What if we looked at dementia differently?
On this special episode of Around the Table With Vickie, Vickie is joined by internationally recognized dementia educator Teepa Snow, whose Positive Approach to Care has helped transform the way families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals understand Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Teepa shares her insight into the changing brain, the importance of understanding what abilities remain, and how caregivers can respond with greater patience, dignity, and compassion.
The conversation also explores Teepa’s GEMS Brain Change model, dementia care, communication, safety, caregiver challenges, family dynamics, and the importance of seeing the person rather than simply seeing the diagnosis. Runk & Pratt has incorporated Teepa’s approach into its memory care communities, helping caregivers better understand the people they serve and create environments where residents can continue to experience connection, purpose, and dignity.
Whether you are caring for a loved one, working in senior care, or simply want to better understand dementia, this conversation offers practical insight and a completely different perspective on the dementia journey.
