Mission

Dementia Care Solutions works to educate, support and guide caregivers in providing knowledgeable and compassionate care to people with dementia resulting in fewer challenges.

Positive Approach to Care

PAC Certified Independent Trainers and Consultants are not employees of Positive Approach, LLC. The opinions and views expressed by PAC Certified Independent Trainers and Consultants do not necessarily reflect the opinions and views of Positive Approach, LLC or any of its employees.  Positive Approach, LLC is not liable for any actions by PAC Certified Independent Trainers and Consultants.

I have taken steps to implement the teachings and trainings about dementia of Teepa Snow and the Positive Approach to Care®. I serve as a PAC™  Certified Independent Trainer and Consultant Professional to guide learning and skills as supported by certification types. While inspired by my Certifications, all knowledge and skills offered here are only representative of me, independent of the Positive Approach to Care organization.

Staff who complete theworkshops offered by me would be considered Positive Approach to Care trained and the facility can market themselves as that.

Positive Physical Approach™ (PPA)

This is the first step in creating compassionate relationships. It provides a way to connect with people, visually and verbally. PPA asks the question, “Can you except a connection from me right now?” and respectfully accepts the answer or offers an alternative.

The GEMS®: Brain Change Model

This classification model encourages us to get curious about the stages of brain change by focusing on abilities that are present versus what is lost. It provides us with the knowledge to dynamically assess where people are, what they need, and what is possible. The GEMS® advocate that everyone living with brain change when given the opportunity will shine.

Hand-under-Hand™ (HuH)

This allows care partners and people living with dementia the opportunity to build an authentic relationship through a non-threatening physical connection. HuH says, “I am here to support you – to do WITH you, not TO you.”
