Often, dressing, bathing, grooming and even meal times can present challenging situations when caring for people with Alzheimer’s. From the patient’s perspective it may seem like strangers are going through their clothes, forcing them to undress, and taking them to frightening places.
Dr. Rabins and nursing staff share a strategy to facilitate ADLs using a step-by-step approach with simple verbal cues, positive facial expressions, body language, gentle guiding and lots of positive reinforcement. Filmed at Cooper Ridge.
