The Positive Dementia Care – Level 2 Course is ideal for people either interested in, or currently engaged, in a nursing/residential care environment.
 
This Positive Dementia Care course explains facts about dementia and shows students how they can combine key ingredients of people-centred care in order to improve the daily life of those with dementia. To provide excellent quality care, care-staff will learn to recognise people with dementia as whole individuals, and understand all the needs that sufferers with varying conditions have.
 
Dementia itself is not a single actual disease or illness, but is an umbrella term used to describe lots of different types of conditions, all of which have one thing in common; they attack and destroy the cells in the brains of people with a dementia.
 
On successful completion of this course students will receive an accredited Level 2 Certificate Award.

The Course covers the following Units:-

  • Unit 1: Realising Feelings Matter Most in Dementia Care
  • Unit 2: Dementia, the Brain and People’s Feelings
  • Unit 3: Valuing a Person’s Well-Being
  • Unit 4: Working Positively with a Person’s Disability
  • Unit 5: Becoming a Person-centred Dementia Care Worker
  • Unit 6: Communicating with a Person with Dementia through Feelings
  • Unit 7: Focusing on the person when providing Personal Care
  • Unit 8: Creating a Positive, Meaningful, Active Day
  • Unit 9: Appreciating How Behaviours Link to Feelings
  • Unit 10: Applying Person-Centred Care
