Reminiscence Therapy for Dementia: Creating a Memory Basket that Encourages Reminiscence & Evokes Memories
Quality Time Together is a Precious Gift
Recently I had the pleasure of connecting with Alena Dailey, Integrative Arts Manager for Hospice of the Chesapeake while hosting AGE-u-cate's quarterly chat for Compassionate Touch® coaches. Have you ever connected with someone and instantly felt a sense of comfort? Like you've known this person forever, but you just met? That's what it was like talking to Alena! She's passionate about elevating quality of life for elders and creative in how to accomplish her mission. Here's a simple yet powerful quote from Alena:
“A lot of people forget patients still need human touch”
"Preparing our healthcare professionals to work with the aging population must include quality dementia training. We've found the gold standard with Dementia Live🅡", Michelle Kimzey, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Texas Christian University Harris College of Nursing and Health Sciences.
