  • Dementia, Law Enforcement, and Genetic Testing

    In this episode, I provide you with a resource: law enforcement who have received crisis intervention training that includes helping caregivers and people with dementia. This is a critical resource,

    especially for families of people living with behavioral variant FTD. I also discuss genetic testing. Here is the website for free genetic testing, if you qualify: www.probablygenetic.com

    • Episode 76: Becoming Your Own Dementia Expert

      Learn my formula for developing and tweaking strategies when faced with dementia behaviors: neurodegeneration plus personality plus values plus cohort. Sounds complicated, but it is not. When you know how a particular type of dementia is affecting behavior, you can select a strategy and then personalize it by knowing your family member's personality, value system, and time period when they were born.

    • Episode 75: How Difficult Family Dynamics Can F*ck With Dementia Caregiving

      Pre-dementia family relationships can make caregiving even more challenging. In this episode, I discuss different ways family dynamics cause dementia caregiving to be even more stressful and some approaches to dealing with these dynamics. Whether you are dealing with a super-critical parent who complains nonstop, non-caregiving family members who criticize your care, or sibling fighting that just never seems to stop, this episode may help.
