Understanding dementia and recognising that the symptoms people experience are a result of changes in the brain can help you better understand the person you are providing care for. This knowledge helps you tailor your communication, interactions and support to better meet their needs and abilities.
By completing this module, it is anticipated that you will be able to:
- understand the causes and prevalence of dementia
- recognise the signs and symptoms of dementia
- describe ways to provide support to people living with dementia
- identify ways to support wellbeing in respite care
