When Communicating with Someone Who Lives with Dementia: Wait.
I love growing PersonFirst® teams. For many reasons, it is highly satisfying to collaborate with caring, willing people to really think through and then take action to empower those who live with dementia. And what I love most is how much I learn every time I engage with a new team.
What Makes a Rehab Household Different from the Traditional Short-Term Unit?
As an organization begins to dig into culture change and the household model, we often hear the question “What about our short-term rehab unit? It’s different!” It’s true. We’re not trying to create a home for people who come to us for rehab. People are with us to do the work and go home to somewhere else, not to cozy into a household.
