The Residents' Voice

Activating Intelligence within Dementia The residents diagnosed with dementia have a...WORKING INTELLECT. And it can be engaged and activated. The existence of the intellect is well known but how it can be activated with people with dementia is the revelation. It's all about the intellect part of the consciousness, separate to the mind, and training the intellect to think. This breakthrough is psychological not pharmaceutical. The extent of the dementia residents' ability to learn and engage through the intellect depends to a certain extent on the individual and how they've lived, how they think, their motivation, fitness, health, resilience, outlook and their support network. In telling their story, and relaying their message, The Residents' Voice shares the residents' achievements and what Daisy learned from them, offering a unique range of advice and strategies for friends and family of those institutionalized with dementia.
