport #alzheimersupport #caregiversupport #familycaregivers #motivation #families #friendships #timeisimportant #prioritize

We hope, that despite your busy schedule, you find time to connect and nurture your friendships. These relationships are as essential to your well-being as food, water, and the air we breathe.   As we grow older and our calendars become less hectic, it’s these long-standing friendships that keep us youthful and full of life. ❤️ #dementiasolutions #education #seniorcare #dementiacare #dementiasupport #alzheimersupport #caregiversupport #familycaregivers #motivation #families #friendships #relationship #connect #nurture
