ANNUAL CONFERENCE RECAP | 2018
The audience was then encouraged to share various strategies
their staff have used, or can use, when working with the person
living with dementia to reduce the toll it can take on their own
health. She pointed out the signs to watch for when you suspect
resident care is impacting staff and provided interventions
everyone can use to prevent the burnout that can come when staff
work with this population.
In closing, Teepa said that providing care and comfort to the
person living with dementia is tough but reminded the audience
that “without purpose there is no point in being” and she thanked
the participants for doing what they do every day.
