Erin Bonitto, Gemini Consulting You can t go home you live here now! Remember, you have to sit down! You don t want to fall! There s nothing wrong with her she just hollers all the time like that. These phrases are still common in too many elder care settings. Why? Because most expert resources explain what should be included in our dementia care & training programs but don t explain how to sustain dementia care skills in the real world where we often struggle with less-than-ideal staffing levels, budgets, time, and expertise. Using an innovative and do-able approach to dementia communication and dementia education, the presenter will offer proven (& fun!) education tools for dementia education that STICKS. Attendees will learn how ANY nursing team member can be an effective dementia educator, by using tools such as The Post-It Note and The Memory Glue Guy. Additionally, the presenter will help nurses apply and teach simple dementia communication techniques to their co-workers. Finally, the presenter will discuss behavior prevention known make life much less frustrating (and safer) for both residents and their nurses & caregivers. Learning Objectives: Describe how Alzheimer s Disease and related dementias damage the brain. Demonstrate communication skills and scenarios, and activities to be implemented by memory care providers.
