Alzheimer's Training 02/19/2010
Today was a very busy day for us. Patty and I went to the Shawano Dementia Group meeting. We joined this group both for networking with others involved in elderly care and also to give back to the community some of our talents that we have developed in this area. After the meeting, we had an in-house Alzheimer's training. It was a very detailed training. We learned what Alzheimer's actually is, the other diseases that have dementia associated with, how to detect if a person is starting to have dementia and how to treat and care for someone with any type of dementia including Alzheimer's. We were also given accompany written materials to study. We felt this was a very good training experience. Beside this training the Alzheimer's Ass. representative did a walk through our new building to check if it was set up well for residents with Dementia. She said everything was laid out well and that there was nothing she would ask us to change. She commented on how peaceful and tranquil our place was and that she would recommend our place to anyone with Dementia or Alzheimer's.
