How to talk on the phone to someone with dementia?

Hey there Careblazer! 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! I post a video every Sunday on the topic of dementia caregiving.

Today’s video is about how to have enjoyable phone conversations with your loved one with dementia. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many of you are calling your loved ones because you can’t visit them as often as you would like. To avoid the feeling of groundhog day with your phone calls, I share some mindset tips to help as well as specific things you can do and say to your loved one when you are on the phone. I hope it helps.

If you have any questions you want me to answer in a future video, leave them below in a comment and don’t forget to hit the red subscribe button on your screen. It’s completely free and it helps my channel reach other Careblazers who might be helped.

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.
