Hi! First off thanks so much for the work you do! I have a grandmother with Alzheimers who just recently moved to a permanent care home similar to where you work. She has been very happy there and its great that there are people like you to help with such a difficult disease. It means a lot.
Anyway, I know Alzheimers is a bit different than dementia but they are also similar in a lot of ways. So my questions for you are:
1.) Do you work specifically with patients with dementia or a wider variety of mental illnesses? How does your treatment differ from patient to patient based on their needs?
2.) What would you recommend doing/saying to respond to or help calm a person with Dementia or Alzheimer's when they become upset or confused?
