The Alzheimer’s Podcast:
Navigating Rough Terrain with the Dementia Sherpa
Welcome to Episode 77 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.
Depending on the type or cause of dementia, we could be looking at sudden changes, or a slow, gradual, steady progression. Either way, we need to recognize and navigate through those transitions.
And that’s when we often start feeling overwhelmed and stuck, and our mindset goes south.
In this episode of Navigating Rough Terrain with the Dementia Sherpa, Christy and I discuss positive strategies, emphasize the importance of our mindset, and Christy even shares how thinking about wedding planning can help (seriously!).
