This recording was designed for you, the frontline dementia care professional who is providing the best care possible to dementia patients living with moderate-severe stages. They have complex and challenging behaviors, like hitting, screaming, wandering, delusion, resistance and withdrawal.

Increasing support for people with dementia is needed to communicate friendship, compassion and dignity. The day-to-day responsibilities of dementia care can lead to emotional exhaustion, depersonalization of patients and feelings of failure for those in a support role. It’s not the level of care you sought to give others.

The consequences of failed behavior management in dementia care can be avoided by learning evidence-based treatments and person-centered strategies. Come away with:

• A systematic approach to developing individualized behavior plans that are more likely to work the first time
• Methods to accurately identify common causes and manifestations of challenging behaviors
• Management strategies to directly target the trigger causing the undesired behavior
• Communication strategies to use with persons with dementia as a behavior management strategy
• Strategies to manage the potential consequences of compassion fatigue and burnout

Developing person-centered behavior plans in dementia care results in higher quality care, increased quality of life for the patient and decreased provider burnout. Register now and get the dementia care training to be a better problem-solver.
