Introduction to dementia and brain changes
Developing trust through communication (verbal/nonverbal)
The art of communication through a changing journey
Behaviors versus reactions
Tips on bringing calm through response, rather than reactions
Activities of Daily Living- bathing, dressing, toileting, etc.
