Episode notes

Hey Care Partners,

Enjoy this podcast where you will learn to observe your person living with dementia and determine in every moment if they have awareness of their memory loss or if they are in a state of complete denial and believe they are just fine.

Teepa Snow taught me about Anosognosia and I was completely surprised that in all my experience as a nurse, I had never heard of it.

In this podcast you will learn about the value of identifying their awareness of their memory loss every time you are together so you can better serve their needs. If they are back in time, you will need to join them there, and if they are tracking with you, even better.

Be a great detective and not a judge in order to serve them to the best of your ability and maintain a great relationship.

You Got This!

Teresa
