Alzheimer's: A Nurses's Primer - a podcast by Leanne Meier, BSN, RN

Lori La Bey is my amazing guest. She is a sought-after speaker, trainer and advocate for Alzheimer patients and their often, overwhelmed families. She learned all this the hard way: 32 years ago with her mother (who lived 30 years after diagnosis--AMAZING!) At the time there were few or no resources available, doctors and nurses were rarely confident about the issue and she saw the effects of their blunders played out on her mother. Lori has come to look at this issue, less from a medical point of view than the Relational point of view of the individual. She talks about how the words we use with and around people with Alzheimers, can actually influence behaviors. She shares tips & wisdom on positive, partnering interactions with loved ones. Out of her experience, she has created numerous joyous resources for people currently making their way through this unfamiliar journey. PLEASE do listen and rethink everything you thought you knew about Alzheimer's.
