Island Treasures 'Treasure Chest' with Judy Cornish

  • Summary

  • Another 'Island Treasures Treasure Chest' bonus episode. In this episode we revisit "Skills Retained: Strengths-Based Approach to Dementia Care" Season 2, Episode 13 featuring Judy Cornish.

    Judy Cornish is the founder of the DAWN Method - a strengths-based approach to dementia care. From the treasure chest we hear about two sets of thinking skills: the sensory and the rational thinking skills. We examine dementia through the lens of the disease or medical model and compare that to viewing dementia through the experiential or functional perspective. We also hear about mindfulness and mindlessness and how important it is to recognize the skills our loved one still has and how to supplement the ones they may be losing.

    Learning about this strengths-based, person-centered approach to dementia care can help provide a more positive experience for both the caregiver and their loved one.
