Hey there Careblazers! Welcome back to Careblazers TV, the place where we talk about everything dementia. If you are caring for a loved one with any type of dementia, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy Body Dementia, or vascular dementia, then this is the place for you!
In today’s video, I am answering a question I receive frequently. Should you remind your loved one they have dementia. Often times, when people ask me this question, it is because they feel that reminding their loved one they have dementia will result in some type of behavior change for their loved one. This approach usually backfires. Although every situation is different, in general, it is usually not a good idea to remind your loved one they have dementia if your goal is to get them to change in some way (i.e. to stop doing something, to start showing appreciation, etc.). I hope this helps you.

In case you haven’t met me, my name is Natali Edmonds and I am a board certified geropsychologist. That means that I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with older adults. In my job, I help people with dementia, and their caregivers, by visiting them in their own homes and helping them cope through the many struggles of caring for someone with dementia. I have always wanted to help more people than is possible for me in a work day. One day, while hiking a trail, I came up with the idea for Careblazers and I decided to see if posting videos online could provide help to the many other Careblazers in the world who don’t get to have help come directly to them in their homes. I do this in my spare time. I hope that this work helps you in some way on your caregiving journey.
