Dementia Care (Core)
A deeper course for carers supporting people living with dementia — what different types of dementia change and what stays reachable, communication when words fail, making the home and the day allies, behaviour as communication, everyday support that preserves dignity and independence, rights and risk without taking lives away, and caring for families and yourself for the long haul. Recognising and escalating change — never diagnosing. Builds on Dementia Awareness.
