As discussed in the latest issue of Quality Care/Quality Jobs, distributed by PHI, an updated dementia care guide has been released by the Michigan Dementia Coalition.
The guide is free to the public.
Knowledge and Skills Needed for Dementia Care: A Guide for Direct Care Workers in Everyday Language helps direct-care workers determine whether they have the skills they need to deliver person-centered dementia care. It also tells the potential Direct Care Worker where to go for assistance if they need training.
The updated version includes: an overview of the primary diseases that may cause dementia symptoms, top ten warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia-related diseases, a description of structures of the brain, and a glossary of words used in the text.
Copies (pdf) of the new version may be downloaded free from the Michigan Dementia Coalition website. For hard copies, contact Lorie Massuch at lmassuch@mphi.org or (517) 324-7320.
