Welcome to Dementia Care Hub where I share weekly videos with tips and strategies that you can use right away to make caring for a loved one with dementia easier.
I’m Dr. Kristen Galloway, a licensed occupational therapist and Dementia Care Specialist. I own a private practice Florida where I help individuals with dementia remain independent and safe in their homes for as long as possible. I also provide caregiver training to make caregiving easier and less stressful for family caregivers.
I created Dementia Care Hub when I saw that there were so many family caregivers who were overwhelmed and struggling to find resources to make caregiving simpler.
I hope you find my videos useful. Feel free to comment with suggestions for future video topics. Thanks for all you do as caregivers! It takes a lot of love, compassion, strength, and effort to provide care for someone with dementia. Hats off to you!

I never thought of watching Mom play with Play Doh. I wonder if she would? It is a mixed feeling that u r seeing your authority figure when you were once playing with toys, now having arthritic digits challenged by such a simple item in silence.
Playdough is nice because it's inexpensive, non-toxic, and doesn't make a mess. You could also use modeling clay, therapy putty, or homemade pizza or bread dough. I am always careful when I use "toys" so the person does not feel they are being treated like a child.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
@@dementiacarehubThank you for the insight, Dr.

I was playing the piano for my patient but daughter said no. Said that it's exacerbated hid hydrocephalus. I've never heard of nonsense like that in my life. But hey, she's the boss.
Pity. The patient loved the music more than the TV programs that he can't see bc he's blind.
