Throughout my first 26 years of life, no experience has shaped me more than the two years I spent providing care to those with dementia。 I met Judy Cornish, the author of this book, during my lunch break one day, and pleaded my case to work for her。 At the time I was looking for work experience before applying to graduate school, but instead I gained a lifechanging education in what it means to listen to and learn from our elders。 I used to say, “suffering from dementia”, but this book has remin Throughout my first 26 years of life, no experience has shaped me more than the two years I spent providing care to those with dementia。 I met Judy Cornish, the author of this book, during my lunch break one day, and pleaded my case to work for her。 At the time I was looking for work experience before applying to graduate school, but instead I gained a lifechanging education in what it means to listen to and learn from our elders。 I used to say, “suffering from dementia”, but this book has reminded me that much of the suffering is the result of improper care, not the condition。 Typical nursing facilities in the United States have under-paid and over-worked staff, trained in medical interventions。 When residents with dementia act out or express themselves through yelling, psychotropic medications are administered, numbing the residents and causing further emotional harm。 This method of care ends up costing all parties involved much more than a person-centered approach, where patients are able to remain at home。 When we choose to view someone with dementia as a human being, rather than disease, we find that nearly all behavior is the result of some underlying emotional distress。 By focusing on these emotions, it’s entirely possible to allow those with dementia to remain in their home, aided by daily caregiver visits, and enjoy the beauty in life through their intuitive abilities。 I love the way Judy depicts elderhood as the last of our three stages in life。 Childhood is seen as a time for little humans to improve their cognitive and physical capabilities, and adulthood as a time for mastery and accomplishment, but why has elderhood attained such a stigma? It’s as if we treat the elderly like they are failing at adulthood, when in reality they have already graduated。 Their cognitive faculties have passed the top of the curve and are heading downward。 Although it’s impossible to determine how much of one’s dementia is caused by lifestyle choices or genetics, a certain amount of forgetting is expected as one reaches old age。 There currently is no medical or pharmaceutical cure for dementia。 When faced with an unfavorable, yet unchangeable, situation, the popular approach should constantly be reevaluated。 It’s clear that America is failing at caring for and respecting our elders, and I believe Judy’s approach with the DAWN Method is a much more humane way forward。 “I believe that, in our accomplishment-driven, productivity-focused, and technology-distracted society, many of us have lost sight of the value of family and service。 We have lost the knowledge that when we care for people who cannot care for themselves, we are exercising kindness and generosity, even if our actions are initially prompted by duty alone。 In serving, we are expressing and fostering our very humanity。 Most of us pursue an increasingly-elusive perception of happiness and fulfillment, while failing to see that these things lie within easy reach, and always have, within our families and homes。 We find it there when we pause, and spend time with someone who is walking life’s road ahead of us, and do for them what they can no longer do for themselves。” -Judy Cornish 。。。more
