“She’s 98. And the isolation and loneliness came over her in a river of tears at my visit. Not able to see her son or daughter for 6 weeks. She wants to die. Because at 98 the waiting is too much. I offered to FaceTime her son. She cried more. She wanted a real hug. I in my PPE said enough. I too bent over into her arms she wrapped so tight around me. I broke the rule. I hugged her till she could breathe. We both had a healing. I’d do it again. Love matters most. The older folks in long term care haven’t been touched or hugged. It’s causing failure to thrive. Hugs are a necessary part of living. “ - shared from a nurse from a Covid healthcare workers site, because THIS right here is what the world needs to see ❤️ (shared with approval or said nurse...thank you)

Teepa and her daughter, Amanda, demonstrate some of the basics that are taught in many of the Positive Approach to Care trainings. If we want to change the culture of care for people living with dementia, we need to work on our own knowledge and skill.
Whether you are supporting someone living at home, or are a professional provider in a care community, PAC skills make the difference!
Check out all of the offerings we have coming up and start working on your skills...
