Do you work around people with dementia or Alzheimer's? The answer is yes. Many residents here on campus suffer from this disease but not all live in our memory support areas. Sometimes you can get in difficult situations with them because you don't understand how the feel and how they are interpreting their surroundings. There are ways of deescalating these situations in a quick and positive manner and luckily we offer that training right here on campus. Also it will help in future encounters if you can better understand this disease.
We have an eight hour comfort matters class scheduled for Thursday, August 18th in the Facilities Management meeting Room. To sign up please contact Karen Mitchel at x8460 or [email protected].
Get involved!
