Balance of Dignity;: Empowerment Tools for Memory Care at Home.

by Kerry Sandsmark, Sariah Nock (Editor)

Overview

The essence of a Balance of Dignity is as we relinquish the control (we believe) we have over someone else and allow them to know of their own value, we allow them to maintain their dignity. There's enough negativity, despair and heartbreak with this disease, for everyone involved. We have to find the fun by understanding what we can do to make things better. Then accepting what we cannot fix by letting go of any guilt associated with what can't be done. I believe we should be sharing information as an industry standard. My hope is that this small book, as a compilation of over ten years of personal direct care experience, is able to answer some questions and gives you somewhere to go to get more questions answered.

About the Author

I was a full-time Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) for 6 years; I kept up my license for three more years after graduating with my bachelor's while I worked in Social Services Departments. This to me means that while I don't have a master's degree or higher, related to my education, I certainly have experience in the front line when it comes to caring for people. That is where the techniques that are available to us either work or fail. I want to give people at home the same foundation and then help them find local supports through referrals.
