🎓 A big thank you to everyone who joined today's CHCAGE011 class — Provide Support to People Living with Dementia!

We covered a lot of ground together, including:

✅ The different types of dementia — Alzheimer's, vascular, Lewy body, Korsakoff syndrome and more — and how each affects the people we care for

✅ Why agitation is often a sign of an unmet need (like pain or hunger) — and how to investigate the root cause before anything else, just like we did in Graham's denture scenario

✅ Restrictive practices — why they're always a last resort, and the documentation and consent required

✅ Person-centred communication — validation over correction, speaking simply, and connecting with residents as people first

Ever wondered what a class actually looks like with us? Now you can see for yourself! Every session is recorded with an AI-generated summary, so students can revisit key moments, catch up if they miss a class, and study with timestamped notes.

👇 Check out today's full recording and AI summary here:

To our students: don't forget to complete knowledge questions 17–25 before next session!

See you all next class! 💙
