<p><strong>How to provide effective Activity Therapy for Alzheimer’s &amp; Dementia clients in an enjoyable but cost effective programme.</strong></p>
<p><!-- bad script removed by David --><a href="https://imaginationgym.co.uk//wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Wexford.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1440" title="Wexford" src="https://imaginationgym.co.uk//wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Wexford-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><br />
This is a staff training course for professionals in residential home elder care. The course teaches staff how to provide activity therapy for patients with Alzheimer’s and Dementia based on the proven ImaginationGYM methodology. Providing activity therapy can be quite a difficult task for many staff and the course will not only teach staff how to deliver effective activity therapy but will also provide evidence and case studies on our research in this area.</p>
<p><strong><!-- bad script removed by David --><a href="http://store.imaginationgym.com//Activity_Therapy_Staff_Training_Alzheimers_p/attadwx.htm">The course is being held in Wexford 23rd January 2013</a></strong><br />
This is a very cost effective way of delivering an activity program in your Nursing Home on a regular basis. After initial training and set up costs, annaualised costs per capita for each workshop can be measured in cents. We recommend the program is run at least once a week for clients as it has a progressively beneficial impact. Key outcomes included:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Reduction of stress</strong></li>
<li><strong>Increased engagement</strong></li>
<li><strong>Improved communication</strong></li>
<li><strong>Helpful behaviour management</strong></li>
<li><strong>A very enjoyable experience for both clients &amp;      staff</strong></li>
<li><strong>Stimulation of all senses</strong></li>
<li><strong>Group work</strong></li>
<li><strong>Cumulative positive affects over time.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>The program is successful because the workshops are run to a fixed methodology. The initial training is necessary to impart this methodology to staff. Training is held on 2 separate days approximately 1 to 2 months apart. Ongoing support is also available as part of the initial training commitment.</p>

<p><strong>How to provide effective Activity Therapy for Alzheimer’s &amp; Dementia clients in an enjoyable but cost effective programme.</strong></p>

<p>This is a staff training course for professionals in residential home elder care. The course teaches staff how to provide activity therapy for patients with Alzheimer’s and Dementia based on the proven ImaginationGYM methodology. Providing activity therapy can be quite a difficult task for many staff and the course will not only teach staff how to deliver effective activity therapy but will also provide evidence and case studies on our research in this area.</p>
<p><strong><!-- bad script removed by David --><a href="http://store.imaginationgym.com//Activity_Therapy_Staff_Training_Alzheimers_p/attadnd.htm">The course is being held in North County Dublin 17<sup>th</sup> January 2013</a></strong><br />
This is a very cost effective way of delivering an activity program in your Nursing Home on a regular basis. After initial training and set up costs, annaualised costs per capita for each workshop can be measured in cents. We recommend the program is run at least once a week for clients as it has a progressively beneficial impact. Key outcomes included:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Reduction of stress</strong></li>
<li><strong>Increased engagement</strong></li>
<li><strong>Improved communication</strong></li>
<li><strong>Helpful behaviour management</strong></li>
<li><strong>A very enjoyable experience for both clients &amp;      staff</strong></li>
<li><strong>Stimulation of all senses</strong></li>
<li><strong>Group work</strong></li>
<li><strong>Cumulative positive affects over time.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>The program is successful because the workshops are run to a fixed methodology. The initial training is necessary to impart this methodology to staff. Training is held on 2 separate days approximately 1 to 2 months apart. Ongoing support is also available as part of the initial training commitment.</p>
