Last month, Glenda Hawley, my friend and a psychologist here in Moscow, traveled to Chicago to present the philosophy behind the DAWN Method at the ASA annual conference. We stayed for the entire week and enjoyed being able to talk with many of our peers in the worlds of senior care and dementia care.
Here is a link to the highlights of our presentation:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPwIUoPQRDA.
If you’d like to see the entire presentation, it’s available on the DAWN Method YouTube channel. Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vXtVCWrDSc.
The DAWN Method was recently featured on NWPTV’s xConnectNW show. Judy Cornish, creator of the DAWN Method, explains the unique method of dementia care that came from her work with people experiencing dementia and living in their own homes on the Palouse. The DAWN Method makes it possible for families to provide care for longer at home by training them to support the rational thought losses and emotional needs caused by dementia.

“Judy Cornish, who operates Palouse Dementia Care in Moscow, Idaho, has developed an approach called Dementia & Alzheimer’s Wellbeing Network, or DAWN. She offers training and consulting to families of people with Alzheimer’s, including Spokane-area clients.
Cornish recommends looking first within personal circles for companion caregiver options.
“The first place I’d look is friends and relatives,” Cornish said. “Secondly, I’d be looking at my church or my memberships at a club or group, because you want to have some kind of accountability. You want someone to refer this person.”
“The thing I wouldn’t do is advertise on Craigslist or in the newspaper. . .
