Today, we look at Part 7 of our series Creating Rich Sensory and Social Experiences for Those Experiencing Dementia: Embracing New Possibilities
When caring for a loved one with dementia, it’s important to keep an open mind. Even if they never enjoyed certain activities in the past, their intuitive skills remain intact, allowing us to bring rich experiences to them through their senses.
We’ve often heard companion’s loved ones say, “Oh, they won’t want to do that; they never liked it before.” Yet, with the right approach, many of these individuals end up enjoying the very activities they once avoided. This transformation happens because we understand how to work with dementia and meet the emotional needs of those experiencing it, as taught by The DAWN Method.
Stay open to new possibilities—you might just discover new ways to bring joy and connection to your loved one’s life.
