From Caregiver to Care Partner: Rethinking Dementia Support with Teepa Snow
In this powerful episode, Sara sits down with internationally renowned dementia care educator and occupational therapist Teepa Snow. Drawing from over four decades of experience, Teepa shares why she uses the term “care partner” instead of “caregiver” and reveals how a relational, skills-based approach can dramatically improve the quality of life for individuals living with dementia and those supporting them. From the importance of curiosity to her innovative P.I.P.E.S. framework, Teepa offers transformative insights into what it really takes to build connection and preserve dignity in memory care. Whether you're a professional in elder law or a family member supporting a loved one through brain change, this conversation is rich with practical wisdom, validation, and hope.
