At present I, together with a colleague, am caring for a client with dementia. The client is also non-weight bearing most of the time and is extremely heavy. Stubborness is the order of the day so the use of a hoist is out of the question. This person-centred caring is great in theory but in practice creates challenges unheard of before this. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to deal with violence and stubborness? The emotional drain on us carers is unreal.
