Amy takes some time to tell you more about last stage of dementia using the Living Gems with a focus on Pearls, the last stage of dementia in the Gems model.    Teepa Snow, Positive Approach to Care, created the gems to learn about each stage of the disease so that with the right care and the right setting, everyone gem can shine.  Amy covered the entire gems model in a webinar recording for Tembo Health and released those episodes with two podcast episodes (in the show note).  After that brief overview, Amy shares more information and experiences about the stages of dementia one by one.
