As it turns out, remembering who someone is and recognizing music that we heard long ago are two different types of skills. Recognizing music is different because it tends to have powerful emotions associated with them depending on what was going on in our lives when we first heard them. Another difference is that listening to music offers more of an opportunity to engage with it, as compared to staring at someone while you try to remember who they are. Join us this week as Teepa and Greg discuss how we can use music with our person living with dementia.

In addition to changing the wording from “normal” to “typical” aging, Teepa discusses how knowing a person’s history can be just as important as anything else when trying to spot a shift in their abilities. For example, some of us have never been good at directions, so does a change in our way-finding ability actually seem atypical? Join us this week and Teepa and Greg discuss.

Are you familiar with the term, "feeders"? Why is this a term that we need to move away from? One reason is the term itself gives the idea of someone that cannot eat themselves (e.g. a baby). A person that is living with dementia does lose skill as the condition progresses, but with the right support, we can help them to use the muscle memory they've built over a lifetime and participate in the process.

It's our reaction to them that does. There has been mixed reactions to this statement that Teepa made a while back, some being positive while others not so positive. Why? One reason could be that family members are trying to process their grief of losing someone as they used to know them. So how can we get a little curious and learn how we to treat every person that is living with dementia as a whole human being, despite their brain changes? Join us this week as Teepa and Greg discuss.

No not that talk, we're referring to the talk about what changes you and your family will make should dementia ever into the picture. In reality, only 5 to 10% of families have conversations about dementia that don't just involve end-of-life planning or inheritances. Join us this week and learn how we approach "the talk" with our families can make the difference between successful planing, or not.

You would be excused in thinking that moving a loved one into a long-term care facility would negate any potential feelings of loneliness on their end. But if we dig a little deeper and realize what a move like that entails, we find that losing a once stable environment, a circle of friends, and even daily habits built over time can have some unexpected results. That’s why in this episode, Teepa and Greg discuss what factors we can change or manage that can help make a transition better for both sides.

Unless we have a plan set in place to provide better care and support ahead of time, does it really help to know what potential early markers of dementia we may or may not have? As of yet, there is no cure for dementia and we cannot turn back the hands of time to fix past behavior. So our path forward should be to increase our awareness and skills and to build a support network where no one care partner runs the risk of burning out. To this end, that's why we offer free 30-minute consultations that can give you a great starting point. Connect with us at consult@teepasnow.com.

What does a broken car engine part have in common with our brain? More than we think if we’re talking about a form of dementia that affects our frontotemporal area.
