Welcome to Episode 76 of The Alzheimer’s Podcast – Your #1 source for practical tips and insights.

I’m Mike Good of Together in This

My goal is always to empower you and your family to maintain a positive experience, reduce and eliminate the need for unnecessary medications, and make your time together with those you care for, the best it can be.

When we think of dementia, we usually focus on memory loss, confusion, and the need to make sure our person stays safe.

We may overlook more subtle changes in our person, like an increased need for time to process information and more explanation about people and situations that used to be familiar.

The net result is they can start feeling like they don’t belong in a situation, they’re being ignored, and worse, they just don’t matter anymore.

In this episode of Navigating Rough Terrain with the Dementia Sherpa, Christy and I discuss how those feelings can lead to a change in usual mood, plus little tweaks with big impact care partners can make to ensure your person feels included and valued.
