The challenge of Sundowning

A video recording of a seminar presentation by Louise Jones, Amana Living, Dementia Care Specialist, on 16 September 2015, for WA DTSC.

Overview of presentation:
One of the most complex challenges in promoting the well being of people living with dementia is to provide relief to those who experience the agitation and confusion of Sundowning.

This presentation will investigate what Sundowning is and how we as carers can both exacerbate and alleviate it. The focus is on taking the whole of service approach to both understanding and assisting the individual experiencing the negative effects of Sundowning.

Although presented in the context of residential care, much of what will be discussed has applicability to the community care sector as well.
