Do we hold people living with dementia to higher emotional standard than ourselves??
People living with dementia are just like you and I, yet we seem to downplay their emotions as we think they aren’t capable of feeling anymore?? We tend to label their behaviours in a negative light despite their feelings being exactly the same as what you and I might experience. We simply aren’t educated enough on how to interact or cope with someone living with dementia.
That is where Care Partnerships Australia is here to help: We are here to coach and train you to help you understand how to approach your friend or family member with understanding and empathy, so they feel validated and can live the rest of they days with dignity and respect.
