In this episode of The Dementia Collective, Andrew Karesa discusses the profound impact of language in dementia care. He emphasizes the importance of using respectful and person-centered language, which acknowledges the individuality of those living with dementia. By reframing terms and focusing on the person rather than the diagnosis, caregivers can foster better relationships and improve the quality of care. The conversation also highlights how language influences behavior and communication, urging listeners to consider the implications of their words in the context of dementia care.
