How to effectively communicate with a person with dementia
During this 5-Minute Wellbeing video, Jane Nickels, Admiral Nurse at Dementia UK takes us through the basics of how best to communicate with someone who has dementia. Jane explains some of the barriers that may be present and how these can be overcome.
Understanding Alzheimer's disease
Jane Nickels, Admiral Nurse at Dementia UK discusses dementia with a focus on Alzheimer’s, the most common type of dementia. Alzheimer’s causes a gradual decline in memory, thinking, behaviour, and social skills, affecting a person’s ability to function. Though dementia mostly affects older adults, it is not a part of normal aging.
We take a look at the early signs of the disease, its impact on individuals and their families’ lives, the help and support available, whether some symptoms can be delayed or avoided, and who is more prone to getting it.
