Alzheimer's Society comment: Adults with Alzheimer's disease who are talked to like children are more resistant to care.
This is according to new research presented at the International Conference on Alzheimer's Disease (ICAD).
Good communication skills and regular interaction are vital when caring
for people with dementia. This research shows that speaking to people
with dementia in an adult manner not only enhances their quality of
life but also improves the entire care experience.
Quality care relies on simple principles and even small changes can
vastly improve quality of life for people with dementia. Alzheimer's
Society research is calling for mandatory specialist dementia training
to help empower staff and ensure everyone gets access to a high
standard of care.
