Laura was featured on the Positive Aging Community yesterday.
A key theme in Laura's teachings is understanding the unique experiences of those with dementia. She urges caregivers to see the world from the person’s perspective, recognizing their reality may differ, which fosters empathy and support.
Communication is another cornerstone of her approach. As verbal skills decline, Laura promotes non-verbal methods—like body language, expressions, and touch—to convey love, safety, and understanding, helping maintain connection.
Laura also stresses practical strategies, such as establishing routines to provide comfort and reduce anxiety. She encourages engaging individuals in meaningful, personalized activities that support cognitive function and boost self-worth.
