During the first week of services, NursePartners puts together an activity box for each of our clients living with dementia. These give carepartners the tools they need to start building a successful relationship.
Carepartners know to communicate client needs as they arise. Sometimes by learning more about our clients we can find activities that will best engage them. Occasionally we bring additional items into the client’s home as we discover new interests.
We recommend keeping the brain actively engaged. Families are encouraged to interact with the person living with dementia to find new ways to connect “and say hello”. Jeremy Miller, BSW is a Certified Dementia Specialist who offers recommendations on his website: http://www.engagingdementia.com/engaging-products.
It is also recommended to involve clients in their own care. Clients should feel a sense of responsibility. Carepartners may accompany them to places such as the grocery store or they could shop for these items online. Grocery delivery and other similar services are coordinated through our office.
Let us tell you more about how we can help you or a loved one age gracefully in place: 610-323-9800.
