I was really happy to see that another SLP spends quality clinical time with her residents "in the bathroom!" I have been practicing for over 20 years in the SNF setting and developed these same approaches over time as a way to maximize my ability to help my patients despite ridiculously high corporate productivity demands. I firmly believe that patients get more out of our sessions when we implement practical, FUNCTIONAL everyday tasks into our therapy sessions for memory, safety...everything!

Currently practicing in a similar fashion, in a Montessori certified facility. I’ve met so many SLPs that view touching their patients or assisting with ADLs as wrong; they’d rather their patient be incontinent than “help them to the bathroom”. Gone are the days we sit in contrite little offices and don’t get our hands on patients.

Great information! I think that SLP’s should have a more active role in ADLs especially for SNF residents who are in an active rehabilitation setting. This was great information for compensatory strategies to use with patients that’s struggle with basic ADLs. Good info for me to share with the CNAs at work!

This was one of the best courses I have ever had the pleasure of taking, with so much great information packed into just one short hour. I have witnessed so many of the problematic ADL-related situations the speaker described while working in LTC facilities over the years, but I never realized that I, as an SLP, could be part of the solution for many of them. It really was a revelation, seeing all the good that we can actually do for our patients. Thank you!!!

This is a very neglected area in nursing homes and care centers, at least where I live. My SIL had PD with early dementia,& was in care centers/hospitals for 6 months before her passing. As a retired SLP, I helped her in the bathroom, with oral care, getting her to the shower, etc. It was amazing how this area didn't seem very important, even when there was an OT/SLP on staff. Communication & your approach is SO very important to motivate, & improve QoL. Thank you for your insights!

All of the practical examples for helping patients with ADLs were very helpful. When I was a practicing SLP in a SNF, I felt very uncomfortable when I patient needed assistance with bathroom tasks. If I listened to the lecture then, this would’ve boosted my confidence with assisting with ADLs as an SLP.

Despite having years of dementia experience as both an SLP and a caregiver to someone with dementia, this course was an exciting eye-opener for me. I'm surprised by how much I learned. I was fully engaged from start to finish due to the top notch skills of the presenter. She gave real world examples from her own experience and her enthusiasm for the subject and compassion for this population was infectious. We need more of her.

Presenter was passionate about her mission as an SLP and showed her compassion for the elderly. It was very personal to me as I cared for my mother in law with dementia in my home for 6 years. I can see where my husband and I could have done things differently at times. I did use multi-modal cueing with her but she gave me knew insight.

This was a delightful course which expanded my thoughts and experiences with working on communication needs related to ADL's. In past work as an ST, I personally did participate with activities such as those which were described. However, my interventions and participations for the Bathroom ADL's were much more limited than the situations described for this course. Awesome work!

BRAVA Ms. Thompson- excellent presentation. It is way past the time for SLP's to have the courage to confront those uncomfortable situations with our patients who have dementia. You also have a wonderfully engaging presentation. I can understand why the audience gave many thumbs up, great presentation, etc. Thank you!
