Ashley Bell - Australian Therapist (Dementia-Specific)
[edit]Ashley Bell[edit source] Ashley Bell (DOB: 5th August 1976) is an Australian Lifestyle and Leisure Therapist who specializes in enhancing the felt experience of people living with dementia. Ashley has accrued over 15 years of practical work experience while being employed at Anglican Retirement Villages, (Castle Hill, NSW) Elizabeth Lodge (Willoughby, NSW) Sir Moses Montefiore Jewish Home (Randwick, NSW) and St. Ezekiel Moreno Hostel and Nursing Home (Croydon, NSW).
Ashley's approach to managing the challenging behaviours of the dementia-specific resident is based on a bio-psycho-social model of person-centred care. His main work practice centres around the idea that "all behaviours of concern are related to an unmet care need".
Ashley Bell is a versatile therapist. An active listener with an intuitive intellect and a passionate talent for prompting individual expression, feelings of well-being and purpose, Ashley Bell places the importance of the creation of meaningful experiences that invoke the expression of memory from the dementia resident through the mediums of art, music, dance, reminiscence and the art of conversation.
Throughout his career, Ashley initiated support groups designed for family members of dementia residents to express their concerns, fears and doubts over the progression of Alzheimer's Disease, Lewy Body Dementia, Vascular Dementia and Parkinson's Disease. Ashley Bell has successfully created communities of care, and works from a sensory-based enhancement method called SHIFT (See, Hear, Intuit, Feel, Think) that is incorporated into all the activities that he devises, conducts and assesses.
