From Caregiver to Care Partner: Rethinking Dementia Support with Teepa Snow
What if supporting someone with dementia wasn’t about fixing, but connecting?
Caring for someone with dementia can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to mean losing connection or dignity. In this powerful episode, Teepa Snow shares how to shift from “caregiving” to “care partnering” and reveals practical, relationship-based strategies for navigating brain change with empathy and skill.
In this episode, you will:
- Discover the P.I.P.E.S. framework and how it can improve communication and care
- Learn why shifting your mindset from caregiver to care partner transforms the entire experience
- Gain practical tools to preserve dignity, reduce conflict, and foster meaningful moments, even in late-stage dementia
Press play to reimagine dementia care with compassion, connection, and confidence—no matter where you are on the journey.
