Product Description

A clear and practical guide for teachers and professional and home carers, packed with useful advice and information in four easy to follow sections:

Part 1 - Continuing a familiar lifestyle

Part 2 - Making the most of abilities

Part 3 - Relating and communicating

Part 4 - Managing strange and disruptive behaviour

This video is based on Barbara Sherman's world-acclaimed book of the same name. Filmed entirely on location at residential and day care facilities, it is an invaluable aid and training tool for tertiary institutions, nursing homes, hostels, aged-care teams, community care and family homes.

Author and program consultant Barbara Sherman is a highly experienced social worker, counsellor, caseworker and family therapist, now working as an educator and adviser in aged care. She was also a home carer - her late husband, Bill had dementia.

"To date, the best film my students and I have seen on dignified caregiving we can bring to dementia patients who display challenging behaviours. We all appreciated the vignettes which occured at an actual nursing home....with real dementia patients, and real caregivers. Hands-on experience is best, but background knowledge and theory given in the classroom is profoundly enriched by this wonderful straight-forward film. A 'must-see' for both educators and caregivers."

Barbara Levitan, RN, MEd, Director, Personal Support Worker Training Program,

ParaMed Vocational School, Extendicare Canada.

"This is an excellent video and should be available to all nursing homes, hostels, aged care teams and carers, for repeated viewing."

Dementia With Dignity - Caring for people with Alzheimer's Disease (NTSC) Review

I wish I had seen this earlier. My father succumbed to Alzheimer's (and other ailments) last year and none of our family - even those who saw him daily - picked up on the now obvious signs of Dementia. And when it hit, we were strugling to cope, day by day. But once we all viewed this program - it all started to make sense and we were able to ensure that we could all cope much better with the roller coaster ride ahead of us.

The DVD (I think it's on VHS too) was divided into 4 sections. Continuing a familiar lifestyle, Making the most of abilities, Relating and communicating and Strange/disruptive behaviour.

We really appreciated Section 1 and 3 and the way that all the major issues were shown - and for both carers and professionals a little understanding went such a long way. I have read so much about this disease in the papers etc, but this DVD just puts it all in a nushell and made a difficult situation so much better for us all.
