Who dedicates themselves to helping people live well with dementia? Shirley Pearce founded the Twyford-based charity Understanding Dementia to do just that. She joins us to explain about her work changing the culture around dementia care by training carers and health professionals to better understand what may be the reasons behind a person’s anxiety or behaviour, leading to more successful interactions and greater wellbeing for all.Shirley gives examples of the charity’s A-Z of tips and introduces its Dementia Trouble Shooting Service before revealing why working with people with dementia can be so rewarding.Website – www.understandingdementia.co.uk | Facebook – www.facebook.com/understandingdm | Twitter – www.twitter.com/understandingdm |
