Description
It's no secret... working with dementia patients can be difficult.
And beyond the challenge of memory loss, as their movement expert, you also have to learn to navigate:
- Behavioral challenges
- Decreased safety awareness
- Difficulty communicating
- Confusion and disorientation
- Hallucinations
Our first instincts are not always the best treatment strategies…
But, with the right knowledge and techniques, you can transform challenging moments into patient (and personal) victories, keep patients moving safely and with less pain, and improve quality of life through hands-on care, patient education, and prescribed movement.
This seminar led by Certified Dementia Practitioner Virginia Simmons, CTRS, CDP, CADDCT, CFRDT, founder of Living Active Dementia, can help you gain those skills.
Plus, become a Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) after course completion!
