March Update
Posted on: 04/03/2010
The word is about that Jane Verity of Spark of Life will be a speaker at conference. We are all looking forward to her comments and insights to dementia care.
Spark of life provides the practical 'how to' combined with the vital personal and emotional support needed by both the person with dementia and their carer. It has been devised by Jane Verity through her experience with Person Centred Care and the Eden Alternative. Her Spark of Life Approach has been adopted in the US, Scandinavia, Europe and Australia, with outstanding results. See www.dementiacareaustralia.com
The March newsletter will be out shortly with Conference papers and request for nominations etc.
