This one’s for you, PRN SLP-we know you’re doing your best to help your patients in a broken system. Natalie Douglas joins the Nerdwaves for her second shift to share her story and to help you navigate the hurdles of working in a long-term care setting. Natalie walks us through the complex care partnership at the center of dementia support, one which recognizes that dementia affects the entire family and that effective intervention starts with a deep understanding of the patient. You’ll learn how an empathetic clinical approach leads to co-creation, dignity, and authenticity in dementia care. You’ll hear the harrowing story of how commiserating over a lice outbreak brought a team closer together. And, as always, you’ll gain great tools in the show notes to get you started. Tune in to explore beautifully simple intervention ideas that just might make that balancing act you’re doing a bit easier while also bringing sustainable progress and quality of life to the patients you serve.
