When a loved one living with dementia becomes anxious, asks for a deceased spouse, or resists shower time, immediate factual corrections often lead to heartbreak and frustration. How can family caregivers navigate these complex moments with empathy instead of conflict?
In this episode of Insights on Aging, host Steve Lorberbaum sits down with world-renowned dementia education specialist Teepa Snow (founder of Positive Approach to Care®) for an honest, jargon-free conversation on shifting your caregiving mindset from correction to curiosity.
Teepa Snow is an Occupational Therapist with over 40 years of clinical experience and the founder of Positive Approach to Care®. Her practical, brain-science-backed techniques have transformed dementia care for millions of families and professionals worldwide.
Steve Lorberbaum is a dedicated caregiving advocate and the owner of Assisting Hands Homecare in Potomac, Maryland, helping families bridge the gap between uncertainty and empowerment.
