Compassionate Touch is a person-centered, non-pharmaceutical approach that combines skilled touch and compassionate presence to enhance the quality of life for people with dementia, or those in later stages of life. This class, designed for caregivers and volunteers, covers the importance of touch, the effects of touch deprivation, and techniques to ease common dementia-related behaviors. By using Compassionate Touch, caregivers can reduce stress for both themselves and those they care for, fostering comfort, safety, and dignity in the caregiving relationship.
