S2:E17 Judy Cornish, Founder of DAWN

Описание: Hello Care Partners,
Today we celebrate another amazing woman who is changing the way we see and care for people living with dementia. Let me introduce you to Judy Cornish.

Judy Cornish is an author, founder of the Dementia & Alzheimer’s Wellbeing Network (DAWN®), creator of the DAWN Method® and retired elder law attorney.

Her two books (The Dementia Handbook and Dementia With Dignity) take person-centered dementia care from theory to practice by teaching families how to provide strength-based dementia care.

Through DAWN, Judy provides consulting, dementia coaching classes and an online video series for families and home caregivers. Her goal is to help families learn how to truly support their loved ones and enjoy more companionship as they live with dementia.

Listen and watch as we talk about what led Judy down this path and how she developed her unique approach, The DAWN Method. Her methods did not come from caring for a family member but actually started watching a neighbor and realizing the current model did not work but identifying the experiential model was key. Rational thinking tends to go away along with sequencing.

Enjoy Judy's stories and proven methods and begin to understand the three stages of aging. Great information here. You will want to re-listen to this one!
