What are your top three strengths that make you an excellent dementia care specialist?

"I believe dementia care specialists require many strengths to excel at their job. If I had to choose my top three, I would say communication, empathy, and a positive attitude. Communicating with patients with dementia can be challenging at times, and I must quickly develop a plan to communicate with them and their loved ones effectively. My patients can easily become anxious or angry, and I must always be empathic to their situation and help them find a solution to their problem. Showing up to work with a positive attitude can help alleviate stress and anxiety in my patients and their loved ones while providing those I surround with a positive and happy experience. I have been complimented on these skills by caregivers, loved ones, and previous employers, and I look forward to bringing these skills to your agency if offered the position."
