- From June 12, 2012 Teepa Snow spoke to the Alzheimer's Support Network in Naples, Florida about Making Visits Valuable. In this segment, Teepa talks about the Big Mistake: The Promise never to put your love one in a nursing home. She will tell us why it is a mistake and what to say instead.
What do you say when your love one says: "Take me home!" Why are they really saying that?
When things go missing, how to you react? Why does the Alzheimer's patient hide things? How can I cope with this?

This woman is amazing, she is totally perfect, she is so knowledgeable, so humane, so truthful. Ah, my poor Mum. Thank you Teepa Snow
Ty..ty..ty.. sitting here crying...for the loss of a parent..but clearly understanding your knowledge and message...
Like your style, Teepa
Dimentia care needs more people like you
After hearing the heartbreaking conversation my dad had with my mom, who wants to go home, I was glad I could help coach him to a reasonable resolution. She hadn’t wanted to go to the house with “that man” when talking to the sheriff...
My dad was able to resolve the situation with saying he’d call back. Of course, the nurse may have to help her consider that a misunderstanding may have occurred, between pm and am, if she remembers tomorrow.
I see I may also need skills to defer the going home issue - overnights may be difficult...
i used to hide my nan's stuff she had lost in her seat then when she found it say 'you silly sausage you were sitting on it all along' and she would then say sorry to the person without being asked. she always used to loss stuff by sitting on it before she had dementia so i think that's why it worked so well. love these uploads ^_^ xx
You're awesome with the BEAUTY OF CARING. Thank you for all of your vibrations and touch and goes.
i just want to cry when I see this Teepa Snow vid. How, as a helper, can I really help?
Mum wanted to go home so we had a cuppa and looked at photos to distract or go for a walk and then we both felt better but its v.hard xxxx
Bravoo Teepa and thank you so much for sharing, be blessed.
My father's journey with this disease just recently ended. From the time he was diagnosed, I never made the promise that I would never put him into a facility. During the first phases of the disease, he was one of the ones who said, "I want to go home." My response was, "Where's home, Dad?" and he would tell me. It was a strong indicator as to where he was that particular day.
That reminds me of when you promised to stay in a relationship and be together forever… got to stop doing that! Thank you again to everyone involved in making these. It’s amazing, I’m in England and in theory shouldn’t have found this but I did! It’s weird, I’ve been binge watching because this applies to so many illnesses and diseases of the brain and the mind. You must have helped thousands of people inadvertently, too. Take care ! Xxxx
Teepa's materials are fantastic. This is no exception. Also check out Senion Gems DVD at Senior Helpers. One complementary or $2/copy. I just ordered a bunch to use with our residents' families and our staff.
