Welcome to the DAWN Method of Dementia Care from Judy Cornish

Judy Cornish, creator of the DAWN Method and author of Dementia With Dignity and The Dementia Handbook, welcomes families and caregivers to learn about the DAWN Method—a revolutionary care method that when implemented, leads to less stress and more companionship for both the caregiver and the person experiencing dementia.

Judy explains briefly how she left her career as an elder attorney and spent five years working with people experiencing dementia and Alzheimer's disease. She discovered that they weren't going crazy or exhibiting bizarre behaviors that no one could understand. Instead, Judy realized that people with dementia are actually losing very specific skills and keeping other very important skills.

Once we understand which skills they are losing and which skills they will keep, we can learn how to stop embarrassing them and frustrating them. This improves companionship, decreases stress and conflict for both of us and creates more opportunities to be together, experiencing joy and beauty.

Join us here at the DAWN Method and learn how you can support your loved one experiencing dementia or Alzheimer's.
