I think, in order to really fully understand what's happening with someone with dementia, you have to have at least an overview of how your brain functions, which you know- the neurons and the connections- and then what's being changed because of dementia.
Ever wondered what it's like to work closely with dementia patients? Pete Hill, the host of The 'D' Word podcast on UK Health Radio, offers a heartfelt glimpse into this challenging yet rewarding world. In this episode, Pete chats with Katya De Louisa, a dedicated dementia educator and author making waves in Costa Rica. Together, they dive into the intricacies of dementia care and the hurdles of spreading awareness in rural areas.
Pete shares his hands-on experiences and highlights the importance of understanding the science behind dementia. He also sheds light on the emotional rollercoaster that caregivers and patients go through, emphasizing the need for empathy and creative communication methods like therapeutic arts and picture communication techniques. This episode isn't just about facts; it's a call to action for more compassion and support for those affected by dementia.
Whether you're a caregiver, a family member, or someone looking to understand more about this condition, Pete's insights offer valuable perspectives and practical advice. Tune in to be part of this crucial conversation and learn how you can make a difference.
