People CAN follow the steps to a task, when we make the steps cognitively accessible to them. This involves knowing how the brain works and which task breakdown, demonstration, templating, and cuing is needed for that person. Dementia care is NOT- here, follow this tip that will work for everyone. Dementia care IS- a methodology and system that you follow to correctly assist each individual. Acting for educational purposes. #cna #cnalife #alf #dementia #alzheimers #alzheimerscaregiver #dementiaawareness #dementiacaregiver #montessori #montessoridementiacare #lewybodydementia #frontotemporaldementia #accessibility #memorycare #alzheimerscare #homehealthcare #dementiaactivities #seniorliving

Leave follow-up questions in the comments because this was SO hard to get into a 1:30 min. video! We were happy to expand on it if you have more questions. #cna #cnalife #alf #dementia #alzheimers #alzheimerscaregiver #dementiaawareness #dementiacaregiver #montessori #montessoridementiacare #lewybodydementia #frontotemporaldementia #accessibility #memorycare #alzheimerscare #homehealthcare #dementiaactivities #seniorliving #traumainformed #memoryloss

The EXACT way we set up and guide a task- any task- from toileting to watercolor painting- makes a person able to do it, or not. Using the Montessori principles, 99% of the time a person can do the activity, either independently or with some guidance, but without confusion, agitation, and refusals. #cna #cnalife #alf #dementia #alzheimers #alzheimerscaregiver #dementiaawareness #dementiacaregiver #montessori #montessoridementiacare #lewybodydementia #frontotemporaldementia #accessibility #memorycare #alzheimerscare #homehealthcare #dementiaactivities #seniorliving

Edit: a kind commenter let me know that the blind community would like us to use the other term for this, time agnosia, which makes total sense! I’m so sorry I did not register the ableism in this term, and will change it going forward. Thanks to community educating each other!! I appreciate it. —-This also repeatedly shows my brain that the task really only takes 5-10 minutes. Not the “forever” that my brain assumes and feels every time I do the dishes without something else to also focus on or to create a time barrier for me. From the Cleveland Clinic article: “Time blindness” refers to the inability to recognize when time has passed or to estimate how long something will take.“ It’s not a diagnosis or medical term, but rather a descriptive term for this phenomenon that happens to everyone, but is often far more prominent in people who are neurodivergent such as with ADHD or dementia. #cna #cnalife #alf #dementia #alzheimers #alzheimerscaregiver #dementiaawareness #dementiacaregiver #montessori #montessoridementiacare #lewybodydementia #frontotemporaldementia #accessibility #memorycare #alzheimerscare #homehealthcare #dementiaactivities #seniorliving #neurodivergent #timeblindness #adhd #adhdlife #adhdlifehacks

Please watch to the end.

Montessori care works because it’s a whole different philosophy that has people with dementia engaging in normal life. I go in and do special Montessori activities, like how in our own lives we might go to choir or take an art class or have a game night with friends sprinkled throughout our week. And in full Montessori care the whole day uses Montessori principles which means people are cooking, cleaning, volunteering, visiting with friends, doing laundry, and people can do these things with a lot of independence because Montessori makes these things accessible. When people are supported in living an everyday life, that’s when we just don’t see most of the common behaviors we are told are “just dementia.” #cna #cnalife #alf #dementia #alzheimers #alzheimerscaregiver #dementiaawareness #dementiacaregiver #montessori #montessoridementiacare #lewybodydementia #frontotemporaldementia #accessibility #memorycare #alzheimerscare #homehealthcare #dementiaactivities #seniorliving

I tried to answer in the 1:30 allotted time! I hope this quick answer helps. The second half of this question was does our course teach how to do this in different settings, and the answer is yes! I have taught this to care community professionals (facilities), people who work in hospitals, and in home health care. Actually, home health is a speciality of mine and working in the home is different than in a facility. #cna #cnalife #alf #dementia #alzheimers #alzheimerscaregiver #dementiaawareness #dementiacaregiver #Montessori #montessoridementiacare #lewybodydementia #frontotemporaldementia #accessibility #memorycare #alzheimerscare #homehealthcare #dementiaactivities #seniorliving

66% reduction in psychotropic drugs in one care community, and many others report similar success. Montessori care is a whole different way of thinking about dementia, “challenging behaviors,” and what improvement in care looks like. Can we fix everything? That would be not right to promise. Because there are many things in life we can’t fix, but if it can’t be fixed, it can be improved and people can live better. I would love to have you join the course!
