How to use "The Gift of Purpose" 101

Service Description

While you are welcome to use any of "The Gift of Purpose"materials on your own, but this one-on-one online consultation offers a deeper and more personal level of support. During the session, we talk through the basics of dementia in everyday language, walk through the Global Deterioration Scale, and explore how memory loss affects routines, communication, and engagement. We also review how to use The Gift of Purpose packets to their fullest potential, including how to match activities to the person’s abilities, how to simplify or enrich tasks, and how to create meaningful moments of purpose throughout the day. As part of this consultation, you receive an additional activity packet called “Watch” and a helpful guide. Together, these support a follow-up conversation focused on planning, adapting, and implementing the program with the individual in your care. For healthcare providers or anyone interested in understanding the potential deficits revealed through the artwork, drawings, and puzzles, as well as best-practice strategies for successful implementation your next step after using these materials is the 201 Class. That session takes a deeper look at interpretation, intervention planning, and how to use the insights from the materials to support the abilities that remain. This consultation is designed to give you confidence, practical direction, and personalized guidance so you can use the materials in ways that truly support the person you love or care for.
