Teepa brings her deep knowledge and innovative methods to the conversation, offering insights that are both practical and transformative for anyone navigating life with dementia.
Teepa discusses her PAC approach, emphasizing the importance of focusing on what individuals with dementia can still do rather than what they have lost. She introduces her GEMS® model, which redefines how we think about dementia by describing brain changes as “states” rather than rigid “stages.” This perspective allows for a more compassionate and adaptable approach to care.
