Workshops that Prioritize Planning
Persons living with dementia frequently have other chronic illnesses—and their problems with thinking can make managing these conditions even more of a challenge. A trip to the hospital, planned or unplanned, with a person who has a memory disorder can be difficult to manage and risky.
Thoughtful Hospitalization™ is a 90-minute workshop, in-person or over Zoom, for families and care partners of persons with dementia to help you prepare for both unexpected and planned hospital visits and to prepare for transitions in care.
What Topics are Covered?
Discussion Topics Include:
What do we know empirically about these risks, and how can we reduce them.
How can we be prepared for the trip to the emergency department or an inpatient stay.
What information and knowledge are needed for acute care.
After an acute stay, what information needs to come back with the patient.
How do we prepare ourselves emotionally and otherwise to deal with a less able person coming home.
Trained and Knowledgeable Instructors
Thoughtful Hospitalization™ instructors have undergone specialized training in the Thoughtful Hospitalization™ program, to ensure they deliver high-quality, engaging seminars. The workshop was developed by the team at Splaine Consulting, who have worked since 1988 to improve the lives of people with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers through advocacy, education and public policy. We believe in an empowerment approach to care and have developed Thoughtful Hospitalization™ to give you more tools to use in the care of your loved ones.
