Teepa, thank you. You are an incredibly skilled teacher. I am amazed at the amount of content you have provided. Watching your videos makes me laugh, cry, nod my head in agreement and reflect. I’m incredibly thankful to have found you online. Your voice and instructions are often with me as I interact with my elderly parents with dementia.
Hi, @Gayle Fraser, thanks so much. I'm touched that you have been able to laugh, cry, and reflect. If you'd like to learn even more, you might want to check out our website (www.teepasnow.com) or sign up for our monthly Online Dementia Journal (teepasnow.com/newsletter-subscribe/)
My 67 brother. Has been diagnosed with dementia . He live a state away. And Defac paid a visit and he had a little dog that he didn’t let it out to the bathroom for a year and they said his apartment was so bad. When his friend came by the nursing home he told him how bad his apartment was. Then when I called to how he was doing that day he told me Steve said my apartment was so nasty. And when I went to the hospital it was clean. And everyone I talked to said it was unbelievable.
Hi, @Teeser, wow it sounds like there's been quite a bit going on with your brother. If you would ever like to talk to someone about things, please reach out to our consulting team for a free 30-minute session (consult@teepasnow.com or 1-877-877-1671)
Oh. My. Goodness! I wish I would have watched this before a recent sibling visited. Your role play is extremely helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Tried and extremely difficult with family members who refuse to participate in the learning about dementia and stick with their own opinions.
I feel it has to do with lack of compassion towards the person with dementia.
What other reasons do you think could cause this response for them? What words are they using?
I needed to hear this..having same problem with family..thank you
Hi @Susan Sorko, we are so glad that you found this informatiton helpful. I hope that you've been able to use some of our other resources since last watching this video. Please reach out to us if you still need some help. info@teepasnow.com or 1-877-877-1671.
Hi Teepa. How do you look after a person who is a racist towards you as he teases at your accent and the way you speak? How do you look after a person with war traumatic experiences? Thanks for all your sharing and these are exceptional.
great questions. Please connect with us via our website and we can connect you with someone that can gather some more information and help you figure out some things to try or point you to some additional resources.
What do we do even when we try the skilled communication and the sibling doesn’t believe anything is wrong with our parent?
Wow, @maggiepete2353, that's a difficult situation. Sometimes it doesn't work with siblings when you are the one communicating. I'm wondering if your sibling would listen to an outside source (say one of our consultants or a medical professional). If you would like some assistance in how to talk with other family members, please reach out to our consulting team (consult@teepasnow.com or 1-877-877-1671). Helping others see what you see is often difficult, but we are here to help you.
