More about The Caregiver Certification
The Caregiver Certification for Preferred Learning Styles of Persons Living with Dementia guides caregivers in the investigation and analysis of the preferred learning styles of persons in their care who are living with dementia. Understanding and gaining cooperation during personal care of a resident with dementia can be difficult especially when there are language barriers and cognitive deficits concerning comprehension of object and situation.
When a caregiver such as certified nursing assistance attempts to help a resident with activities of daily living (ADLs), it can be difficult and time-consuming to accomplish even the simplest task because of the patient’s understanding of the process and the resistive behaviors that are often a result of confusion.
Knowing the preferred learning styles of person’s living with dementia and then constructing ADLs based on how the patient still prefers and understands their environment may help reduce resistance to care. Increased cooperation during direct care may improve dementia unit productivity and help nursing assistants find increased satisfaction in the workplace.
