Why join the workshop?
Did you know that dementia can change the way a person sees the world?
These changes can affect how your loved one perceives their surroundings. This can impact how they interact and respond to their environment and people around them.
So, what does this mean for you as a care partner?
And how can understanding these changes make daily life easier for both of you?
In this workshop, we’ll explore everyday-life care situations and focus on small, realistic adjustments that can make everyday life safer, calmer, and more positive for everyone.
What to expect
The workshop is divided into two 1-hour sessions, each focusing on a key aspect of visual perception and how it can influence care.
Part 1 – Visual Field
In the first session, we’ll look at how dementia can affect the visual field and how to adapt your approach to support your loved one more effectively.
Together, we’ll cover:
-
Common changes in the visual field
-
Step-by-step support in a daily care situation:
Assisting someone to get a drink -
Open discussion and time for your questions
Part 2 – Perception of Contrast
In the second session, we’ll focus on how changes in contrast perception can influence a person’s daily activities — and what you can do to make your environment more supportive.
Together, we’ll cover:
-
Understanding contrast and its impact on daily activities
-
Step-by-step support in a care situation:
Using the toilet -
Key elements to look out for when adapting to changing contrast perception
-
Open discussion and time for your questions
The goal
These two sessions are designed to empower you with practical ideas and insights, helping you and your loved one feel more confident and connected in daily life.
