Dementia Resilience With Jill Lorentz

June 1, 2021, When working with a person with memory loss and cognitive impairment, they often exhibit a phenomenon of moving back in time, acting out days and times of old, as these are the only memories that are still functioning. They will remember jobs they had in their 20's, when they had children, childhood thoughts of the home they grew up in. We cannot communicate with them if we are not meeting them where they are. We need to accept that we may be looking at someone in the 60's, 70's or 80's, who believe they are in their 30's, 20's or elementary school age. This show will help you figure out what their language is telling you if you are willing to listen and go there. It can be a wonderful walk down memory lane and will open lines of communication you never imagined was possible.
