Implementing Namaste Care: A Sensory Approach to Advanced Dementia Care

Nicola Jacobson-Wright and Faith Frost present on Namaste Care, a sensory-based programme for advanced dementia. Their research shows it significantly reduces agitation and improves quality of life in care home residents. The episode highlights the programme's key elements, positive impacts on residents and staff, and also introduces an online course developed to educate and support staff in delivering Namaste Care, aiming to improve the quality of life for people living with advanced dementia.Connect with Nicola Jacobson Wright on LinkedInConnect with Faith Frost on LinkedInThis podcast is free to listen - but the care behind it isn’t.Rowcroft Hospice is a registered charity, and much of our work is made possible thanks to the generosity of local supporters.
