When a person living with dementia repeats the same task over and over, and redirection doesn’t seem to be working, it’s easy to assume that they’re choosing to be stubborn. In this episode, Teepa and Greg talk about a former house cleaner who couldn’t stop “dusting” chairs with a maraca. Teepa explains how one simple substitution helped her finish the job, feel successful, and finally be able to rest. They also look at how brain change affects visual field perception, why these changes can make a well-meant intervention feel like a threat, and how approaching from the front can make a world of difference.
