The DAWN method taught me the sacred balance between safety and selfhood. I am so grateful to Judy Cornish and all that I have learned.
In my experience with my companions with dementia, I have learned first-hand that full-time care is not always the answer. I have seen how the right care, in the right amounts, at the right time, can provide exactly what they need to live safely. Additionally, we can provide them with the highest quality of life by preserving their sense of autonomy, dignity, and control over their lives.
