In this deeply insightful episode of the Dementia Caregivers’ Corner Podcast, Juliah is joined by Angel Hayes, a Namibian-born, Austria-based dementia trainer, Validation Therapy practitioner, and certified social care worker with over 13 years of experience.

 

Together, they explore how culture, empathy, and human connection shape the way we care for people living with dementia across different parts of the world.

 

Angel shares her journey from Namibia to Austria and reflects on the contrast between African cultural values—where respect for elders is deeply rooted—and Western care systems. The conversation highlights the importance of seeing the person beyond the diagnosis, understanding life stories, and responding to behaviours with compassion rather than judgment.

 

They also unpack the principles of Validation Therapy, the emotional realities caregivers face, and the transformative impact of truly understanding a person’s past in order to care for them in the present.

 

The episode does not shy away from difficult truths, addressing the stigma, abuse, and misunderstanding of dementia in some African communities, and calling for more honest, informed conversations.

 

This is a powerful discussion about dignity, identity, and what it truly means to care.

 

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

 

The role of culture in shaping dementia care practices

How Validation Therapy helps build emotional connection

Why understanding a person’s life story improves care

How to reframe so-called “challenging behaviours”

The emotional struggles caregivers face—and how to support them

 

5 Main Takeaways

  1. Dementia care must be rooted in empathy, not just clinical knowledge

 

Understanding emotions and validating experiences can transform how we connect with people living with dementia.

 

  1. Culture plays a powerful role in how we perceive and care for dementia

 

African values of respect for elders offer a strong foundation—but stigma and misunderstanding still need to be addressed openly.

 

  1. “Challenging behaviour” is often unmet need or distress

 

What we label as difficult behaviour is often a form of communication that requires patience and understanding.

 

  1. Knowing a person’s life story changes everything

 

Biographical knowledge allows caregivers to respond in ways that honour identity, history, and dignity.

 

  1. Awareness and education are urgently needed in many communities

 

Misconceptions about dementia can lead to stigma, neglect, and even abuse—highlighting the need for advocacy and education.

In this episode of Dementia Caregiver’s Corner, host Juliah speaks with Dan Cohen, entrepreneur, author of The Awakenings in Real Life, and host of the Awakenings In Real Life Podcast.

 

Dan shares the deeply personal story of caring for his father through dementia and the extraordinary moment when his father experienced what Dan describes as an “awakening.”

Unlike the brief moments of lucidity sometimes reported in dementia, Dan’s father seemed fully present and aware for nearly two days — an experience that profoundly changed how Dan understands memory, identity, and the human spirit at the end of life.

Together, they explore dementia not from a clinical perspective, but through the lived experience of family caregiving.

The conversation touches on caregiver exhaustion, missed moments, family dynamics, and the possibility of meaning and connection even in the most difficult stages of the disease.

Dan also discusses the inspiration behind his book and podcast, where he shares stories of people who have experienced life-changing awakenings through illness, trauma, loss, and other transformative events.

This episode is a powerful reminder that even in the midst of dementia, moments of presence, joy, and connection can still emerge.

 

Key Takeaways From This Episode

 

  1. Dementia does not erase the person completely.

Even when memory and communication change, many people living with dementia still experience moments of awareness, joy, and connection.

 

  1. Caregivers need compassion too.

Exhaustion and stress are common in dementia caregiving, and missing certain moments is not a failure — it simply reflects how demanding caregiving can be.

 

  1. Meaningful connection is still possible.

Simple experiences — familiar places, favourite songs, foods, or shared memories — can still bring comfort and joy to someone living with dementia.

 

Let me take this moment to thank you, our dear listeners, for tuning in to this episode.

If you enjoyed our conversation with Dan Cohen, or if you’re passionate about dementia care, please consider leaving a review and sharing this episode with someone who might benefit from it. Your support helps us reach more people and raise awareness about dementia-related issues.

Berrie Holtzhausen’s Lived Experience

 

Repost: In today’s episode, we are thrilled to welcome back Berrie Holtzhausen from Namibia, Africa. Berrie is the Founder and CEO of Alzheimer Dementia Namibia (ADN) and the visionary behind the Dementia Care Farm, a place of safety for people living with dementia, especially those wrongly accused of witchcraft.

 

Berrie was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2020 and has since become a dedicated advocate for people living with dementia (PLWD). In this episode, he shares his personal experiences, the challenges of stigma, and his innovative approach to prolonging life with dementia.

 

Key Topics Discussed:

 

Berrie’s personal updates on living with dementia and how he manages changes in memory and focus.

 

His concept of DNA for prolonging life with dementia – a philosophy emphasizing inclusion and quality of life.

 

The importance of cultural awareness in dementia care—understanding backgrounds, emotions, and communication styles.

 

His ongoing work on a dementia-friendly village—an initiative to educate families and traditional leaders on dementia to combat stigma and harmful beliefs.

 

Key Takeaways:

 

Do not disconnect me from life." A dementia diagnosis does not mean immediate incapacity—staying engaged is crucial.

 

Stigma isolates people. Many friends walk away due to misconceptions about dementia, making social support even more essential.

 

Senses play a vital role. While memory fades, sensory experiences (smell, touch, hearing) can help PLWD navigate their world.

 

Education can change communities. By involving traditional leaders, Berrie’s dementia-friendly village aims to shift harmful narratives and improve dementia care.

When we get Alzheimer’s, walk away.” Those were the words Marilyn Raichle’s mother once shared with her, long before both of Marilyn’s parents were diagnosed.

 

In this moving episode, Marilyn shares how introducing her mother to painting transformed their Alzheimer’s journey from fear and resistance to creativity, connection, and joy. What began as a simple art class led to international recognition, an Emmy Award–winning documentary, and the founding of The Art of Alzheimer’s.

 

We explore the power of language—“living with” vs “suffering from” dementia—care partner vs caregiver, the ethics of sharing a loved one’s story, and how creativity can preserve dignity and identity

 

3 clear main takeaways from this episode:

 

Creativity Can Unlock Connection

Even after an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, Marilyn’s mother discovered a new voice through painting. Art became a bridge, restoring confidence, preserving identity, and deepening their mother–daughter bond.

Language Shapes Dignity

The difference between “living with” vs “suffering from” dementia and “care partner” vs “caregiver” matters. Words influence how we see people with dementia and how they see themselves.

Sharing Stories Is Advocacy, Not Exploitation

By sharing her mother’s artwork with the world, Marilyn helped shift perceptions of dementia from decline alone to creativity and possibility. Her work reminds us that raising awareness can honour, not diminish, a loved one’s legacy.

Marilyn Raichle’s book, Don’t Walk Away: A Care Partner’s Journey, is available on Amazon.

What if one simple question could bring laughter, connection, and joy back into life with dementia?

 

In this episode of Dementia Caregiver’s Corner, Juliah speaks with Glenna Hecht, two-time author, speaker, and advocate about the powerful game she created with her mother, “How Old Are You Today?” What began as a way to cope with confusion became a daily ritual that preserved identity, sparked humour, and strengthened their bond through every stage of dementia.

 

Glenna shares honest reflections on recognising the early signs of dementia, navigating guilt and grief as a caregiver, and why humour, repetition, and presence matter more than memory. Together, they explore how caregivers can stay connected, protect their own wellbeing, and find moments of joy, even in the hardest seasons.

 

A heartfelt, hopeful conversation for anyone caring for, loving, or supporting someone living with dementia.

 

Key Takeaways

 

  • Connection is still possible, even when memory fades
  • Humour can be a powerful tool in dementia care
  • Caregiving requires compassion — for others and yourself

]]> Episode Title: Dementia Caregiving: The One Question That Helped a Mother and Daughter Reconnect with Glenna Hecht

 

What if one simple question could bring laughter, connection, and joy back into life with dementia?

 

In this episode of Dementia Caregiver’s Corner, Juliah speaks with Glenna Hecht, two-time author, speaker, and advocate about the powerful game she created with her mother, “How Old Are You Today?” What began as a way to cope with confusion became a daily ritual that preserved identity, sparked humour, and strengthened their bond through every stage of dementia.

 

Glenna shares honest reflections on recognising the early signs of dementia, navigating guilt and grief as a caregiver, and why humour, repetition, and presence matter more than memory. Together, they explore how caregivers can stay connected, protect their own wellbeing, and find moments of joy, even in the hardest seasons.

 

A heartfelt, hopeful conversation for anyone caring for, loving, or supporting someone living with dementia.

 

Key Takeaways

 

  • Connection is still possible, even when memory fades
  • Humour can be a powerful tool in dementia care
  • Caregiving requires compassion — for others and yourself

The holidays are often described as a time of joy, togetherness, and rest—but for caregivers, they can feel like yet another exhausting stretch in an already relentless journey.

 

In this episode of Dementia Caregivers Corner Podcast, Juliah is joined by Dr. Wolfgang Spangernberger, author of The Unexpected Marathon and The Holiday Survival Guide for Caregivers, to explore why caregiving stress intensifies during the festive season—and how caregivers can survive it with compassion, boundaries, and self-preservation.

 

Together, we discuss caregiver guilt, burnout warning signs, difficult family dynamics, and the emotional weight carried by those who quietly hold everything together. This episode offers practical tools, mindset shifts, and gentle reminders that caregiving is not about perfection but presence.

 

Whether you’re caring for someone with dementia or supporting a caregiver you love, this conversation offers reassurance, validation, and hope during the holiday season.

 

3 Main Points Discussed

 

Caregiving as an Unexpected Marathon

Why long-term caregiving requires pacing, rest, and realistic expectations, especially during the holidays.

 

Burnout, Guilt, and Boundaries

Recognising early signs of burnout, understanding caregiver guilt, and learning how to set gentle but firm boundaries.

 

Family Dynamics and Feeling Unseen

Navigating criticism, lack of appreciation, and complex family relationships while protecting emotional wellbeing.

 

3 Key Takeaways

 

You can’t pour from an empty cup

Burnout often creeps in quietly, rest and support are not luxuries but necessities.

 

Caregiving is about presence, not perfection

Showing up with compassion matters more than doing everything “right.”

 

Boundaries are acts of care, not selfishness

Saying no, asking for help, and resetting expectations protect both the caregiver and the relationship.

Episode Summary: In this episode of the Dementia Caregiver’s Corner Podcast, we explore a lesser-known but deeply important aspect of dementia: olfactory impairment also known as the loss of smell.

 

My guest, Duncan Boak, co-founder and CEO of SmellTaste, the UK’s leading charity for people affected by smell and taste disorders, shares his lived experience of losing his sense of smell after a head injury. Together, we discuss the critical links between smell loss and dementia, safety concerns, emotional wellbeing, and the vital support networks available to those living with sensory changes.

 

Duncan also talks about his contribution to the new book A New Approach to Dementia: Examining Sensory and Perceptual Impairment, shedding light on how changes in smell and taste impact older adults and people living with dementia.

 

3 Main Discussion Points

 

His Personal Journey – Duncan shares his lived experience of losing his sense of smell after a severe head injury and how it shaped his advocacy work.

 

Smell, Memory & Dementia – Exploring the link between olfactory impairment, taste changes, and dementia, including risks, hallucinations, and daily challenges.

 

Support & Advocacy – The work of Smell Taste and Duncan’s contribution to a new book highlighting sensory impairments in dementia care.

 

3 Key Takeaways

 

Smell is more than a sense – it shapes memory, emotions, safety, and quality of life.

 

Olfactory impairment is common in dementia but often overlooked, leading to risks like unsafe eating, missed dangers (fires, gas), or hallucinations.

 

Support is available – TasteSmell provides resources and advocacy for people with smell and taste disorders, including those living with dementia and their caregivers.

Episode Summary: Making decisions about senior living and memory care is one of the toughest challenges families face when supporting a loved one with dementia. In this episode, I’m joined by Shari Ross, author of Senior Living Made S.I.M.P.L.E.™ and founder of the brand of the same name. Shari has guided countless families through this emotional journey, providing clear steps and compassionate advice to help them navigate caregiving, safety, and memory care choices with confidence.

 

We discuss how families can recognise early signs of dementia, manage safety concerns at home, navigate disagreements between siblings, and prepare both emotionally and financially for memory care. Shari also shares practical strategies for reducing caregiver burnout and explains the myths and realities of memory care communities.

 

 Main Points Discussed

 

Recognising early signs of dementia and the first practical steps families should take when memory concerns appear.

 

When home care may no longer be enough and how to address safety risks before a crisis occurs.

 

Family dynamics, myths, and finances — navigating disagreements, preparing for costs, and understanding what memory care really means.

 

Key Takeaways

 

Start early — when memory lapses appear, seek assessment and make a plan rather than waiting for a crisis.

 

Caregiver wellbeing matters — stress and burnout are warning signs that more support is needed.

 

Memory care isn’t “giving up” — the right community can provide safety, engagement, and dignity for loved ones living with dementia.

Nduduzo, South Africa

 

Repost. An enlightening and touching episode this week as your Host Juliah Ratladi talked down with Nduduzo, from Kwazulu-Natal in South Africa.

 

Nduduzo discovered his Grandmother was unwell when he came home for his mother’s funeral and soon discovered that she was living with dementia. He decided to do something really special and gave up his work to look after his Grandma because he felt he owed it to her to give back after she had looked after him.

 

Nduduzo has no training, but did extensive research into the needs of, and care for, those with dementia and his compassion and patience is inspiring.

 

Grandma also joins the call so you will get an opportunity to see what it takes to patiently work with someone who doesn’t always understand the world around them.

Kimberley Littlemore on Documenting Her Parents’ Dementia https://dementiacaregiverscorner.podbean.com/e/can-love-and-loss-be-captured-on-film-kimberley-littlemore-on-documenting-her-parents-dementia/ https://dementiacaregiverscorner.podbean.com/e/can-love-and-loss-be-captured-on-film-kimberley-littlemore-on-documenting-her-parents-dementia/#comments Wed, 29 Oct 2025 08:00:00 +0000 dementiacaregiverscorner.podbean.com/563a9624-c4df-3d19-8e19-cba81bcf676d Episode Summary:

Most families don’t fully understand dementia until it affects their own loved ones. For award-winning documentary filmmaker Kimberley Littlemore, that moment came when both her parents were diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Realising how little she knew about dementia—and how few films captured the lived experience—she turned the cameras on her parents’ journey, creating a powerful series that blends personal stories with expert insights.

 

In this conversation, Kimberley opens about her parents’ diagnosis, what she learned as both a daughter and a filmmaker, and why films based on lived experience are so vital in raising awareness and reducing stigma around dementia. She also reflects on her work with the BBC, her contribution to a new book on dementia and sensory changes and offers advice on which mediums—film or documentary—might create the biggest impact in regions like Africa where dementia is still widely misunderstood.

 

Main Points Discussed

Kimberley’s journey from filmmaker to daughter documenting her own parents’ Alzheimer’s diagnosis and lived experience.

 

The importance of sensory and perceptual changes in dementia, and her contribution to A New Approach to Dementia.

 

A candid discussion on the impact of films vs. documentaries in creating dementia awareness in Sub-Saharan Africa.

 

Key Takeaways

Lived experience matters — Films showing real family journeys can raise awareness and break stigma in ways textbooks and statistics cannot.

 

Dementia isn’t just memory loss — Sensory changes and behavioural symptoms are often overlooked but deeply affect daily life.

 

Storytelling is powerful — Whether through documentaries or feature films, visual storytelling helps families, caregivers, and communities better understand dementia.

We explore the critical challenges in long-term care, including staff-to-resident ratios and communication gaps between families and care providers, and discuss how these impact both residents and caregivers. Dr. Lord also explains her Lord’s Theory on the psychology of the dementia brain, and how new care models like TDI are shaping better outcomes in dementia care.

 

Key Points Discussed

 

Staffing Challenges: How low staff-to-resident ratios affect residents’ emotional and physical care.

 

Communication Gaps: The importance of effective communication between families and care teams.

 

Innovative Care Models: Introduction to the Transactional Dementia Intelligence (TDI) model and how it differs from traditional approaches.

 

Key Takeaways

 

Consistent staffing improves relationships, understanding, and wellbeing for both residents and caregivers.

 

Engaging families and caregivers in care planning enhances quality of care and reduces stress.

 

Learning and applying new models, like TDI, helps approach dementia care holistically and personally.

Since his mother’s experiences with dementia Andrias has worked with organisations and government to overcome the stigma of dementia in African communities where people are often accused of witchcraft.

 

His mother’s experiences with lack of understanding and treatment had massive impacts on the family, but Andrias was determined to support his family

 

He espouses very human and sympathetic ways to care for people with dementia, arguing that they need the same sort of patience we have for small children as they need to be cared for how they cared for their families in life.

 

So listen in and be inspired by Andrias and his journey.

I am naturally loud, anyone who listens to my podcast or knows me personally can attest to that. But in this episode, my loudness mellowed. My guest brought peace, warmth, and love that were indescribable. She may not know it, but just by chatting with her, she brought me to a place of calm and stillness.

In this episode, I sit down with Sharon Lukert, a retired Buddhist chaplain and author of Until My Memory Fails Me. Sharon shares her deeply personal journey of living with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) while drawing from over 20 years of experience supporting others through illness, grief, and end-of-life care. Together, we explore what it feels like to notice the first signs of memory loss, the emotional weight of seeking a diagnosis, and the everyday practices that make life meaningful.

This heartfelt conversation also looks at the role of spirituality, mindfulness, and community in coping with cognitive decline, not only for those directly affected but also for their families and caregivers. Sharon’s story is one of honesty, resilience, and compassion, offering hope and wisdom for anyone navigating similar challenges.

 

Key Takeaways

Early signs of MCI can be subtle but emotionally impactful, prompting reflection and the need for understanding.

Practical routines and coping strategies help maintain independence and ease daily life with cognitive changes.

Spirituality and faith can provide grounding, hope, and strength in navigating memory loss.

Connection and community are vital for both individuals and families, offering support, resilience, and shared meaning.

 

Key Topics Discussed

Sharon’s personal experience of living with Mild Cognitive Impairment.

The emotional journey of seeking and receiving a diagnosis.

The role of spirituality and interfaith chaplaincy in dementia care.

In this insightful conversation, Juliah is joined by David Knight, Advanced Clinical Practitioner and Independent Prescribing Optometrist, UK, to explore how vision and perception are affected by dementia. Using real-life examples and clinical experience, David breaks down how the brain and eyes work together—and how dementia disrupts this connection. From the differences across dementia types to practical home adjustments, this episode helps caregivers and professionals better understand visual challenges in dementia and how to address them.

 

4 Key Topics Discussed:

How dementia affects visual processing – explained through the case of Jennifer and the wristwatch vs. clock scenario.

 

Differences in visual symptoms across dementia types – including Alzheimer’s, Lewy Body, and frontotemporal dementia.

 

The connection between eyesight and cognitive decline – does poor vision contribute to dementia, or vice versa?

 

Vision assessments and accessibility – including tips for clinicians and caregivers on evaluating visual function in individuals with cognitive impairment.

 

4 Key Takeaways:

Vision and the brain are tightly linked—dementia can distort visual interpretation even when the eyes are healthy.

 

Types of dementia affect vision differently—for example, Lewy Body dementia often causes visual hallucinations, while vascular dementia may affect contrast or depth perception.

 

Misinterpreting visual signs can be risky—caregivers might mistake visual dysfunction for stubbornness, which can lead to frustration or accidents.

 

Small home adaptations can make a big difference—like lighting, contrast, and simplifying visual clutter to support safety and independence.

In this episode, Professor Andrea Tales, joins us to explore how dementia affects more than just memory, focusing on the often-overlooked sensory and perceptual changes. We discuss how smart technology, and thoughtful environmental design can better support people living with dementia, reduce distress, and improve quality of life. Whether you're a caregiver or professional, this conversation offers practical insights and new ways to think about dementia care.

Key Topics:

Sensory and Perceptual Changes in Dementia

– Understanding how visual dysfunction and other sensory issues impact behaviour and daily life.

 

Environmental Design

– How adapting home and public spaces can improve safety, familiarity, and independence for people living with dementia.

 

SMART Technology in Dementia Care

– The role of devices like Alexa and clocks in reducing anxiety and supporting routine, communication, and calmness.

 

Shifting from Trial-and-Error to Personalised Support

– Helping caregivers make informed choices about technology and care strategies based on the individual’s needs.

 

Key Takeaways:

Dementia isn’t just about memory loss, sensory changes like vision, balance, and perception are equally important but often overlooked.

These changes can lead to distress, confusion, and safety risks if not properly addressed.

 

Simple environmental changes, like adjusting colours, lighting, or layout—can make a big difference in helping people with dementia feel safe and oriented.

 

SMART technologies can enhance care when introduced at the right time and tailored to the person’s stage and needs, but they should support, not replace, human connection.

 

Caregivers benefit most when they move away from random solutions and instead use evidence-based, personalised strategies that truly fit their loved one’s situation.

Shellie Josey, Jen’s only daughter, joins us to reflect on her mum’s life, their family’s caregiving journey, and how they’ve been coping since her passing.

 

We explore Jen’s background, her role as a mother and sister, and the qualities that made her so special. Shellie shares insights into the early symptoms of dementia, the family’s initial struggles, and how they learned to navigate life with her diagnosis. She discusses the importance of family unity, the challenges of accessing social care, and the value of maintaining friendships for those living with dementia.

 

The episode also highlights the family’s commitment to honoring Jen’s wish to remain at home, the adjustments they made to accommodate her needs, and Shellie’s journey toward finding purpose after her mother’s death.

 

Shellie concludes with advice for families caring for parents with dementia, offering encouragement and wisdom to those on a similar path.

 

This episode is a celebration of Jen’s legacy and a source of inspiration and support for caregivers and families worldwide.

 

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

 

Family Unity is Vital

Caring for a loved one with dementia requires strong family collaboration and support. Shellie emphasized how working together as a family helped them navigate the emotional and practical challenges of Jen’s dementia journey.

 

Early Symptoms Often Go Unrecognized

Many families, including Jen’s, are unaware of dementia until it directly impacts them. Recognizing unusual behaviors and seeking timely medical advice is crucial for early diagnosis and better care planning.

 

The Importance of Honoring Wishes

Jen’s wish to remain at home rather than move to a care home required significant adjustments and sacrifices. Shellie’s story highlights the importance of respecting a loved one’s preferences and finding ways to fulfill them despite challenges.

 

Friendships Play a Key Role

Maintaining relationships is essential for individuals living with dementia. Shellie shared how Jen’s friends continued visiting her, providing comfort and connection. Encouraging friendships, even in advanced stages, can greatly enhance a person’s quality of life.

In this thought-provoking episode of the Dementia Caregivers Corner Podcast, host Juliah is joined by Dr Hannah Hussain, a Health Economist at the Office of Health Economics in London. Dr Hussain, who holds a PhD in health economics from the University of Sheffield and is a qualified pharmacist, shares her insights into the challenges that Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities face in accessing dementia care.

From cultural stigma and late diagnoses to language barriers and the overlooked role of unpaid carers, this episode dives deep into the structural and social factors that limit access to timely and culturally sensitive dementia support. Dr Hussain also highlights the importance of inclusive research and culturally competent care homes in addressing these disparities.

Key Topics Discussed:

  • Barriers to dementia diagnosis and care in BAME communities
  • Economic impact of unpaid caregiving on families and the healthcare system
  • The need for culturally competent dementia services and inclusive research

Key Takeaways:

  1. Cultural stigma and expectations in BAME communities can discourage families from seeking formal dementia care, contributing to late diagnoses and hidden burdens.
  2. Unpaid carers in BAME households save the NHS substantial costs but often lack adequate support and recognition.
  3. Culturally competent care and language access are essential for improving dementia services for diverse communities.

They explore the cultural, linguistic, and systemic challenges affecting dementia understanding and care in Botswana and Sub-Saharan Africa.

 

A major issue? There is no Setswana word for “dementia.” This language gap, combined with deep-rooted cultural misconceptions, fuels stigma and prevents many families from seeking help.

 

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • The Language Barrier – Many African languages, including Setswana, lack a direct translation for "dementia," making awareness efforts more difficult.
  • Cultural Misconceptions – Dementia symptoms are often attributed to witchcraft, curses, or divine punishment, leading to isolation and neglect.
  • Recognizing Dementia Symptoms – Memory loss, confusion, and behavioral changes are early warning signs often misunderstood in African communities.
  • The Power of Advocacy – How organizations like Dementia Botswana are driving change through education, policy influence, and community outreach.

 

Resources Mentioned:

  • Academic Article: Beliefs and Attitudes Towards Dementia Among Community Leaders in Northern Nigeria
  • Website: pelonomi.com

 

Why This Matters:

Dementia cases are rising in Sub-Saharan Africa, yet awareness and support systems remain limited. This episode sheds light on why breaking the stigma is crucial for better care and policy development.

Berrie is the Founder and CEO of Alzheimer Dementia Namibia (ADN) and the visionary behind the Dementia Care Farm, a place of safety for people living with dementia, especially those wrongly accused of witchcraft.

Berrie was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2020 and has since become a dedicated advocate for people living with dementia (PLWD). In this episode, he shares his personal experiences, the challenges of stigma, and his innovative approach to prolonging life with dementia.

  • Key Topics Discussed: Berrie’s personal updates on living with dementia and how he manages changes in memory and focus.
  • His concept of DNA for prolonging life with dementia – a philosophy emphasizing inclusion and quality of life.
  • The importance of cultural awareness in dementia care—understanding backgrounds, emotions, and communication styles.
  • His ongoing work on a dementia-friendly village—an initiative to educate families and traditional leaders on dementia to combat stigma and harmful beliefs.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Do not disconnect me from life." A dementia diagnosis does not mean immediate incapacity—staying engaged is crucial.
  2. Stigma isolates people. Many friends walk away due to misconceptions about dementia, making social support even more essential.
  3. Senses play a vital role. While memory fades, sensory experiences (smell, touch, hearing) can help PLWD navigate their world.
  4. Education can change communities. By involving traditional leaders, Berrie’s dementia-friendly village aims to shift harmful narratives and improve dementia care.

Shellie Josey, Jen’s only daughter, joins us to reflect on her mum’s life, their family’s caregiving journey, and how they’ve been coping since her passing.

We explore Jen’s background, her role as a mother and sister, and the qualities that made her so special. Shellie shares insights into the early symptoms of dementia, the family’s initial struggles, and how they learned to navigate life with her diagnosis. She discusses the importance of family unity, the challenges of accessing social care, and the value of maintaining friendships for those living with dementia.

The episode also highlights the family’s commitment to honoring Jen’s wish to remain at home, the adjustments they made to accommodate her needs, and Shellie’s journey toward finding purpose after her mother’s death.

Shellie concludes with advice for families caring for parents with dementia, offering encouragement and wisdom to those on a similar path.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

  • Family Unity is Vital Caring for a loved one with dementia requires strong family collaboration and support. Shellie emphasized how working together as a family helped them navigate the emotional and practical challenges of Jen’s dementia journey.
  • Early Symptoms Often Go Unrecognized Many families, including Jen’s, are unaware of dementia until it directly impacts them. Recognizing unusual behaviors and seeking timely medical advice is crucial for early diagnosis and better care planning.

Nduduzo discovered his Grandmother was unwell when he came home for his mother’s funeral and soon discovered that she was living with dementia. He decided to do something really special and gave up his work to look after his Grandma because he felt he owed it to her to give back after she had looked after him.

Nduduzo has no training, but did extensive research into the needs of, and care for, those with dementia and his compassion and patience is inspiring.

Grandma also joins the call so you will get an opportunity to see what it takes to patiently work with someone who doesn’t always understand the world around them.

In this inspirational episode Juliah sat down with Andrias Mungundu, an newly registered nurse and an advocate for dementia rights and education in Namibia.

Since his mother’s experiences with dementia Andrias has worked with organisations and government to overcome the stigma of dementia in African communities where people are often accused of witchcraft.

His mother’s experiences with lack of understanding and treatment had massive impacts on the family, but Andrias was determined to support his family

He espouses very human and sympathetic ways to care for people with dementia, arguing that they need the same sort of patience we have for small children as they need to be cared for how they cared for their families in life.

So listen in and be inspired by Andrias and his journey.

In this enlightening episode of "Dementia Caregiver's Corner," your host, Juliah Ratladi, talks to Dr Liz Price Lecturer in the Faculty of Health Sciences and School of Psychology and Social Work at the University of Hull.

Liz worked for many years with people living with enduring mental health problems before training as a social worker. She then worked as a specialist social worker in dementia care, with a particular interest in the ways in which the condition is experienced by, and impacts upon, LGBT people.

Juliah and Dr Price have a wide-ranging conversation about the challenges of providing care to people with dementia, and those who care for them.

Go into detail about what the many  different conditions that we call ‘dementia’ are, as well as examining the stigmas that those who live with dementia are burdened with all over the world.

Join the movement to make a difference, one conversation at a time, on "Dementia Caregiver's Corner."
