Resources recommended by Laura Herman:
For family caregivers:
ABC Dementia Course & Community
Provides a free Resource Library, curated education, coaching, and relationship-based support over the long term for a very monthly subscription.
For professional caregivers:
The ABC Dementia Blog focuses on Appreciating Behavioral Communication in Dementia.
Specifically, the material on Behavior Tracking, Recognizing Pain, and Depression are applicable to what we discussed today.
It also covers other key topics, including PRN Pain Medication Use, Constipation, Falls, and how to grow more Proactive as a care community.
The PAINAD can help identify and quantify signs of pain. (I pulled this one from GeriatricPain.org, which is another fantastic resource for both family caregivers and healthcare pros.)
The Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia is a great go-to screening tool for determining whether behavior might be indicating untreated depression.
