Wow! Gracias everybody
Our pleasure!
I even, everyone I see is overwhelmed by how many card choices there are now.
This video flickers through a large part of it. Just video problem, audio ok.
This works for me and for others, even if they're not someone with dementia. I can totally see how I can get _with_ people at a high-emotional, non-verbal place.
Hi, @LynnP, nice noticing! As a member of Teepa's team, I can concure that Teepa's techniques work with everyone, not just those affected by brain change!

There are no confining walls outside...
I have a question: how do you deal with consistent paranoia in a dementia patient?
For me, depending on how the resident is about the paranoia...sometimes I go along with it. I have one resident who often thinks she has all these theories about people taking her stuff and thinking she does not know and how she has all these tips and tricks (none of these are true) but, i go along with it agree that they are crazy not to think she knows what is going on. It helps her feel good about herself and i wont talk her out of it anyway
Hi, @Jordan Shepetofsky, Sorry we haven't answer your question sooner, but as @Live Laugh Lesbian said going with the person in the beginning helps to connect with them and feel that they are being heard. Once connected, we would then offer another topic (substitute) to move them on to something else. If you still have questions today, please reach out to info@teepasnow.com
When working with very low function residents how can you create a activities that give them meaning and purpose
What types of things can you offer them
Hey Tammy, please connect with us over email so that we can get some more info and get you connected to some resources.

Hi, @Deniese Kline-Thatcher, you ask an interesting question. I would suggest having a conversation with the spouse or maybe passing some of our video content on to them so that they can learn more for themselves. Have them visit www.teepasnow.com or contact us at consult@teepasnow.com for a free 30-minute consultation with one of our team members to help you plan the conversation.
I have a question for Teepa. My mother presents almost all the signs of dementia. She is 85 and has lived with my brother for the past 10 years. Within the last week or two she started failing to recognize him as her son. She knows she has a son named Willie, an asks where he is. Then, when he or anyone else present attempts to tell her HE is her son she gets agitated and will not believe us. She has no trouble recognizing me when I go see her, which is about once every two weeks. Is it normal for a dementia sufferer to recognize everyone except the person with whom they have lived?
Sharon Ming My grandmother was convinced my dad was her deceased husband. I work as an Alzheimer's advocate (29 yrs) and see this often. Not specific to just who they live with but many loved ones. As their memory fails it's often causes them to not recognize others. I am sorry your mom is on this difficult journey. It sounds like she has some awesome kids loving her!
Hey Sharon, that's a great question! Connect with us over email so that we provide an answer for you. We would like to get some more info from you - the answer can vary depending on the people involved.
Can I suggest a "maybe"? .. If you have a photo of him as a Child... show her that .. see if she recognizes the boy in the photo . by name & relation. Then .. I guess I've no 'then' it would likely depend on her response...
Much love to you all ..
This is a good idea of something to try - it may spark some memories that you can explore with her. If she is lost in time, she may not respond well to the fact that this little boy is grown now and the reality orientation may cause some confusion or distress - in which case, we "go with the flow" and meet here where she is - in the time setting that she thinks she is in.
I have a mother, who has sadly died now. My experience which is similar is this. I'm her youngest son of four children but probably the closest. In her later years, she would refer to me as her husband, who died some 25 years earlier. That is if I wasn't there or had disappeared she would perhaps say to others - where has Pete gone? Pete is her deceased husband. I'm still not quite sure who she actually saw me as. Watching Teepa is so enlightening and with hindsight, the more one can learn the more able one can help loved ones.
Meaning, I understand that you're not supposed to argue with a dementia patient, but do you give in to his/her paranoia?
Hi, @Jordan Shepetofsky, see our response below or above to your other question here.
My husband refuses to watch training you do to learn about my dementia. He said if he thinks about it he doesn’t sleep so he said it’s not good for his health. But he wants to be my caregiver. I don’t see that working out. He’s short tempered. Now what do I do.
Hey Peggy, Do you have someone else that might be willing to partner with him and support him in the care that he gives? You could also consider connecting with a skilled care manager that could help him through the journey. Please reach out to us if you would like to discuss some options. We would need to understand things in greater detail but are happy to help you try some things.
Teepa Snow's Positive Approach to Care , our daughters say they will help him but he won’t ask for help. It’s a pride thing. So I will have a lot of work and planning my care for myself. Alzheimer.org will be tired of hearing from me. Lol. It’s all I can do.
email me and i can at least connect you with some resources that might be helpful (corriep at teepasnow.com)
