Back to the Bedside

The Dover Park Hospice in Singapore asked me to visit their hospice to observe how they had adapted Namaste Care, a program I had developed for people with advanced dementia. Originally it was a small group program for nursing homes, but now it has expanded and can be found in care homes and hospice organizations all over the world. On the first day of my visit, I was asked to observe a Namaste Care session. Five social workers were giving five patients hand massages. The room was perfect — very lovely and homelike — and calming music was playing.
