Hello everyone,

DailyCaring.com has a great piece this week about non-verbal communication with people with dementia. Sometimes our words are misunderstood, and body language can say far more. Take a moment to read more (link to article is below) about the 6 nonverbal communication techniques that can make caregiving easier with your residents:

• Be patient and calm
• Keep voice, face and body relaxed and positive
• Be consistent
• Make eye contact and respect personal space
• Use gentle touch to reassure
• Observe their nonverbal reactions

Have a great week!
