Is Guided Meditation an Effective Tool for Managing Dementia-Related Behaviours? with Katie Fournier, USA
In this episode of Dementia Caregivers` Corner Podcast, I’m joined by Katie Fournier, LPN, CDP from Ember Holistic Care in the USA as we continue our discussion on non-medical approaches to managing dementia-related behaviors. Building on our previous conversation with co-founder Shari Flight, we explore effective holistic strategies that prioritize compassionate care before turning to medication.
What we cover in this episode:
Effective holistic approaches for managing dementia-related behaviours.
How to personalize non-medication strategies for each individual.
Common misconceptions about holistic dementia care and how to address skepticism.
The benefits of mindfulness and meditation for individuals living with dementia and their caregivers.
Plus, we end with a special guided meditation designed to bring calm and connection.
Key Takeaways
Holistic Approaches Can Reduce the Need for Medication – Non-medical interventions, such as sensory stimulation, music therapy, and environmental adjustments, can effectively manage dementia-related behaviors before turning to medication.
Personalized Care is Essential – Dementia affects each person differently, so tailoring interventions to individual needs, preferences, and history leads to better outcomes and improved well-being.
Mindfulness & Meditation Benefit Both Caregivers and Individuals with Dementia – Practices like guided meditation and breathing exercises can reduce stress, enhance emotional connection, and create moments of calm for both caregivers and those they support.
