Christy Turner is an expert on dementia, a frequent speaker, and a dementia consultant. In fact, they call her the Dementia Sherpa. So this week, we discussed how the disease of dementia affects the brain -- it is much more than memory loss. Christy explained how families can work with a loved one who has dementia. She shared tips on how to make it “easier” rather than fighting it, such as techniques for communicating with the person who is struggling with dementia. Christy also spoke about non-pharmacological behavior management techniques. Don’t miss this show!
