There will probably come a time when your loved one with dementia may no longer be able to have conversations like they use to.

Yes/No questions can create communication when open ended questions become too overwhelming.

👉You can still communicate with your loved one with dementia. If you have questions about this, I'd love to talk. Call me at 803-486-5322 for a free 15 minute initial consultation.

Sometimes I get questions about how a caregiver can communicate with and spend quality time with their loved one who has late stage dementia; including Alzheimer's.

Activities don't have to be loud and exciting. In fact, loud and exciting is often not the best way to support a person with dementia while honoring comfort and dignity. I write about some of this in my most recent blog on my website.

👉Comment "activities" or message me if you would love a link to this blog. No pressure - just support.

Disabled and proud baby. I lead with a disability informed perspective. I lead with lived disability experience.

I’ve navigated the many systems and situations that weren’t designed with disability in mind.

Love this post if inclusion matters to you.

I enjoyed attending the Central Piedmont Community College Small Business Day Celebration today!

There was a great lunch, classes, and networking for local small business owners. The small business center has helped me so much with learning how to build and grow AgeWell Advocacy.

Let me know in the comments why supporting small businesses is important to you!

Yesterday, I gave a beautiful Zoom presentation to a SAGE dementia caregivers support group. SAGE is a national nonprofit that supports LGBTQ+ elders.

I was proud to talk about meaningful activities, how we can adapt activities as the dementia progresses, and I showed my list of age appropriate and holistic activity supplies as well as inspiring videos on how therapeutic music can be.

Do you have questions about how you can add to the quality of life of your older loved one? Leave a comment and I'll be sure to get in touch.

I'm feeling better and wanted to publish this month's blog!

In this month's blog, I write about my experiences as an activity professional and how I have carried that work into my care management.

Caregivers and aging service marketing professionals, this one has some info you may not realize you need to read. I was inspired to write this after creating my downloadable Dementia Caregiver Activity Guide.

Your older loved one can benefit from meaningful activities.

Throughout my career as a Gerontologist, otherwise known as an expert, I've worked with family who missed communicating with their loved ones with , including 's, and helping them to enjoy their days. That's why I created the Dementia Caregiver Activity Guide.

Meaningful activities can help your loved one with dementia to sleep better, experience more joy and sense of accomplishment, focus less on pain and discomfort, and create a stronger bond with family. My favorite part about this guide is that it helps you to create these moments no matter how far along your loved one is with their dementia journey.

This guide includes...

* step by step guidance for introducing meaningful activities
* simple activities that can be adapted for different abilities
* tips for reducing frustration and encouraging engagement
* how to adapt activities as the person's dementia progresses
* printable worksheets for helpful reflections as you learn what works best

If you're interested in exploring more activities and how they can support your loved one with dementia, comment "Activities" or send me a private message. I'm here to support you!

This past Sunday, I enjoyed being a vendor at the local Trans & Non-Binary Market!
