Person-centred care (PCC) is a crucial approach when supporting individuals living with dementia. By adopting PCC, we can effectively enhance their quality of life. When caring for someone with dementia, it's common to face challenges in understanding their behaviors and making decisions about their activities. #PersonCentredCare #Dementia #DementiaCare #QualityOfLife

"Caregiving is a journey, not just a role—one that requires as much support for the caregiver as it does for the person receiving care." In the world of dementia care, we often focus on the needs of those living with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. But what about the caregivers—the unsung heroes who provide love, patience, and support every single day? Their well-being is just as crucial, and it’s time we start the conversation around how we can better support them. At Memory Lane Games, we’ve seen firsthand the transformative power of connection and engagement. Our app not only stimulates the cognitive functions of those living with dementia but also serves as a vital resource for caregivers. With features designed to encourage reminiscence and foster meaningful conversations, we aim to create moments of joy and laughter that benefit both parties. The results speak for themselves: 92% of caregivers reported feeling more relaxed after using our app, and 83% said it made their loved ones laugh. These moments of connection can be a lifeline, especially during challenging times like sundowning or wandering. I invite you to watch this interview with CW7 Arizona (KAZT-TV) that delves deeper into the importance of caring for caregivers while providing excellent care for those with dementia: [https://lnkd.in/ejsP8X2v). Let’s open the floor—what experiences do you have in supporting caregivers? How do you find balance in your caregiving journey? Share your thoughts in the comments, and if you found this post helpful, please give it a like or repost it to spread the message. Together, we can create a supportive community that uplifts both caregivers and those they care for. #DementiaCaregiver #Engagement #inhomecare https://lnkd.in/eXzcevSM

When I began learning The DAWN Method, I had no idea it would become so personal. As some of you may know, my dad is experiencing advancing dementia. In the past seven years, I have had the privilege of bringing DAWN Dementia Specialist Care, coaching, and training for families, communities, and professionals. Wow! What a privilege to bring the message of hope vs. despair. To provide tools and ways for dementia to be okay without medications or methods to manage behaviors or symptoms. To equip caregivers to experience their own lives becoming richer as they learn how to bring good to the days of their loved one experiencing dementia. To set a different expectation for aging and dementia — That with the right care and support, people can live well, in their own homes, with advancing dementia, and most often without full-time care. Our approach is simple yet profound: we provide the right care (The DAWN Method) in the right way (often through a ‘caregiving by stealth’ approach), in the right amounts (tailored to the individual’s needs), and at the right times (also personalized). When we achieve this balance, those living with dementia can continue to lead fulfilling lives, and their families and friends can also thrive. https://lnkd.in/gPZwYn5S #personalexperience #dementia #theDAWNmethod #dementiacare #dementiasupport #caregiversupport #family #hope #betterpeoplecare
