At Assisting Hands Home Care, we believe that providing the best possible care means continuous learning, growing, and building strong relationships in our community. We partnered with SaraBella Assisted Living to host a vital training event for our team of caregivers and their staff. Marcy MacPherson from Still Alive Inside led a comprehensive training on advanced dementia care techniques, which focused on the crucial topic of dementia care.

This training was an in-depth journey into understanding and supporting clients in the later stages of dementia. While our caregivers already possess extensive training in Alzheimer’s and dementia care, this session was about upskilling—enhancing our caregivers’ expertise to offer even more specialized care.

Key Highlights of The Event

Advanced Training: The training was based on the Positive Approach to Care, pioneered by Teepa Snow and delivered by Marcy MacPherson. The Positive Approach is a relationship-centered method, emphasizing the importance of understanding the strengths of those living with cognitive decline. Caregivers learn how to create a supportive environment that promotes dignity, comfort, and empathy.

Building Expertise: Our caregivers not only participated in this engaging, hands-on training but also earned educational units and a certification in advanced dementia care. This certification reflects their commitment to being proficient in recognizing the needs of seniors with late-stage dementia and providing care that truly makes a difference.
