Eating and Drinking well: supporting people living with dementia

This training film is the outcome of a two year research project by Bournemouth University, funded by the Burdett Trust for Nursing. It highlights to carers how to improve their practice and develop their knowledge and skills to provide better eating and drinking for people living with dementia. It is linked with a workbook that is available from Bournemouth University National Centre for Post Qualifying Social Work (www.ncpqsw.com/publications/)

This is a wonderful presentation. I am in tears. I wish we lived in England. Perhaps it is the National Health Service and the "socialist health care system" (as some in the US would call it); we in the states have more a Victorian bedlam system. Understaffed, under trained, minimal care, corporate health care system that is unbelievably expensive. I can't believe that my family member who lives in a US facility pays $13,000. a month for the care received and it is nothing like this video. I am very disheartened. I feel sick and angry. We in the US think we are have everything the best in the world, but we are deluded. Private enterprise and for-profit -corporate owners of care facilities in the US have a lot to answer for when they stand before God and are judged. What we see here in this video is not about money, but doing things properly with real caring and humanity. The facility where my family member resides had plenty of money for the external look in general because it is a "retirement community" that includes long term care. They need to keep sucking in more residents to the retirement community so it is critical that the exterior looks great. But go inside and spend hours and hours observing it will make you want to go live in England. Jesus wept.
