Through resident vignettes, this program presents the many challenges of communicating with Alzheimer’s patients throughout the stages of the disease. As a result of these communication barriers, these patients are often ignored.
Content includes the importance of establishing a link with patients and specific strategies for maintaining communication with confused and withdrawn residents. Actual demonstrations with residents and guidelines from staff show how to enter the world of the Alzheimer’s patient and learn "their language."
