In #delirium, patients rarely volunteer that they are hallucinating. Here's one useful way of asking about hallucinations: "Have you recently experienced anything strange, like visions or voices that seem very real but others don't notice?"

Nurses in care homes provide critical, compassionate care, often under immense pressure. Increased support, recognition, and resources are essential to honour their dedication and ensure quality care for residents. #CareHomeNurses #NursingSupport #Healthcare #Socialcare

People living with dementia thrive in care homes, where they find a supportive community to live and socialise. Let’s reframe the narrative, it’s a place of life, not a waiting room. #DementiaCare #CareHomeLife #PositiveAging #MentalHealthAwareness

⭐️ New research on dementia in hospital inpatients. 🧠 87% of patients with #dementia had abnormal 4AT scores (≥1), vs only 29% without dementia. ➡️ The 4AT - already globally used for #delirium screening - could help identify undiagnosed dementia. Led by Rose Penfold

Conversations about dementia tend to focus on the neurological symptoms of the disease, but it is important to remember that there can be other symptoms and eating and drinking is often a topic of concern. Learn more ow.ly/T8Iq50VtKjo
