Who Am I? (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Who Am I? is the story of many older people living with dementia. A challenging behaviour equals an unmet need, and people experiencing behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are often in places they don't remember and don't feel safe. Often as caregivers, our primary role is to establish trust and give them a place to feel safe. It is important to check basic needs often because people can't always tell you what they need. As family, it can be hard to see the person you love becoming more frail. But sometimes, the small things can help them to be comfortable and remember who they are.
