Show Notes:

I’m thrilled to have Rosanne Burke join me in this episode to share tips and strategies to help you be a better partner with care staff who may be helping provide care for your loved one whether at your home or in a long-term care setting.

You are an important member of the care team. Do your best to help the other team members get to know your loved one, and keep the lines of communication open so the person receives the best care possible, and any bumps along the way can be resolved quickly.

Strong communication skills will help you get the information that you need and if necessary, advocate for your family member. Don’t be afraid to speak up or to ask questions.

Rosanne is a professional speaker, educator, and owner of Keji Consulting, a dementia education and training business.

She facilitates group workshops, and offers individualized coaching sessions for families and healthcare professionals.

She is passionate about improving the care and quality of life for persons living with dementia, and their care partners.

She is also the care partner to her father and an active volunteer with the Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia.

I hope you enjoy the show.
