It IS possible to reduce your risk for dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, lewy body dementia, etc. A 2021 study based out of Japan showed that older adults who had emotional loneliness were 60% more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease within 5 years compared to those who were not lonely.

2022/12/31

Most people who care for someone with dementia like Alzheimer’s disease never think about this when they think about dementia care planning- how do YOU want to show up in caregiving. We sometimes just wait to see what the person with dementia does, or how the day unfolds to decide how we want to respond or how we will show up. Instead, you can decide on the type of person you want to be in caregiving and then work on showing up as that person during your caregiving journey. No, it’s not easy - but

What To Do About Denial

Dementia Careblazers ·

2022/12/01

Many people with dementia look like they have denial when they actually have something called anonosognosia. Anosognosia means total lack of awareness and it means that there is no amount of evidence, convincing, or reasonsing that will ever get them to understand that they have cognitive limitations. When you try to point out how they need help, it often makes things worse. In today's episode, I talk about what you can do when someone with dementia seems to be in "denial" and you need them to

Dementia Careblazers ·

2022/11/10

Neuropsychological testing is a series of tests designed to determine how somebody's brain functions across the different regions of the brain. Different types of dementia present differently. Determining how a person responds to different questions can help family members care for and interact with their loved ones more effectively and offer insight for future planning.

Dementia Don’ts

Dementia Careblazers ·

2022/11/03

Did you know there are 3 things you should never do with your loved one with dementia?
