What happens when a licensed mental health counselor finds herself on the other side of care, grappling with her mother's Alzheimer's diagnosis? Join us as we welcome Ms. Bobbi Barber, who shares her compelling journey from the first signs of her mother's cognitive decline to the invaluable support she found in the Alzheimer's and Dementia Resource Center.
Together with Bobbi, we uncover the transformative power of behavior analysis principles in dementia care. Learn how small environmental adjustments, like color-coded cups and medication compliance tools, can lead to significant improvements in caregiving. We also discuss the profound impact of creating predictable and comforting environments to uphold dignity and independence for those with memory challenges. This episode offers a heartfelt blend of personal anecdotes and professional insights, providing listeners with practical tools and strategies to enhance the quality of life for both the person living with dementia and their care partners.
