Actually, i will definitely recommends this course to friends in long care setting. Bravo!!

I took this course to improve my performance as a caregiver to a family member with Huntington's Disease. The content opened my eyes to a system of caregiving based on compassion and holistic service for both the recipient and the caregiver. I feel like my objectives were met and surpassed.

This course gave an excellent viewpoint of where our systems should be but is still in a strong stage of idealism vs the actual reality of what is happening in long term care homes - it will however go a long way in raising awareness that there is a good alternative to the current model and guide eventual change (Ihope!)

This course has addressed the important issues of increasing dementia population, challenges for quality of care, and comprehensive care by the SSLD approach. The course arrangement is well-designed, and the information is up to date. The course lecturers have the frontline line experiences and practical knowledge.

A very useful learning tool for professional and personal caregivers, psychology students (like myself) which enhances a broader care perspective for persons living with dementia, opening a window for a flexible, hopeful, openminded yet informed and realistic approach.

Very informative and positive and hopeful in terms of future direction and advances in this field. As the aging population increaes in more and more societies worldwide, this area of attention becomes increasingly crucial.

A very thorough course with facilitators who have first hand experience. Taking this course has helped me gain requisite skill and knowledge to delivering quality healthcare service to persons with dementia

Enjoyed this course so much. Wasn't easy but so worth it. Enjoyed working at my own pace. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Excelente. Conclui e vou continuar lendo os artigos de cada módulo. Tenho interesse em manter o contato e receber o certificado.

Excellent course! It will help me to become more focussed on the needs of the patient

Amazingl COUURSE

I'm happy with the experience and skills I have gained in attending to dementia care.

This course was attempting to cover way too much. It both was trying to address dementia from the patient 's and care-giver's perspectives, and at the same time address several much-larger context perspectives. from a the administrative, the sociological and political, so it seemed to be very much longer than other similar Coursera courses.. It was not only unnecessarily fragmented in its focus, but intolerably fragmented in its presentation; most segments were 3-4 minutes long, some less than a minute. I wanted to quit countless times because this bits-and-pieces structure was so frustrating and infuriating.

Having said that, that I appreciate that the presenters were very well intentioned and have the dementia sufferers and care-givers firmly in their sights to provide assistance, support and encouragement for the well-being of those who suffer from dementia.

Became too much of a politicized Infomercial. A few great moments of value but perhaps too few to regard this as a high quality course. Sorry...just the way I feel.

I am surprised of how robust this course Is, I kind of thought I was gonna get it done in one or two sittings but oh boy was I wrong. Yet I was hooked the moment I started reading the first book. It connected with me and I thought a lot about my dad too since he is the main caretaker of my grandpa, I help out occassionally. Grandpa doesn't have diagnosed dementia but it is obvious. And so I now know that there is a lot of research and theories that can help him and others like him. I want to know more. I am now following Dr. Tsang on social media too, a very interesting person.

This was an exceptional course and the Professor kept us engaged throughout the course and I learned a lot about Dementia Care as well as learning about the SSLD Approach with learning about the Knowledge and Skills for Dementia Care.

O curso é ótimo para cuidadores e profissionais que buscam a melhora na qualidade do serviço prestado e na qualidade de vida do paciente com demência.

Very informative, it has improved my knowledge in dementia care and I believe I will be a better care giver in the futurre. Thanks to the organizers.

Very much actual information in the field I am working in. Thank you!

i found the course very interesting and educating. i am glad ...
