Talking to people with dementia: Tips and techniques | Episode 26 "Cheerful to stormy"

THIS PODCAST WAS TRANSLATED FROM GERMAN INTO ENGLISH BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE!
Conversations with a person suffering from dementia are challenging, as their cognitive abilities and language skills are often so severely impaired that misunderstandings, confusion and frustration can quickly arise on both sides.
Jürgen Griesbeck worked as a geriatric nurse for 20 years and accompanied his father with dementia in the last years of his life. In the podcast, the care expert explains how, with a lot of patience and empathy, you can talk and stay in touch with people suffering from dementia. He introduces three practical techniques - validation, biography work and basal stimulation - that can make communication easier and enjoyable for the people you are talking to.
