New year New Strategy! I’ve been taking some tim New year New Strategy! I’ve been taking some time at the start of 2023 to reset and re-evaluate. It can be overwhelming trying to decide where to invest our limited time and resources where we feel it will have the biggest impact on dementia care services here in Bermuda 🇧🇲 also taking the time to reflect on all that was achieved in the past year! Lots to celebrate but equally much to learn from. NorthStar’s priorities for 2023 will include formalizing caregiver education and support resources, advocacy and leadership at the National level and securing sustainable funding streams for community based dementia care and support services. Better get started! Comment below if you have any other suggestions #dementiacare #bermuda #northstardementia #navigatingdementiatogether #youarenotalone #leadershipandadvocacy #strategicdevelopment

Bermuda is lucky to have you Jerry! Keep up the great work! ❤️🧠🌟 #northstardementia #bermuda #dementiacarechampion #knowbetterdo better #navigatingdementiatogether #youarenotalone
Our second winner is…..MARVLYN!!! Marvlyn is a p Our second winner is…..MARVLYN!!! Marvlyn is a private caregiver who has worked with individuals living with dementia throughout her career. She worked with her last client for 3 years, and is now considered part of their family ❤️ Marvlyn’s advice for anyone beginning their dementia care journey: 1) Keep a smile on your face- the first few minutes of communication can make or break an interaction 2) Don’t take anything personally- it’s the disease not the person 3) Always treat people as you would want to be treated. They pick up on far more than we know. Talk to them not for them. 3) Be patient and listen- even if it’s the same story you have heard a 100 times, act as if it’s the first time you are hearing it 4) It’s more than knowing about the condition, it’s about understanding the feeling behind the action. Keep love in your heart always ❤️ Marvlyn has changed the lives of her client and his family forever with her kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and intuitive approach to care. We wish we could clone her! 😁 Congratulations Marvlyn! Enjoy your well deserved prize! #dementiacare #bermuda #northstar #knowbetterdobetter #dementiachampion #navigatingdementiatogether #youarenotalone 🧠 🌟 ❤️
AND THE WINNER IS........ BRENDA! 🧠🌟❤️ AND THE WINNER IS........ BRENDA! 🧠🌟❤️ Please meet Brenda. Brenda has been primary caregiver for her husband Miles for the past 5 years. He was initially diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment, which has since progressed to Alzheimer's disease. Miles enjoys listening to country music, reading coffee table books with information about different places and interesting photographs, watching television and spending time with family. He also enjoys attending the Connections Program @friendsofhospicebda Brenda's advice for anyone beginning their dementia caregiving journey is: 1) Maintain a good sense of humour 2) Know that everyday will be different 3) You will find that you learn from experience over time as to what works best for your loved one 4) If you find yourself in a challenging situation, back off and retry later. You will find moods can change very quickly. 5) Use what motivates your loved one. Miles loves bananas and would happily get out of bed if he knew there was one waiting for him for breakfast! We think Brenda & Miles make an incredible team ❤️ Congratulations Brenda and please enjoy your well deserved prize! Stay tuned as we announce 2 more lucky winners over the next few days. #dementiacare #bermuda #northstardementia #dementiacarechampion #knowbetterdobetter #navigatingdementiatogether #youarenotalone

This World Alzheimer's Day, I had the pleasure of This World Alzheimer's Day, I had the pleasure of partnering with @mandybda with @aadbermuda to raise awareness of the importance of post-diagnostic care for Dementia. 85% of persons living with dementia do not receive the post-diagnostic care and support services they require. There are multiple interventions that can improve the quality of life of those living with the condition and their supporting family members. We will continue to fight to ensure equal access to these essential services for all Bermudians 🧠🌟❤️ Thanks to Inspire 105 and Ocean 89 #dementiacare #bermuda #navigatingdementiatogether #youarenotalone
