Join Erin Bonitto, a nationally-known dementia communication coach on July 28th to discuss dementia communication and COVID.
July 28, 2020 | 1:00 – 2:00 PM
Even before COVID, providers have understood that dementia care is ‘all about the approach.’ Now, during the time of COVID – when team members may be routinely wearing masks, gown and gloves – what are the implications for dementia communication? How might the use of PPE trigger additional confusion, anxiety, and behavioral symptoms? What specific skills can the wearer use to decrease frustration and increase comprehension for the person with dementia? How might video chats leave the person bewildered or agitated – and what specific strategies can the team member use to minimize this outcome? Participants of this webinar will explore these questions and more with Erin Bonitto, a nationally-known dementia communication coach. Please come ready to share your questions, experiences and best practices as we dive into ‘dementia communication on steroids’ during COVID.
