- Teepa Snow is a leading educator on dementia and on care for persons living with dementia. Her extensive experience as a caregiver, occupational therapist, and intrepid solution seeker brings a unique approach to caring for those with dementia.
Love this woman’s passion and knowledge! Wish I had known about her when I took care of my Mum over 10 years ago, but I’m doing everything I can to share her wisdom. May God bless her and all who care enough to learn and change for the benefit of their loved ones.
🙏🏻💗
I found Teepa Snow online shortly after my Mom's neurologist gave her a diagnosis of dementia. What I learned was tremendously helpful in my understanding of what my mom was experiencing, and that in turn eased some of the tensions in our relationship. Mom passed away 7 years ago; she had lost most recall of her earliest memories by that time, and I was no longer known by her as her daughter but ad one of her "people". I have done PAC In Service training with the agency I am employed by which has offered me an even greater understanding of the phases our loved ones go through on this journey with dementia. I will be ever grateful for the insights shared by Teepa Snow, and how they benefit families struggling to care for loved ones with dementia.
Such a blessing to have Ms. Snow's expertise to guide us! Her videos have been a HUGE help.
On the 8th day God gave us Teepa Snow! And we are grateful.
I love this lady I wish I could get everyone to understand what she tries to teach caregivers
Teepa, this is a lot for me to take in but I rewatch and rewatch your presentations. I am 76 years old and my husband is 78, he has Vascular Dementia. I am struggling with communication with him, I am learning through your videos to communicate with him differently. I appreciate that your there, I do have missing pieces to this puzzle but I am trying your methods, trying to help my husband. Thank you for your help.
I had a very bad incident happen to my Dad, he was struck by a caregiver. His Teddy bear who he thought was real. He loved the Teddy bear, and he had to watch his Teddy bear being mutilated . I used too be a care giver for dementia patients I followed guide lines to deal with patients. When Dad was abused I told the director of Nurse’s that the employees need to watch Teepa Snow. Since they call themselves a dementia center. It was obvious they needed too learn. The Director said I believe in that, and will implement new training. But it was never followed thru. My daughter was actually working there, she was upset at how her Grandpa was treated. She really cared, but this place did everything wrong. They hire young people with no training off the street. My Dad had a nice room. He was moved from his room, so they could showcase his room for potential new comers. He no longer had his own bathroom. They told him he could use 2 common bathrooms. But then they locked the doors. Then they gave him a portable potty, which didn’t make sense too him. They were supposed to keep his feet elevated but didn’t. He has prior history of pulmonary embolisms. His feet swelled so they increased his dietetics which made him have to urinate more. The director asked me why, why is your Dad urinating on the floor. I tried to explain you moved his room which had a bathroom too one which didn’t, then u didn’t keep his feet up, when sitting in chair. You doubled his dosage of diuretics and said he could use common bathroom, then locked the doors. It went from that too him getting hit by care giver, too his Teddy bear, who he loves getting completely shredded and beat in front of him. You never implemented training for treatment of dementia. I’m so torn up about this! We moved him too another facility. But this should never have happened! I need advice Plez respond Teepa!!!!!!!!
Great videos from Teepa on the skills to use with our loved ones who have dementia. Thank you so much.
Life changing skills PAC offers, thank you
I can’t say enough about your mission and goal . You are amazing and a gift to the dementia world . I am learning so much from you . I look forward to learning more through your PAC program . Thank Teepa. Excellent presentation.
This is HUGE! I've taken care of both of my parents through their aging and deaths. Neither had dementia, but I work with seniors. I love seniors and people in general. It breaks my heart to think about the experience of the people I work with. Teepa is giving me skills to love and care for people more effectively and I am so grateful. To help and minister to people's needs without being blunt and uncaring.
Teepa Snow is a rock star!! I wish I'd known about her when I was the caregiver. When she said "tell me about it" just now, it brought tears to my eyes.
Teepa is Phenomenal.
THANK You Teepa,🙌🙌🙌💖🕊😇👣🕊💖😇✌👍🙏Yes a HUGE CIVIL Rights issue!!!!!! Why I changed to home health care.TadahhhAA, I'm committed 🕊💖✌ TaadahhhhAAAAA💖🕊✌
You are amazing. More than amazing. I currently have no one in my family with dementia, but of course I may have in the future. I think only you are the advocate first and foremost for the person with dementia and then you help carers make their final years comfortable and happy. Thank you a thousand times over.
Teepa you made me cry; You are so on it; I often feel so alone on this journey; and my own journey with metastic breast cancer has taken a back seat; YOU ARE AMAZING; I feel you are talking directly to me.
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for your teachings and insight - My mum is going through mild/severe vascular Dementia and your talks have enabled me and my sister to cope with the debilitating disease she has - Sending you lots of love 🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is absolutely phenomenal!!!!! Teepa - thank you for what you do and how you do it! EVERYONE needs to hear this and have their own TA-DA moment!
I kept wanting my mom to stop forgetting and kept reminding myself she couldn't. I wish I had heard this before. I was also taking care of my husband who had cancer and giving him dialysis and treating leg wounds.
I pray your voice was heard with the new changes in build back better w home care aids and services to support demetia. You are a hero! Thank you for supporting me while I supported my mother.
Ty so much for this information . You are a blessing & helping me tremendously. 🙏🏽
Thank you Teepa!
We need someone, like you, to TEACH us how to handle these behaviors.
My wife had aphasia and dementia at the same time and half of what you teach did not DIRECTLY apply because my wife could not verbalize what she was thinking.
It made my work harder, and so I tried harder to understand and cope with these issues.
I dealt with it for 4 months then placed her in a facility for 2 months when she died.
Mental decline for 4 months then 2 months of physical decline. Then DEATH/PEACE.
Thank you
Stop expecting him to live in my world, I must learn to live in his.
love your show but how do I get 24hr care for my mom if she keep telling the social worker she don't want any care and they are actually listening to her
Teepa Snow were was you 15 yrs ago as I struggled in the nursing home as a CNA caregiver, not knowing nothing about this horrible disease.
Is it ture if people are nice get anger or anger get nice . I have seen this happen
Anyone could get angry or upset if they get scared. Forgetting who you are and who you’re surrounded by is a scary position to be in. Delusions can make someone think their own daughter is trying to steal the family silver, and of course if you truly believed that to be the case I think you wouldn’t be very nice either…
