"Working with dementia residents can be very challenging and I would like to recognize a CNA at Beach House who has made a very positive impact on a gentleman I represent. She established a positive, caring relationship that never fails to surprise me. How did she do this? I’ve noticed the following: she calls him Father, (which is how he sees himself), she asks rather than tells him to do certain actions and gives a reason. She recognizes his hearing deficit and gives him time to answer her requests, and she consistently thanks him for doing the correct thing. And when he fails to comply with correct behavior, she simply says, I’m leaving now. (I’ll be back.) Because of this respect, he trusts her. It’s a beautiful thing to watch. And, one more thing: since he is an Irish born, she understands and honors the fact that he comes from a different culture than most other residents. She not only is a hard worker but she has mastered the “secret:” Don’t focus on the disease, and all its many foibles; work toward making the “best” out of the day that can exist. Beach House fosters this kind of service at their fine facility. Thank you to her and Thank you, Beach House. "
