About this listen
Dementia care educator Teepa Snow explains why many seniors naturally start spending more time at home after retirement and how this shrinking nest can actually shorten their expected life span. She discusses the value of older adults being involved in activities outside of their home or facility, and she stresses the importance of knowing each individual when supporting them with purpose and engagement.
To understand more ways our brain changes, check out Teepa’s book, Understanding the Changing Brain.
