Doing Dementia Differently, A Non-Traditional Approach to Memory Care

Lori La Bey talks with Zach Parlier the Administrator at English Rose, where they have been providing Memory Care, Assisted Living, and In-Home Care in the Minneapolis metro area in Minnesota for 25+ years. Zach has been a dementia educator for the past 7 years and is eager to spread a larger message about how caring for people with dementia can be simpler when we allow for an individualized approach and experience. Lori has had the privilege to observe their care model and it was truly magical.

Learn:

  1. The difference between Memory Care and Assistive Living.
  2. About the different types of care settings.
  3. What is “staff ratio” and how does it affect care services?
  4. How love and kindness play a role in care.
  5. Why longevity in staff matters.
  6. How to understand and manage behavior communications by leveraging multi-sensory language.
  7. The importance of being responsible for your own caring style.
  8. Identify the difference between being right and being successful.
  9. How to apply a resident's “Normal” to create meaningful engagement.
  10. What does well-being mean to you and others?
  11. How to deal with Sundowning.
