Hello Care Partners, • Today we are going back to the basics for families and caregivers new to Dementia and Brain Change. It can be challenging to understand why they do what they do and I only wish someone would have been there to pull me aside with some great tips and techniques to keep the peace with my Mom. • Sadly, I thought I understood Dementia because I was a seasoned RN, but soon found out that I was wrong. Mom threw me out of the house and made it clear I needed more training. • Today, we will review what it means to have Dementia and explain some way so come along side and join them on their journey with Brain Change. I hope you enjoy this podcast and you will share it with someone who needs more information. • Subscribe to us on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/78w36us... • YouTube: / @teresayoungstrom • LinkedIn: / teresayoungstrom-881bb494 • 𝕏: / better_approach • Who am I? • Teresa is a seasoned Registered Nurse with almost 40 years of clinical and leadership experience.
