    Topic: Changing from Resistance Care to Participation Care

    This session will provide learners effective strategies for supporting people living with dementia during personal care. It will enable learners to develop better observational skills to recognize and intervene effectively when behavioral challenges occur, and will emphasize the value of matching helping behaviors to the person’s needs and retained abilities to promote a sense of control and self-direction. Learners will understand that matching caregiver help to the state of the person living with dementia will help to foster positive interactions during care activities rather than struggle and resistance.

    Objectives: By the end of this session, learners will be able to:

    Discuss common causes for refusals and resistance to care
    Describe methods that assistance should be modified based on level of dementia and brain changes, personal history and preferences, and caregiver approach and behavior
    Demonstrate key verbal and physical care skills that can improve initial interactions
