This episode explores the topic of supporting people living with dementia, and how we can adapt to the additional challenges presented by this global pandemic. For this conversation I interview Heather Luth, Dementia Program specialist for Schlegel Villages, and Tara Rosenow, who is the Neighbourhood Coordinator for the "Emma Neighbourhood" - the memory care wing of The Village of Riverside Glen. Both of these team members work to implement the "Living in my today" care philosophy, which "supports people living with dementia as they tap into their strengths, express themselves and enjoy the comfort and security of friendships in a place where they experience acceptance and belonging." Thank you Heather and Tara for giving us a glimpse into this work!
