Dementia Care Tips | Adria Thompson on Instagram: "“Is it time for a feeding tube?” This is a deeply personal and emotional decision many families face in the late stages of dementia. Feeding tubes are not routinely recommended for advanced dementia. Research shows they often don’t prolong life, don’t prevent aspiration pneumonia, and don’t improve comfort. In some cases, they can lead to more complications. Hand-feeding can be just as effective — and offers comfort, connection, and dignity at t

Dementia Care Tips | Adria Thompson on Instagram: "Not all cups are created equal, especially when it comes to supporting someone with dementia. In this video, I walk through a store and point out common design features that can unintentionally make drinking harder: oversized bottles, lids with complicated mechanisms, unfamiliar shapes that require too much tilting, or dull colors that blend into the environment. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. The right cup depends on the person’s prefer

Dementia Care Tips | Adria Thompson on Instagram: "I’ve met @emmahemingwillis, and yes, she’s strong. She knew before sharing her family’s story that criticism would follow, but she also knew that advocacy and representation for caregivers is more important than fear. If you don’t believe there’s still stigma around dementia, or that society doesn’t fully understand it, just look at the way people have responded. The headlines and the comments show it clearly. This is proof that we still have a

Dementia Care Tips | Adria Thompson on Instagram: "One of the hardest parts of caregiving is knowing when more help is needed. This is often where guilt shows up. Caregivers compare themselves to others who made different choices, or to the version of the future they once imagined. When reality looks different, it can feel like a personal failure. But there is no universal scale for dementia care. Every situation is different. Medical needs, personalities, family dynamics, finances, and support

Dementia Care Tips | Adria Thompson on Instagram: "ˣ When I first heard about @getJubileeTV, I’ll be honest, it kinda sounded too good to be true. You’re telling me I can check in on my loved one, video call with them (and it just pops up on their TV!?), and even manage the volume or apps remotely… and it’s simple to use? Thankfully, I got the chance to try it out and wow, it’s an incredible technology! It really does let you care from a distance while helping your loved one feel connected and s

Dementia Care Tips | Adria Thompson on Instagram: "What do you do when your loved one refuses home care? This is one of the hardest situations caregivers face. Accepting help can feel like giving up control, especially for people with dementia who may not recognize they need help at all (thanks to anosognosia). Sometimes the answer is creativity. Framing home care as: • Help for the caregiver • A chance to mentor or teach • A favor to someone in need • Support for the pet • Or simply, extra hand
