I’m a nurse supervisor at a nursing home. We get almost no training in caring for those with dementia. We really should be experts in dementia-that should be something we offer to the community. Watching these videos are immensely helpful.
Hi, @Michelle, so glad that you find these videos immensely helpful. If you'd like to learn more about how our team could help train those who work with you, please check out this section (teepasnow.com/dementia-education-for-organizations-overview/) on our website or call us at 1-877-877-1671 to learn more.

First , I love your videos,.. I work at Senior Helpers in Az with Tiffany and Shaun . I Started in Portland , Oregon with Norm H.,.
My question is , I have a new female client that just started having
I don't have or know anyone who has dementia but hervideos are fascinating. Teepa is an amazing therapist and teacher. Talk about thinking outside the box...she really breaks down the problems.
Hey, @Tara Drolma, we are glad to hear that you find our information helpful. Glad to hear that you are learning things about dementia even before you are seeing it in any of your community. If you'd like to know more, please take a moment to check out our website: www.teepasnow.com or see what Teepa is doing these days on TikTok (www.tiktok.com/@teepasnow?)
I am a care giver; I really like Teepa's advice not to ask them "Do you remember? but instead say, I was thinking..." and also never ask them "Do you want to go to the bathroom or...? because they will always answer with a NO. Its better to give them an opportunity to make a choice rather than asking or telling them what to do. I've learned a lot from these videos. Thanks
Glad to hear that you have learned a lot, @MonaLiza Smith! If you'd like to know more, please visit www.teepasnow.com to our channel (ruclips.net/channel/UCSXrEX7LkWOmfTaV6u1C7wQ).

Our pleasure!
God Bless you all; every time I listen to you all I learn so much. I have metastatic cancer and have not been able to continue treatments because I do not feel leaving my mother alone is safe. She has been diagnoses with onset Dementia
Wow Araceli..I am so glad that we are able to help. For further support and resources please check out these links:

Awesome!
Feel very much for the Robin situation. Here, I was forced to abandon my mother against my will and wishes due to my cancer and after cancer treatment long term side effects plus alpha and broken promises of help to come back. My mother had calls from me every day via wifi calls several times a a day for six months plus when she landed in long term care due to car accident and broken hip, and heart attack. When I was able to go h9me and offers of help to be driven u0 by my uncle, my step mother intervened and blocked help from my father. I’m broke but would have been able to give love to my mother. It’s an anguish not to be there.
Wow, @Gale Espressos it sounds like it has been a really hard time for you and your family. Thanks for sharing your story. If you'd like to speak with someone about the situation for yourself, consider talking to one of our consultant's.

It is stopping us from going forward and causing tons of problems for my dad! Ughhhhhhhhhh can someone tell me where teepa goes for coffee or something..... I'll take a flight!! Haha she is the only one that I've seen be able to answer anything! HELPPPPP! P.s. I'm joking Teepa i wont stalk you! But if you happen to be around Massachusetts please come stalk me😫🤣🤣 good info people! Thanks

Yes, pushing, not pulling! Thanks, as Mom hikes her pants up when I ask her to pull her pants down at the commode. And, then she has two other problems. She is very, very mobile and gets herself to the commode, but sits only half way on it. Handrails helped tremendously to correct her from sitting on the commode sideways, but now she won’t sit back over the opening. So, we end up mopping the floor and often changing her shoes and pants too as she insists on pushing them all the way to the floor. And then problem two -she picks the fluff out of the pull up because it is too bulky. She “just wants underwear.” Yet, many times she uses the pull up, so it is very helpful at least once a day. We’ve been through many brands, and that doesn’t seem to matter. Her logic defies logic! Her nursing home can’t keep up with mopping the bathroom floor after she pees on it, so her room smells like a zoo. Often times, after she independently uses the commode, she tears off the pull up and goes commando, no under clothes. Then, accidents are no longer in the bathroom! Oops.
How do I insist on a timing schedule for Mom-after meals is definitely when she needs to go? Do I ask for this in her care plan?

My wife was diagnosed with Parkinsons dementia back in april of this year. She has had PD since late 2016. I've noticed her sitting on usually the right side of her chair/ stool. She also puts peanut butter and preserves on her english muffin more on the left side than the right. it usually falls off in her hand. This I have only recently noticed in the past month or so. I never comment on it other than provide a paper towel or wash cloth before she gets up. I assume this is common among people with her illness.
Hi, @Larry Bohanan, thanks for doing so much for your wife. I'm sure she appreciates it. As to what she is experiencing, you might want to take a look at this video (teepasnow.com/search/?search=parkinson) or connect with us 1-877-877-1671 to talk through some things.
I’m friends with a lady and one of her Parkinson’s medicines does make her hum. And she doesn’t like it either!! She would comment or apologize that she couldn’t help it. Just a thought … even though this comment is 2 yrs later!
Thanks for commenting @kimber5566, even if it is 2 yrs later! It's good to know that people are watching these long after they've been produced.

Hey Marta, thanks for reaching out and your kind words. I'm sorry it has taken us so long to respond to you, but I hope things have been going well. If you didn't know, Teepa has recently gone viral on TikTok if you'd want to check her out over there, too!
What is the appropriate staffing ratio in a memory care facility?
Hey @xiixiixo, it's Dan from Teepa's team. I'm sorry for the delay in responding to you. I just started looking through the comments and then wanted to talk to Teepa :) Unfortunately, there isn't a simple answer. The honest answer is that it needs to be more than what most of the guidelines currently state. So many of them are counting people that aren't actually providing engagement and care. Things that need to be taken into account are the types of dementia, the personality traits of both the residents and staff, support and engagement training, and more. Unfortunately, most of what is taken into account is the bottom line.
As with anything, the better trained and more motivated the staff, the role becomes easier. When you partner in care and provide a functional, familiar, friendly, and forgiving environment for everyone, it becomes easier. The focus needs to be on the residents and their needs, likes, and wants instead of seeing them as tasks to check off on a list.
Sorry, I know this response is long, but I didn't say it wasn't an easy answer :) If you'd like to talk to Teepa about this, she does offer private consultations for both families and organizations. You can check it out here: teepasnow.com/product/private-virtual-consultation-with-teepa/
Teepa, what makes you think , that even if she tells her mom all the things... will her mom understand... Moderate dementia means that she is less likely to understand ... doesn't it? Its ok to have all these suggestions, but we are taking about a person with dementia...
Hi, @Pamela Riley, thanks for sharing your thoughts. We here at Positive Approach feel that even though it might not be that a person understands less, but maybe that we need to let them process things (meaning slow down our communication) in their time. As a member of Teepa's team (this is Shelly responding), I think many of us make assumptions that we may want to rethink when interacting with someone living with dementia. If you want to discuss more, please reach out to us 1-877-877-1671 or consult@teepasnow.com
Maybe treat the incontinent product as if it's regular underwear
Great suggestion @Rhonda Carter! Thanks for sharing.
@@teepasnowvideos My dad uses them with his underwear, he's the one that calls them his diapers
The SNF is 100% correct when they blame Robin!! Hello? Why are you being so crazy here.
Hi, @Tami Higgs, as I mentioned in an earlier response, we'd love to talk with you more about what you are thinking/feeling about this event. Please reach out to us at consult@teepasnow.com or 1-877-877-1671.
Covid was horrible for those in facilities
Hello, @Lorri Hager, yes Covid was hard in many places.
So one CNA for every 40 patient/resident is what you call trained staff? And even less RN/LPN for every resident? ALFs the very best on a great day when staffing is like Mayberry and all is perfect is one caregiver that’s not even a CNA just a somebody off the street that they are paying less money per hour than McDonalds workers and Walmart workers are making? Plus these people have t care for not only the residents but cook all 3 meals and do all the cleaning, and laundry!!!, don’t feed the public bullshit! I wonder if Teepas brain is failing?
Hello, @Tami Higgs, I'm sorry that you feel Teepa is not answering the question here. It is so trye that most ALFs are not doing all that they can. Maybe we all need to figure out ways to change them to make them better. We would be very interested in talking with you more. Please reach out to us at consult@teepasnow.com
Our horses and cows get treated better than elderly in a facility. There is no abuse like that in a facility. Teepa is very wrong here
Thanks for sharing your opinion, @Tami Higgs. Please connect with us to discuss in more detail. Consult@teepasnow.com or info@teepasnow.com
I don't like all the head squeezing and stuff .
Hi, @today1more2, can you tell me more about what you mean with this statement? We'd love to connect, so please reach out to us at info@teepasnow.com or call 1-877-877-1671.
@teepasnowvideos I guess I'm just slow with the sign language. I'm sure there's a good reason, and I still watch.
