What is Namaste Care

Namaste Care focuses of changing the structure of care given to individuals in the later stages of Alzheimers and dementia.

When practising the Namste Care approach a carer might focus on the pleasure of having a bath rather than treating it as just a practical way of getting clean. It can be described as a holistic approach because it can be used in many aspects of the daily routine.

Reported benefits of Namaste Care have included the non-verbal beginning to speak, reduced anxiety and improved engagment with surroundings, carers and family members.
