Let's Review...
Back to school = A good reminder that we are life long learners
| |
School started back up and what better time than now to highlight the the concept of lifelong learning, as it is beneficial during every stage of life. Did you know that continued learning is proven to show cognitive resiliency?
Make a goal this fall to get your brain boosted!
Here are some ideas on where to start:
- Explore a new topic/hobby - Maybe ask a friend about something they enjoy and explore that
- Read a new book / Join a book club
- Watch a documentary
- Learn a new recipe / Research the origin of your favorite meal
- Attend a workshop or presentation
We support this through:
-
Consulting: This allows the care partner (you!) to learn skills in an encouraging environment without the worry of "doing it wrong". We can meet in-person, virtually, and even over the phone.
-
Coaching: Helps you learn in real-time situations with the person you are caring for. Together we will set goals on what to work on and we will focus on what was done well, and tips on how to reach those goals.
-
Self-Paced Online Courses: This is a great option for care partners looking to better understand brain change, and how to support someone, that have busy schedules. If you are able to carve out time at home or on the road, these presentations may be a perfect start.

“Sheri came to our organization and presented extensive training for our staff on the positive approach to dementia care. The ‘Fish Approach’ gave us an inside view of what it looks like and feels like for the individual experiencing brain change. Recognizing ‘we’ must change our approach to them, versus attempting to change their perspective, was a game changer for all of us. I heard many thank you from my staff for bringing them to us for this training. And even stronger evidence of their appreciation was the continued attendance in multiple sessions over 2 weeks. I look forward to continuing training with Dementia Care Solutions."

The Champion Courses are designed to guide care partners in developing an awareness about how brain changes impact people’s everyday experiences and how our approach impacts this experience. In this workshop, we will explore the role of the care partner in enhancing the quality of life for people living with dementia. By building skills specifically to meet the needs of the person we are providing cares with, we enhance the experience for staff and the person living with dementia.

Progression of Dementia:
What Skills Remain
Often the progression of dementia is measured in stages that focuses on what skills are lost. This approach does not give us tools to help provide care and support. Instead, we will look at what skills remain and shift our support accordingly by using Teepa Snow’s GEMS State Model.
