I recently attended a workshop focusing on the unique challenges we face when treating geriatric patients with dementia. It was eye-opening to learn about specific communication strategies that can help ease anxiety and improve care outcomes. Has anyone else found effective ways to handle these situations in their practice?
I find that using familiar phrases or words can really help ease anxiety during treatment. > care outcomes. If a patient responds well to certain phrases, I try to stick to those consistently. What communication strategies have made a difference for you?
I agree about communication strategies! I’ve found using non-verbal cues really helps, especially when words fail. Anyone tried visual aids?
