I’m not a caregiver nor do I work in the medical field, your video popped up and I decided to watch it and I’m glad I did. You are such an amazing communicator and trainer. I gained a deeper level of empathy for others. This is your 3rd video I watched and I think I’m a better person for it.
Wow, @Amy James, thanks so much! I'm glad to know that you feel like a better person for watching. Please share this information with others and consider subscribing to our channel to hear bout new videos as they come out (ruclips.net/channel/UCSXrEX7LkWOmfTaV6u1C7wQ)
Same. Her videos are very enlightening. My parents are in their 50s, and turning 60 in the next few years, and I’m gonna bring this stuff up to them. They might end up with dementia, they might not. But regardless I want to get a plan in place for them.
I worked in this field for over 10 years. Teepa's videos should be compulsory education before anyone steps onto the work area. Then 8 weeks in, repeat the viewing. It will reduce the turnover and educate the staff ongoing.
Hi, @Kay Pies, that's a great idea! We would love it if we could get Teepa's videos as compulsory education for dementia care. We are working in this area witht some states, but if you have any ideas and you would like to discuss them with us, please call us at 1-877-877-1671 or email info@teepasnow.com
Us CNA's need her help in nursing home's.
Amen x100!
@kay education always is helpful!
Knowledge IS power indeed! In this case, for the caregiver, especially if/when family members, and for the receivers!
My mom taught me to always touch someone's toes when your having to wake them. To this day I can remember her softly grasping my toes and the feeling of calmness when she woke me.
Thanks for sharing, @Mrs.Schmenkman
That is incredibly sweet 💜
I have a traumatic brain injury & have not had access to any TBI therapy. From true beginning, I know there were problems-similar to the early signs of dementia. I have watched many of your videos and have learned ALOT about my disability from you. Thank you, Teepa Snow! You are my hero!
Hey @Joyce! Thanks for the kind words. We are glad that you have learned ALOT from our videos, but we would like to learn from you too. Please consider connecting with others living with brain change by visiting teepasnow.com/resources/for-people-living-with-dementia/ or call us at 1-877-877-1671.
We are dealing with my advanced dementia mother in law. I cant even put into words how invaluable your classes have been. It has taken me from a ahhhhhh why are you being that way to a ah now I know what your doing and why teepa showed us this. Just understanding dementia takes all the stress and puts it in a smaller more manageable container. Thank you thank you thank you. Far different when it is a loved one.
My MIL also has moderate dementia.
She moved in with me just over 4 weeks ago. The multitude of things she has/is doing, which place her at risk or cause a lot of issues, are so stressful.
She is in point blank denial of having dementia. She says it’s spirits annoying her and blackouts/fits.
She does not communicate well and acts very secretive and paranoid.
It’s so difficult to work out how to respond at times. And to control the response.
This Dr is not only gifted, talented and compassionate. She is also very entertaining and good actress. (If you tune in on the parts when she is enacting a dementia patient senario) she is totally convincing as someone who has the condition.
Thank you for helping me understand what is happening with me.
Hello, @Patricia Cusworth, while I thank you for saying I'm a doctor, I'm not. I have been an OT/PT person and care partner for many years. I also appreciate that you are finding our videos helpful.
@@marykennedy6946 🤗
Teepa, I've just completed my first 11 months as a well-being assistant in a dementia care home with 62 residents. I've learned more from you in 30 minutes than I learned in 11 months on the job. Thanks for all you share. You are a gift to humanity and a wonderful engaging teacher. Bless you
I'm an OT in a nursing home in Belgium working with people with dementia. I've been going through so many of your videos :) They have helped me understand my residents so much better than anything I ever learned in college! Wish I had found these 2 years before, before I started working. Oh well, never too late to learn!
I'm so typical as a caregiver in some ways: I tell myself I've got too much to do and I'm too tired to check out Teepa's videos. But everytime I watch and listen to one, I'm asking myself, "WHY did I put this off? Things could've been so much easier by now!" And the importance of making a list of our own sensory preferences for comfort! I'm starting mine today.
Hey Joanne, this is Dan from Teepa's team. I feel like I could have said exactly what you said and have it be just as true :) I also know that sometimes our videos are a little longer than the time we have. Did you know Teepa is on TikTok now? She has been adding several videos every week and none of them are more than 3 minutes! There are a lot of helpful tips and how-to videos for support and care tasks. Check it out at tiktok.com/@teepasnow
@@teepasnowvideos My dad has been having problems remembering to close doors and drawers and how to put belt in pants and how to put pants on properly. He will open doors and drawers, but not close them. Doesn't lock doors properly either. Has problems expressing his thoughts. I noticed his behavior and memory impairment in 2017, but it has gotten worse past 1-2 yrs. Neuropsychologist dx him with MCI: Mild Cognitive Impairment not dementia. MRI shows Chronic White Matter dz and brain atrophy and MD stated not Alzheimer's. He is very upset because he failed written part of driving test and can no longer drive. Also, he is unable to draw a pic of clock or put numbers inside the clock. Really has problem drawling number 5. Is there anything you recommend I can do to help preserve and reserve his current function with cognitive activities or diet? MD stopped Aricept stating he doesn't need it. I notice he likes to sing a lot too.
08:34 is the funniest moment I've ever seen on a conference about concientization. She's so deeply into teaching that she gives it all for their listeners. The people's reaction is gold.
Wonderful video! Also wanna add just from my specialty of psychology/mental health - attachment. Attachment is what keeps human alive and no one, especially people with dementia, can be expected to move into a facility calm when all are strange faces. I do want to acknowledgement that caregivers do wonderful work while their rights are massively underprotected and themselves underpaid. We need real investments into caregivers and domestic workers so we have the capacity to make rapport happen in these spaces and in building dementia-friendly communities.
Yes @chronicreverse, We constantly wish that we could turn the world of dementia care training and payment on its head! For now, we rely on the organizations that do put staff training and education first, if you are one of those organizations, reach out trainings@teepasnow.com and we will figure out how to fit this content into your budget!!
Also, insurance to pay for in home care when the caregiver can no longer do it at home. It's absolutely RIDICULOUS that they would rather pay for a Nursing home, where there are 100x more expenses
The significance of this woman cannot be overstated, she's a national treasure and I find myself wishing I had possessed the same level of insight when my grandfather was suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Looking back, I recognize there were many things that could have been approached differently. With that in mind, I hope these videos are widely disseminated to provide aid and guidance for healthcare professionals and family members seeking to provide better care for their loved ones with dementia.
Hey, @Vincent Gonzalez, thank you SO much! The team here at Positive Approach to Care agrees with you about Teepa! I want to say, you did the best that you could with your grandfather with what you knew at the time. I'm glad that you found us now and please be sure to share us with others. You might also want to check out www.teepasnow.com for even more information or consider subscring to our channel here (ruclips.net/channel/UCSXrEX7LkWOmfTaV6u1C7wQ) to get new information as it becomes available.
Who in the world would give these videos a thumbs down! Best resource for your toolkit and a definite blessing to have. Thank you Teepa.
So nice of you to say this! We do understand that our work is not for everyone and that not everyone agrees with us and that's OK. As care partners, we have to find what works best for us and the people we support.
I think jealousy of Teepa Snow's skill, originality and confident teaching of something so needed is at the heart of a negative response.
This made me cry. When you were talking about what people need to survive, the comfort, the pain, and how it can literally kill you...all I could think was I am 43 years old and I have had all of these things happen to me. I have had pain that I could not take anymore (and got no relief) after a car accident. I have been so uncomfortable and scared and confused, I didn't want no one to be near me. Then I thought about in 20 or God willing 30 years....is this what I have to face? Will I be in pain, even more, all the time? Will I be afraid all the time? I'm blessed right now because I can talk myself out of those thought patterns. I can tell myself it hurts but you aren't dead yet, thank God. I can say, it's okay we can get over here and take care of ourselves. I doubt anyone with dementia can do that. Even if they could, would they trust the world around them enough to have the confidence to do that? Thank you for this educational series.
Hi, @D. Mitchell, I'm sorry that we made you cry. It sounds like you have been dealing with quite a bit for a long time and that can be so hard. We have a team of people who would love to help you work through things and maybe plan for the future. If you are interested, please contact us at consult@teepasnow.com or visit www.teepasnow.com for more information.
I would approach touching a person just as I would a horse. You want them always aware of where you are, slow and calm and gentle but firm. This is excellent stuff. Thank you.
I am telling all my CNA Co-workers in nursing home's to watch all these, we are being over ran with this horrible disease and behavior's that go with it.
Hi, @Brandy Huffman, thanks for sharing our videos with others. We are hopeful that more will want to learn even more. If you are sharing educational information, you may want to check out our offerings for organizations (teepasnow.com/dementia-education-for-organizations-overview/) or for individuals (teepasnow.com/services/one-day-public-skills-champion-course/) where people can learn and practice with mentors.
#4 is so hard for me, our father raised us and my mom lived a crossed the country. It’s many learnings for me EVERYDAY now that she has moved in with me.
Hi, @ING, sorry that it is so hard for you now that you mom is living with you. If you would like to talk, please reach out to us at consult@teepasnow.com or 1-877-877-1671 for a free 30-minute consult.
I wish more people would take & apply ur teachings. Life for a Dementia client would be improved by a thousand. I luv you & follow u with all me heart. Ty for all you do to make a better world for people
Dad passed away almost 3 years ago. I’m now understanding more about dementia than I did before he died and I read and learned, I thought, a lot! Now I know so much more. Dad never liked the texture and taste of yogurt. He had a caregiver who really upset me as she tried making him eat it. Even though he’d close his mouth or shake his head. She’d say, you liked it last night. We later found out she wasn’t qualified for the job. She worked 4 nights a weeks for $1200 a week.
Hi, @Me, I'm sorry for your loss and the way your father was treated, that wasn't right. Thanks for sharing and if you would ever like to talk about things, please reach out to our team at consult@teepasnow.com or 1-877-877-1671.
excellent and thank you. No matter how much I study and learn, there is always more. I do appreciate Teepa. No one like her. Exactly what I need to do - study - learn. I'm so grateful to you Teepa. What I sense I learn most is COMPASSION 'through' AWARENESS and UNDERSTANDING.
Thank you! I feel the same way. Finally a source for tools to really care for people suffering with dementia.
The more i study dementia for my new caregiver career (and you are the most hands on issue instructor), the more i realize my 93 year old dad, whose mother had dementia, is quite normal if not astute for his age. Pity my controlling sister threatens him with having him “declared demented” (putting him away or just being manipulative and cruel). Don’t think i am not defending his sanity. Vehemently. In his defense I rail. In fact, it could be argued I sound...demented...kinda like the kooky congress. Gotta learn to chill if only for my sake. Thanks again.
Your teaching skills are phenomenal. Thank you.
The algorithm brought me here and I'm glad. I've learnt a lot in the few videos I've watched so far.
Hi, @Oliver Collins, so glad that you've learned some things from our videos. If you'd like to know more, please visit www.teepasnow.com or listen to our podcasts (teepasnow.com/services/talk-show/)
I don’t even know anyone with dementia but watching you wake Sharron up made my heart well up a little.
If I can find these, I'd like to watch all of them. My mom has severe dementia and when she sundowns she's determined to go home. Home no longer exists. She lives with me, since February and my sister since early 2017.
She's become argumentative, and some verbal aggression. I have no idea how to deal with this. It's the same questions every 2 minutes. I'm the only one with her in the evening.
Diana thank you for reaching out to PAC , I am Paula and I work for Teepa. She has many great videos , might I suggest that you check out our website. Teepasnow.com, we have lots of free videos and different sessions that you can attend, we havce one Ask Teepa Anything that happens once a month, sometimes every other month but you can ask Teepa a question. Here is also a video that I found that may be of some help to you. ruclips.net/video/BLReoWyOehQ/видео.html Teepa has a lot on you tube that may be of help as well , if you google her and put in teepa snow dementia and wanting to go home it will help you to pull up a few videos. I hope this helped. Havce a great day.
Hi our Mum had dementia third degree a bed case, No talking, we would start singing she would also and be happy, we found out that when you sing we use both sides of the brain, all the best, start songs that your Mum knows 🐞A LONG WAY TO TIPARARY was our Mum's favorite 🎶
I'm also almost 70 but I'm not slow. I'm determined not to lose it.
The childbirth analogy is excellent.
Thank you for this lecture. I'm a nursing student and finding your talks amazing for learning and implementing tools to understand and care for dementia patients. They just don't teach these things in uni, despite patients with dementia composing a significant portion of my patient loads.
Hi, @Claire Fox, thank you for the compliment. If you have any ideas of how we can get our content into uni, please let us know. You can reach us at info@teepasnow.com or call 1-877-877-1671.
Teepa, you are always full of succinct, pertinent and helpful information with a delightful presentation. You feel like an old friend here to support us in our role as caregiver. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! 🤗☺️
Wow, thank you! Every view, like, and share helps us spread these messages to those in NEED:) Thanks for watching and for being our friend.
Thank you for this education- I hope in the future that there will be either more prevention and more treatments available for dementia or else all of the caregivers have this training! I’m writing my love/hate lists now ‘just in case’! If I ever get a cramp in my leg I always think of how awful it must be not to be able to communicate that to someone-you would be crying with the pain. And there are worse of course-heartbreaking disease. 😢
Thank you for tuning in and for bringing up the need for more training in the care world. As for your leg cramps, I wonder if now is a good time to start keeping notes on things you would want care partners to know about you in case you can't simply tell them?
I watched a 5 minute video from this channel and now I’ve been watching them for hours. This is absolutely amazing. This is just wonderful! My uncle is failing and this really really helps.
I am gonna steepa in the Teepa, daughter of dementia Mom just got put on my 1st high blood pressure medicine. Education education.
Hi , I am a caregiver and I just love your classes/videos !! I can so relate !! Thank you so much! 💓
Hi, @Ange2923! So glad that you love our classes. Thanks for being a member/subscriber of our RUclips channel!
I wished I watched these eye opening videos when my grandmother was still alive. I understand her so much better now.
Hello, @Crazycat Lady, I'm glad that you find these videos to be eye opening and I'm sorry you didn't see them sooner, but I'm glad that you are able to remember your grandmother and know that you will do things differently when you encounter someone living with dementia now. Thanks for commenting.
I am eternally grateful for your teachings available on RUclips & now FB! I took care of my mama at home & you were my lighthouse through the experience! Thank you! Bringing awareness to Eldercare. If we don't do better we deserve the care we'll receive! 💙
You are very welcome @My Independence! We are so happy to hear that we were able to help you.
She's doing God's work teaching all of us.
Teepa is amazing.
She is ..
I am caregiver and she give me a lot of information!!
I am learning so much about how to be able to help my Uncle who has dementia. Thank you so much
Hi, @Julie Lambert! We are so glad that you find our videos helpful. If you like what you see here on RUclips, you might be interested in checking out what Teepa's doing on TikTok (www.tiktok.com/@teepasnow?) or checking out all of the resources on our website (www.teepasnow.com)
Very informative and I hope my future care givers have seen your video because I have frontal temporal lobe dementia
Please connect with us via email and join us for an upcoming webinar for folks who are living with dementia. Perhaps we can help you build some strategies for communicating some of your needs to the future care partners.
That’s me I have Alzheimer’s diagnosed at 59 I have continue to be very physically active and use my brain and I am 10 years after diagnosis and Still doing well I say I am plateauing at each stage I compare it to a person who received a major head injury at a younger age and being able to re-train the brain to bring back functions. so the more I work at it I feel like I’m drawing from other parts of my brain to keep them working.
Hi, @Ozfanatic! Thanks for sharing your experience and I'm so glad that things are continuing to be ok for you. Thanks also for being a member of our RUclips Channel. We really appreciate you. Lastly, if you'd like to connect with others who are living well with dementia, check out this section of our website (teepasnow.com/resources/for-people-living-with-dementia/) and maybe join Teepa for a Let's Talk session (once a month).
Thank you Teepa I marked my calendar I’m just hope that I’ll be able to figure out the process to join in, is it done on zoom I just signed up for zoom to see if that is where we will be meeting. Thanks for all you do
I got suspicious and accusatory (thinking people were stealing) at 58. I did pharmacogenetic testing to find out what I couldn't process on a mitochondrial level and do daily coffee retention enemas plus take methylated B vitamins and a good omega 3. The genetics often go with food sensitivities or allergies and nutrional deficiencies. I've continued to improve cognition since then- it's been 5 years. I got into nursing because of my moms early dementia.
Good for you ❤❤❤
What teepas said means so much to me, my mums got dementia. But i dont know how much longer i can use her advice
Please feel free to connect with us via teepasnow.com if you would like to chat.
Man, this should be taught in elementary school.
It takes a defined professional to be able to explain in simple explicit terms what the defined professional does everyday. One more thing in 2020 : "wash your hands."
Excellent presentation thank you for your time.
Well I’m in it for the people who don’t have dementia! For those who stand in the gap especially those who are left to figure it out and persist with just the well wishing onlookers.
Just so you know, Ive unsubscribed because I’ve moved out of the situation. It nearly broke me. I feel very strongly that people with AD need round the clock professional nursing assistance. Their inner clocks are broken so 24 hour vigilance is necessary in some chronic situations. It was the constant threat of violence that pushed me out of my sisters home as a supportive presence, and the refusal of my niece to address her needs, adequately. Fear, selfishness, shame🤷🏽♀️IDK. Money was no object. Still, I am forever in your debt for what you taught me about how to help especially the humor. Now someone needs to help the helpers. 😢
Ms. Snow, i want to say thank you although it seems insufficient for how your experience & knowledge has changed how i communicate with my mom who is age 80. I hope you know the impact you have made in this world ❤
I have two close friends who have recently been diagnosed and you have helped my understanding so much. Thank you for allowing these to be easily accessable. You make a difference.
Hi, @Gillian Gjelsvik, so glad to hear that we've been able to help you understand. I'm wondering if you might like to connect your friends with us too as we have a number of resources/services for people living with dementia too (teepasnow.com/resources/for-people-living-with-dementia/) or you might want to check out our friends and family info (teepasnow.com/resources/for-families-and-friends/) too.
That seminar was well put Teepa. I'm so glad that I get to see your video to help out people that ask me questions Keep up the good work Teepa.
re: Synapses. 'Things that fire together, wire together'.
Wow she is a hero indeed.
I'm so happy you have advertisers to fund the good fight. No good deed goes unpunished, however, and I must note the irony of your "limbic system's (startle-response) role..." video and the fact I will never quite get back into the pace or immersion of its message again; thanks to being thrown all out of whack by Hill's Science Diet, Mint Mobile, et al. showing up in the middle of your point. My attention and focus are tenuous things these days, and the ads are a startle response, indeed. RUclips oughta mark the delivery of these interruptions better. Because once my attention's divided, ain't no hope of putting it back.
Hello, @throwingschade, I'm sorry that the RUclips Ads cause a startle response. We agree that RUclips should mark them better. We'll see if we can send that suggestion to them. We do appreciate you watching though and continuing through even after the startle response.
Totally different direction than I first thought, thank you for your great visuals.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Teepa...LOVE your lectures...learning a lot as I venture in this field helping my parents...love to be part of this network
Hey @Christina Teo Li Ching, we are so happy that you are enjoying being part of RUclips Community.

Thank you Snow love everything u do!
Absolutely amazing and fabulous. Love learning from Snow🥰
So glad! Thanks @Maria - we love learning together.
I'm so hooked on these videos. This is so helpful for me as a CNA. I'm going to utilize these techniques definitely. I'm already an empath so that comes naturally but I've mad the mistake of leaning and using that mommy voice. I'll never do that again.
Hey, @Mizz Croft Survives! So glad that you find these videos helpful. As a CNA, you might also want to check out some of the education offerings found on our professionals' section on our website (teepasnow.com/resources/for-professionals/) or if you would be interested in talking to someone about other resources that might enhance your work and those of your colleagues, please email info@teepasnow.com.
Superb info!
Thank you!
Thanks for the Good review tho, of the basic animal drives. We forget what we are. Limbic suppressed because higher brain is elegant and a tad effete.
thank you
Love to watch Mrs Teepa!
Thank you so much Mrs. Snow❤
I have been coming across your videos since yesterday February 22, 2023 and they are so informative.

Absolutely wonderful information!
Thank you 🙏
Our pleasure!
I used to be quietly irritated when l gave up my front on a bus for an elderly person, and they didn't even look at me.
Then l realised, they were concentrating so much couldn't "see me" and were legitimately pre occupied with the fact that the driver would illegally and jerkily take off before they were sitting down safely!
I was on crutches at the time, so l also realised pretty fast why the elderly are spooked by people walking or running to close to them, (the "worst offenders" are approx 9 y o for some reason)
It's not just emotional regulation, it's basic survival issues!
Thanks for sharing this story @Veronica Griffin and being a member of our channel!
Everything you describe I relate to, as an autistic person. So useful!
Hi, @Amanda Buckland, thanks for seeing the connection to your own situation and I'm glad that you find it useful.
Brilliant. Very helpful information.
Thanks!
You bet, @josemarrero6855!
I like to teach and study ASL Teepa does good impressions of physical signs to communicate, in Sign Language facial impressions are very important as well, I enjoy your seminars.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for all
Your videos - so very helpful and informative 🌸
You are so welcome @DebiGueron, Teepa has been at this a long time! Thanks for viewing, subscribing, and sharing Teepa's message far and wide!
excellent Teepa. My Pa had ALZ and Ma had vascular dementia. Both passed now. But I wish my brothers and I had this information. You are a bright light in your passion. Thank you so much.
Hi, @Paul W. Smith, thanks for commenting and we are sorry for your losses. Maybe you didn't have the information, but you did what you could with what you knew. I'm wondering if you would consider passing on this information to those you know who might need it.

I am trying to educate myself on how to be around her and help her going forward.

Amazing content.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
So much of what you talk about clarifies the difficulties that autistic individuals with sensory processing disorders may be experiencing.
Although unrelated it's interesting to see how many symptoms and behaviors that dementia and autism have in common
Hi, @Lois Roh! We so appreciate that you found a connection between dementia and other neurodegenerative issues (like austism). There are many similiaties for sure.
Smart lady
I’m NOT a caregiver BUT in the “beyond the intimate space” where does the back fall? It’s in the area BUT your hand couldn’t reach it.
Hi, @Devorah Linford, I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, but if you are talking about whether the person with brain change is aware of touch or movement on their back the answer is sometimes. We would love to discuss this in more detail with you, please reach out to consult@teepasnow.com or call us 1-877-877-1671
@@teepasnowvideos that was what I was trying to ask! Thank you!
Would love to hear you say something about people who speak two languages. Seems the two get mixed up. Sometimes one only goes.
So very true. As people age, they use less of the second language and tend to rely on their native tongue.
This lovely,lady is why wished i had of went too university 😑
Hi @Sharon Magee, even if you didn't go to university, you can continue to learn. If you'd like to know more, please visit www.teepasnow.com or maybe check out Teepa on TikTok for short lessons (www.tiktok.com/@teepasnow)
It's amazing what you can access for free on RUclips these days! Free lectures from universities all over the world. Some of them far better quality than actual lectures I have sat through at university. Don't be discouraged! Anyone who is curious these days can learn 💖

Buenas tardes. Se los agradezco mucho
I did actually write down my likes and dislikes some years ago, but ended with the sentence: what if everything is the other way round and I suddenly hate marmalade and love oysters?
Could that happen? After binge-watching these videos, I understand that wouldn't happen.
Anyway, I'd better go back and read that letter; things might have changed in the last ten years since I wrote it.
Hi, @Medival LadyBird, writing down your likes and dislikes and reviewing them is a great idea. Your tastes may change if dementia comes into the picture as everything changes when there are changes to our brains. Glad that you are going to review things. Thanks for sharing!

Teepa I have enjoyed so much information from listening to your videos. Thank you. My dad, his sister. My grandma had dementia. My cousin now has it. I am the oldest sister of 6 and am 66. It is 2023 so far so good. I feel it is just waiting to attack.

Does everyone else sense that Teepa has experienced all types of situations with patients? 😊
Hi, @Luanna Strickland, as a member of Teepa's team, I tend to agree with you. She has definitely experienced a lot of situations, but I also think that she is very good at reading people and situations very quickly as well. Thanks for commenting!
AMAZING WOMEN !
Question: If pain is a factor (physical or mental/emotional)
How damaging or more damaging for someone that is widowed and has never been & still isn't a touch Feely or huggy type person & neither is she an open heart&arms wide open kind of mother. If not a touchy person I would think the the whole my space your space thing could really freak them out, but if they are loving is that characteristic Also lost? Does it create more of a likelihood that the failure to thrive will happen?
And the effects of dementia with regards to those with hearing loss & nearsightedness?
Are they more likely to sink into themselves?
Hi, @theres kent, you raise a lot of good questions. I'm going to say that it depends. So much of how a person reacts/responds is dependent upon who they are/were and how we connect as care partners. I'm wondering if you might be interested in reaching out to one of our team to talk through these questions in more detail. Please call 1-877-877-1671 or email consult@teepasnow.com
my aunt has dementia an I don't know what stage she is do u have a video that could help me
Hey, if I were you I think I would drink up all the Teepa Snow training video's, like this one. Her knowledge from years of experience shines through. Then I would try out her way of approaching and helping and discover through your own experience what works for you and for your aunt. Hope this helps.
Hey Kenyatta, thank you for sharing - here is a link to get you started: teepasnow.com/resources/teepa-tips-videos/teepas-gems/

I'm 74 years old. Retired nurse and my daughter is a nurse. I am a realist. Growing old is not fun for me. As time passes, i become more limited in what i can do. I told my daughter that i want to be put in a wheelchair and pushed off a cliff. I don't want to end up in a nursing home.
Hi, @Marilyn B, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It sounds like you know how you want to leave this world - still in control.
I don't think family should care for their elderly demented parent, it will literally kill them
Feel free to connect with us via the website if you would like to chat or learn more about some of the things we try to make life better for folks living with dementia and their care partners.
How can I stop my moms daily crying jags? It always starts over something such as my dad not being able to drive anymore (she believes it’s the end of the world and they are in jail now) and devolves into hours.
