Physical, emotional, spiritual 23 Progression of Dementia: The GEMS Sapphires Diamonds Emeralds Ambers Rubies Pearls 25 Why Use GEMS? - Uses familiar concepts to talk about a difficult subject - Focuses on what is valued rather than on a number or amount of decline - Like people, gems are precious and unique, with common characteristics - Allow to us to get beyond the words dementia and Alzheimers - Opens the door to talking about changes - Allow us to speak in a code to protect dignity 26 8
9 - Us on a good day Sapphires - Clear and true to ourselves - May feel blue over changes - Some are stars and some are not - Can typically choose our behavior - May have other health issues that affect behaviors - Recognize life experiences, achievements and values - Can follow written info and hold onto it 27 Diamonds -Sharp, hard, rigid, inflexible, can cut -Many facets, still often clear, can really shine -Are usually either Joiners or Loners -Can complete personal care in familiar place -Usually can follow simple prompted schedules -Misplaces things and can t find them -Resents takeover or bossiness -Notices other people s misbehavior and mistakes -Vary in lack of self-awareness -Use old routines and habits -Control important roles and territories, use refusals 28 Emeralds -Changing color -Not as clear or sharp, more vague -On the go, need to do -Flaws may be hidden -Time traveling is common -Are usually Doers or Supervisors -Do what is seen, but miss what is not seen -Must be in control, but not able to do it correctly -Do tasks over and over, or not at all 29 9

11 How can we help better? It all starts with your approach! 33 How You Look At Dementia Matters! - It is not all about loss - It is not untreatable - It is not unpredictable - Behaviors don t come out of nowhere - Dementia doesn t just affect the person with the disease it impacts all of us 34 Dementia cannot be cured, but it can be treated: - With knowledge - With skill building - With commitment - With flexibility - With practice - With support - With compassion 35 11
12 Believe: People with dementia are doing the best they can! 36 Realize: It Takes Two to Tango or Tangle! 37 Being right doesn t necessarily translate into a good outcome for both of you 38 12
13 Dementia-Friendly Language: Person Living with Dementia (PLwD) Care Partner Assisting with Doing with, not to Substitution, not subtraction Unmet Needs Expressive Communication Validation 40 Essentials for Communication: What Helps? What Hurts? What Matters Most? 41 To Connect: - Use the Positive Physical Approach to get started - Make a Visual Connection: - Look interested and friendly - Make a Verbal Connection: - Sound enthusiastic, keep responses short - Make a Physical Connection: - Hold Hand-under-Hand, or use flat open hand on forearm or knee 42 13
14 Positive Physical Approach 43 Positive Physical Approach - Pause at edge of public space (6 feet) - Greet with your open hand next to your face, smile - Call the person by name, if possible - Move your hand into handshake position - Approach slowly and within visual range - Move from a handshake to Hand-under- Hand position -Shift into a Supportive Stance on their side -Get low by standing or kneeling, but don t lean in 44 Hand-under-Hand 45 14
15 A Positive Approach (To the Tune of Amazing Grace) Come from the front Go slow Get to the side, Get low Offer your hand Call out the name then wait If you will try, then you will see How different life can be. For those you re caring for! 46 Then, Connect Emotionally: - Make a connection -Offer your name: I m (name) and you are? -Offer a shared background: I m from (place) and you re from? -Offer a positive personal comment: You look great in that hat! or I love that color on you. -Make a positive observation: What beautiful flowers! or Great photo! 47 Connecting Emotionally: - Identify a common interest -Say something nice about the person or their place -Share something about yourself and encourage the person to share back - Follow their lead and listen actively -Use some of their words back to keep the flow going -Remember it s often the first time for them, so expect repeats -Use the phrase Tell me about 48 15
16 How You Communicate: How you say it What you say How you respond 49 Use empathy and go with the flow! Reality Orientation Telling Lies 50 Ways of Cueing and Helping: - Sight or Visual cues - Verbal or Auditory cues - Touch or Tactile cues 51 16
17 Visual Cues: Signs Pictures Props/objects Gestures Facial expressions Demonstrations 52 Verbal Cues: Keep it simple and short Directed Matched to visual cues Offer concrete choices Break the task down to single steps at a time Ask the person to try or for their help 53 Touch Cues: Touching a body part Handing the person an item Using Hand-under-Hand assist 54 17
18 To Communicate When They re Distressed: First Connect Emotionally Then - Use Supportive Communication Finally - Move Together to a New Location, Activity, or Conversation 55 To Connect Emotionally: - Send visual signal of connection: - Look concerned! - Send a verbal signal of connection: - Use the right tone of voice - Send a physical signal of connection: - Give a light squeeze or sandwich the hand - Offer an open palm on shoulder or back - Offer a hug if the person is seeking more contact 56 Then, Use Supportive Communication: Repeat a few of their words, with a question Listen! Offer empathy: Sounds like Seems like Looks like Go slow Avoid confrontational questions Use just a few words Validate their emotions 57 18
19 Be a Detective, Not a Judge! Try to figure out what is being communicated: Words Thoughts Actions Needs Beliefs Don t assume or presume Don t discount the message because of how it is delivered 58 For All Communication: If what you are trying is not working: - Stop! - Back off - Think it through, then: - Re-approach - Try something slightly different 59 INTENT I'm sorry I was trying to help THIS IS HARD I'm sorry, this is hard, I hate it for you EMOTION I'm sorry I made you angry I m sorry I disappointed you THAT HAPPENED I'm sorry, it should NOT have happened INTELLECTUAL CAPACITY I'm sorry, I had no right to make you feel that way 60 19
