Sinopse

Today we talked with Steven A. Barbieri and Truthful Loving Kindness, both living with dementia. It was a very interesting show with great insights. We covered a variety of topics listed below. * The diagnostic process and the difficulty in getting an actual type of dementia pinned down. Like Cancer, Dementia is a category, not an official disease like Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy Body Dementia, Vascular, FTD, CTE… We also dive into the benefits of exercise. The importance of the Phrases – Nothing About Us Without Us and Nothing About Me Without Me Organizations that tout having a “Token” person living with dementia on the board… and the impact of that. Truthful’s Blog on dementia symptoms and strategies. Using a cell phone for strategies, pictures to help remember things or events, calendars, and reminder alerts. Quality of Life for people living with dementia. *Bidets, what a wonderful tool as the disease progresses. Helpful Resources Discussed National Council of Dementia Minds also known as Dementia Minds
