Hi
I was a carer for my late Mom, had vascular dementia and capgras syndrome. My father has Alzheimer's also and is now in a home so in total I have cared for them for around 10 years I guess on a family level.
I wonder if anyone can help? The hospital where I work has asked me to put together an informal "training sheet"to be available to the new starters on the ward to help them deal in best way possible with dementia patients. I think the main point they are trying to get over to new staff is communication and challenging behavior.
Any bullet points would be appreciated. I did look for the article on "compassionate communication" but I have to admit the new layout of the site has me baffled
I am hoping in a small way I may help improve life for our relatives suffering with his dreadful illness.
Many thanks
