Helping Others While Having Fun!
"Right at Home is a really great place to work! I enjoy my job and the owners Ashley and Mark care a lot about all of us. Plus, the care team and office staff are great . . . love all you guys! I get to actually help seniors and adults with disabilities in need, all while having fun with them. Some are really stuck because they don't have any way to get out or can't afford it. It's part of my job to help them get out of their houses and see a bigger world than they normally could without me. It means so much to me!" — Jesslyn, Caregiver with Right at Home
"You Are What Makes Our Mission Possible"
Dementia Live Training '24
As the top private home care agency in Northern Kansas City, Right at Home is committed to continuous caregiver development for our team and for other caregivers in the community. We recently spent time with caregivers honing and developing skills that help identify possible effects of dementia. To elevate care, compassion, and empathy for those with dementia, you must first gain an understanding of what dementia is and how the individual with dementia feels. The Dementia Live program provides an “inside-out” understanding of dementia enabling participants to experience and feel what it might be like to struggle with any level of cognitive impairment. Putting yourself in their shoes while trying to function through activities of daily life can be sad and eye opening.
If you ever have chance to participate in a dementia training class...please do so! It will change your perspective on what people diagnosed with dementia go through each and every day. Dementia Live provides a tangible, real-life experience for family members and healthcare professionals who want to better understand the complexities of the disease. It teaches how to respond to the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral changes presented by individuals with dementia. Consistent with Adult Experiential Learning, participants are engaged intellectually, emotionally, socially, soulfully, and physically during the Dementia Live experience. This is a free community service program provided by Right at Home as well as routinely practiced in our Northern Kansas City office.
Thank you, to all caregivers providing loving care for those living with dementia.
