We need to be careful that we do not forget that retaining a sense of self and well-being is vitally important when our loved ones are experiencing #dementia. We need to accommodate and respect our loved ones’ personalities, their preferences, and their earlier life experiences.

"At Better People Care, every carer practices the DAWN Method. We have seen time and time again the difference it makes. We believe that it is the best way to provide truly compassionate care for our loved ones living with dementia." -Jill Couch, MS, OT/L buff.ly/3avbLcm

Just home from cycling 55 miles with the wonderful Peter Berry and feeling good. Now I've seen your tweet, I feel even better. Thank you so much😊. That has created a warm fuzzy feeling, total unconnected to the cycling!

Losing rational thought or memory does not return people to childhood. #Dementia impacts the ability to communicate and retain information, not maturity. Our elders continue to be our peers and betters. All should be treated with respect, regardless of any diagnosis. #Alzheimers

The Alzheimer’s World Summit starts tomorrow! If you haven’t grabbed your free ticket yet, do so now! Once the Summit begins, you’ll have to pay to access. bit.ly/3LRZJwP (our affiliate link) #alzheimersdisease #alzheimerssummit #alzheimers

#Dementia takes away rational thinking and language skills, not thought. While verbal language abilities fade, nonverbal skills grow (reading facial expressions, intonation, gesture, posture). Learn to work with the skills dementia does not take away. thedawnmethod.com

When someone with #dementia is gradually losing vocabulary and the ability to organize words into sentences, more time is needed to find words that accurately express what they want to say. Allow pauses. Listen for the *feelings* behind what they say. thedawnmethod.com

Do you really have to sit at home or in a facility? Could you not take them out for a drive, for a latte, to a quiet parking spot to watch people? It’s emotionally painful for our brains to have too little sensory or social stimulation. #dementia bit.ly/44pz8y1

Eventually it becomes difficult to interpret what someone with #dementia is trying to say. Become a careful and attentive observer: listen for feelings not words. Look for discomfort in body and surroundings. thedawnmethod.com #Alzheimers #DementiaCare

Four or 5 years ago, Kate began to lose her speech. I talk about what her speech is like now at #LateStageAlzheimers #Aphasia in my latest blog post. livingwithalzheimers.com/2023/10/18/upd…

Feelings, needs and intentions remain intact—hidden behind failing memory and language skills. Just because someone with #dementia cannot remember the word for pain does not mean they are not feeling it. thedawnmethod.com #Alzheimers #DementiaCare

"When I have the privilege of giving even glimpses of the DAWN Method to a family, it's as if they get to take a deep breath for the first time in a really long time." -Jill Couch, MS, OT/L buff.ly/3BddI8w #dementia #Alzheimers #DementiaCare
