This innovative approach to dementia, disability and ageing for families and professionals enhances the quality of life for people experiencing challenges due to disability or ageing and for those living with dementia. It creates an environment in which individuals can do as much for themselves as possible with meaningful roles, routines and activities tailored to the individual.
“This has filled me with so many ideas to improve the lives of our residents. In 25 years of working in care I have never attended a course that has been so informative, interesting, inspirational and relevant.”
“Absolutely excellent, I could listen and learn from the trainer forever!”
“This is what hopefully will be the future of aged care – dignified, respectful and person-centred.”
Course fee: £260
