In March, The Carrington hosted two webinars presented by Amanda Snow Bulgarelli, lead speaker and COO of Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach to Care®, with a goal to provide helpful information and resources to families on a journey impacted by dementia. The Carrington is happy to provide these educational and supportive opportunities for not only our own residents and staff, but for families in Lincolnwood and beyond.
Positive Approach to Care® is one of the world’s leading advocates and educators for anyone living with dementia. Their mission? To improve the understanding and culture of dementia care one mind at a time.
Learning More About Dementia
The presentations focused on providing a deeper understanding of how dementia typically progresses. It also explained ways families, loved ones and care partners can be most helpful at each stage of progression, such as how to communicate more effectively and compassionately with those experiencing brain change.
Ms. Bulgarelli and the Positive Approach to Care® experts offered great insight to the seniors, family members and care partners in attendance. The Carrington’s leadership and staff also value continued education, using Teepa Snow and her team as a trusted resource to gain a deeper understanding of this method and ways to use it each and every day at The Carrington.
