Have you struggled with caring for older adults living with dementia? Do you find it challenging or confusing to work around some behaviors they display? We are back for the final part of Dementia Decoded with expert Dalyce Gouin (RPN with Interior Health). In this episode Dalyce will talk about the 'hygiene crisis' (can personal care really wait?) and will give you real world strategies to help do personal care appropriately with a patient with dementia. She will also talk you through the top 10 unmet needs someone may have who maybe can't communicate well. This will help you become a skilled detective when faced with challenging behaviours. She will end by telling you 5 ways to make someone toast....yes toast....listen in to learn more!

Join us for this informative and empowering series of episodes as we continue to learn how to provide compassionate, patient-centered care for those living with dementia.
