"I open the garden gate, which creaks on old, worn hinges. The rose
garden is peaceful but not silent. Bird song and the buzz of bees
provide nature's melody. Somewhere in the distance, gentle music is
playing and it relaxes me." Namaste Care offers compassionate care
to people with advanced dementia through sensory input, comfort and
pleasure, combining music, therapeutic touch, colour, food and
scents. With ready-to-use structured sensory stories that are
specially designed for people with advanced dementia, A Namaste
Care Activity Book invites you to enhance your care through
storytelling and sensory stimuli. Early chapters give an overview
of the approach, exploring the effects of sensory stimulation in
improving quality of life. With contributions from professionals
across the field, chapters describe ways to engage the different
senses, including aromatherapy, food and memory and therapeutic use
of lighting. These are followed by a selection of themed stories,
with ideas for sensory activities to support each one. In addition
to guides for Namaste Care sessions, the book provides a starting
point for writing your own stories tailored to the person for whom
you are caring. Inspiring creativity and confidence in delivering
Namaste Care, the activities provide valuable guidance in caring
for and improving the lives of people with advanced dementia.
Namaste Care is a therapeutic approach to caring for those living
with advanced dementia, focused on improving their quality of life
through a simple, soothing and rewarding process. This step-by-step
guide is for anyone looking to translate the principles of the
Namaste Care approach successfully and professionally into a home
or care setting, with an emphasis on the value of volunteers in the
community in implementing this. The Namaste Care approach is
focussed on giving comfort and pleasure to people with advanced
dementia through sensory stimulation, especially the use of touch,
and this book provides extensive guidance on every stage of the
process, including harnessing community interest, recruiting and
training volunteers, and managing pain and discomfort. In a time of
ever-growing strain on healthcare resources, this practical guide
is a timely reminder of the power and value of informal care and
compassionate communities in helping to care better for people with
dementia, and is essential reading for carers, professionals and
family members.
