“Would you like to…?” is a very nebulous ask when people can’t visualize what you are saying, and don’t know why you would be asking them. There are many Montessori dementia care invitation styles, but the first two to try are: 1. Show and then ask, this way they can visualize what you are asking 2. “Let’s go” which invites with less decision making and gives meaning (doing something together) People will often say yes to doing something together because it’s meaningful and they know they won’t be alone in figuring out how to do something once they get there. If you are a family member going to visit in memory care, you can use these as well. ❗️ We don’t try any invitation though if it’s to something the person would not like. Just because there is Bingo, doesn’t mean everyone in a care community wants to do it. And that’s not a result of dementia. That’s just personal preference and autonomy, which we want to honor. #memorycare #eldercare #dementiacare #dementiacaregiver #dementiasupport #vasculardementia #personcenteredcare #Montessoriforall #montessorifordementia #carepartner #dementiaawareness #dementia #endalz #aginginplace #alzheimerstips #frontotemporaldementia #montessori #alzheimers #caregivingsupport #dementia #dementiafriendly #homehealthcare #traumainformedcare #caregiverlife #brainhealth #frontotemporaldementia #lewybodydementia #mci #mildcognitiveimpairment
