Experiencing Joy with Dementia - Guest: Susan McFadden
<p>Someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with some form of dementia every 65 seconds, and that number continues to grow as the population ages. Susan McFadden, co-founder of the Fox Valley Memory Project, sits down Lisa Wells to discuss how people with dementia and their loved ones can still experience joy with creativity and a shift in mindset.</p><p>It’s not often we hear the words “joy” and “dementia” in the same sentence. Dementia is hard and affects not only the person but their care partner and families – making it easy to find the gloom and doom. In order to find the light, it takes a bit of creativity and a shift in thinking as it pertains to dementia care. Susan McFadden, co-founder of the Fox Valley Memory Project and professor emerita of psychology at UW-Oshkosh, sits down with Lisa Wells to discuss different approaches to dealing with dementia that can make the journey a little less despondent and a bit brighter – starting with something as simple as re-defining the dementia “patient.”</p>
