Detail
Do you want to make a difference in the quality of care & life for people with more progressed dementia and protect their body shape by tackling the cause, not chasing the consequences?
You also feel & move with your brain and the brain is confronted with sensorimotor disintegration caused by dementia, we have to respond correctly to the disruption of the body-feeling, body-scheme & body position sense, which causes a loss of bodily self-awareness & body ownership. You will be trained to work with a sensory informed & stabilised positioning in a 24/7 approach to prevent paratonia, taking on foetal posture, developing muscle contractures, structural movement restrictions & postural deviations, pressure ulcers & difficult care situations!
This training day will feature both a theoretical session & practical workshop about the why-how-what 24/7 approach on this specific person-centred dementia care concept, that is also connected to the principals of Single Handed Care, so it also will make a difference on the physical workload & mental work pressure for caregivers.
