<p>We’re joined by <a href="https://dementiatogether.org/about-dementia-together/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>Cyndy Luzinsk</u></a>i, an advanced practice nurse and the executive director of Dementia Together, for an enlightening conversation about dementia care. Cyndy introduces us to the SPECAL Method, a groundbreaking approach to dementia care that focuses on person-centered care and views dementia as a simple disability, rather than a complex and intimidating condition. We explore the concept of the SPECAL Photograph Album, a tool designed to enhance understanding, as well as the Three Golden Rules of dementia care, and how caregivers can positively improve their attitudes to provide better, more compassionate care. This episode emphasizes the importance of empathy in dementia care, where feelings take precedence over facts, offering insight into how this shift in perspective can transform both caregiving and the quality of life for those living with dementia. </p>
