There's a certification called a Certified Dementia Practitioner. I'm proud to be one. 💜
It's a long, rigorous training on how to communicate with someone living with dementia. And it matters more than most people realize.
Because someone with dementia doesn't process information the way you and I do, how you approach them, what you say, how you position your body, and sometimes what you choose not to say, all of it changes the moment.
This is what most families are never taught. It's also the difference between a conversation that ends in frustration and one that ends in connection.
It's a big part of what I bring to the families I work with. And it's why, for me, this was never just about the legal side.
