Imagine navigating the holiday season with a loved one living with dementia. It's undoubtedly a heart-wrenching reality, yet it also presents an opportunity to connect more profoundly with your loved one. This is the focus of our earnest conversation with the mighty compassionate Elisa Bosley chaplain and founder of Spiritual Elder Care.
In this fascinating episode, host Attorney Bob Mannor and Elisa tackle the sensitive subject of including dementia patients in our family and religious traditions. Elisa brings her wealth of experience to the table, offering practical tips for planning ahead and embracing the situation with grace and empathy.
Bob and Elisa also discuss the significance of treating our loved ones with dignity during holiday celebrations and the art of creating a conducive environment for them, emphasizing the importance of slowing down and involving them in meaningful activities. We even delve into the logistics of handling guests with dementia respectfully and inclusively.
As we go deeper, we also explore the art of managing agitation in dementia patients during religious services and celebrations. We offer advice on reading body language, implementing a buddy system, and establishing a calming ambiance.
This episode is more than just a reservoir of information; it's a catalyst for fostering an empathetic and informed community. So, join us on this journey of learning, growing, and connecting.
