Think Dementia

Vision Changes with Dementia


Listen Later

Did you know that dementia can affect someone's vision?  Even if their eyes seem okay, someone living with dementia may experience vision changes that lead to confusion, isolation, and challenges with cares.  Over a decade ago, Teepa Snow trained Amy House in how dementia changes the brain and this information was a game changer in how Amy communicates and solves challenges with people living with dementia.  Amy gives some examples of what she has seen over the years.

Amy House, C.D.P. guides care partners in understanding how dementia affects the brain. This podcast has recorded questions from listeners.  Each episode, Amy unpacks their questions and helps you learn to “think dementia.” This leads to better quality of life, improved relationships and empowered care partners.  Be part of a connected community by learning from each other’s questions.  

Amy House records and produces 100% of this podcast and currently does not have sponsors to pay her for her time.
