Dementia and other cognitive conditions can cause changes in behaviour and medications are often prescribed to manage these behaviours.
However person-centred care, which involves knowing the person, their preferences, and life experiences, is the key to supporting older people who exhibit changes in behaviour. When tailored to the individual, alternative therapies and approaches are more effective and provide better outcomes for the older person.
In this webinar, our panel discusses why investigating the causes of behaviour change is essential for better health and wellbeing outcomes. They also explore practical strategies for supporting people living with dementia.
This webinar covers:
the importance of investigating and responding to the causes of changes in behaviours in people living with dementia.
