Repost: This week sees the return of popular guest Isabel Baker, a retired clinical nurse consultant and author from Australia who has more fascinating insights to share about her work, and what she learned in her time as a dementia caregiver and how she helps others learn what is truly needed by those with dementia.
The conversation begins with the fascinating insight that many dementia symptoms can be caused by other issues and moves on to a discussion of Isabel’s C.O.R.E.C.A.R.E principles of caring for those with dementia.
Each letter is an important insight on its own, but it truly all about treating each person as an individual.
So, listen in, and learn about how to take care of the individual.
