Nonverbal Communication for Dementia Patients
ORGANIZATION: AccentCare Hospice
Please visit the new page to apply.
Are you attuned to nonverbal communication? Do you feel like you possess the metacommunication skills necessary to be able to connect with people who have advanced stage dementia? We are looking for people who possess nontraditional forms of communication skills necessary to be able to connect with select patients who otherwise lack conventional forms of verbal communication.
If this opportunity catches your eye, please introduce yourself, and explain what nonverbal communication means to you in this context. How would you imagine yourself bringing companionship and connection to this demographic?
-"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."
