ACE - Aged Care Enrichment

The Gifts of Dementia with Judy Cornish


Listen Later

In today's episode weโ€™re exploring a radically different approach to dementia care which can help people remain in their own homes for longer.

Judy Cornish is the creator of the DAWN method - and she joins us for a fun and fascinating conversation about how she came into dementia care with no prior experience and developed a way to embrace the strengths and avoid weaknesses of people living with dementia.

Judyโ€™s model leverages the highly developed intuitive skills of people living with dementia and encourage carers and families to communicate in ways that donโ€™t depend on the often-diminishing rational skills, which she explains in quite a bit more detail throughout the episode.

If you want to learn more about Judyโ€™s wonderful work after this interview which I think you will, she has two books available online The Dementia Handbook and Dementia with Dignity that you can check out.

As always you can hear Daniella and Maurieโ€™s take and thoughts about these ideas in their show Who Cares? which is released every Friday.
