  • How to Communicate With Compassion in Dementia Care

    How to Communicate With Compassion in Dementia Care
    2026/09/01
    Communicating with a person living with dementia is about far more than choosing the "right" words. In this episode, we welcome back Hollie Lowe, Certified Dementia Practitioner, for a practical and compassionate conversation about using communication to reduce distress, preserve dignity, and strengthen connection. Hollie explains why a caregiver's body language can be just as important as verbal communication. Facial expression, posture, tone, pace, physical proximity, and the way we approach someone can either help them feel safe—or unintentionally create confusion, resistance, or fear. You'll hear actionable guidance for caregivers, hospice professionals, family members, and anyone supporting a person with dementia. Hollie shares ways to use body language and simple communication techniques to help a person understand and follow directions while still being treated with respect. She also reminds us that effective dementia care requires patience: slowing down, allowing time for processing, and resisting the urge to correct, argue, or rush. Whether you are caring for a spouse, parent, patient, resident, or friend, this conversation offers practical tools for responding with greater calm, confidence, compassion, and understanding.

  • How to Communicate with Someone with Dementia: What Caregivers Need to Know

    How to Communicate with Someone with Dementia: What Caregivers Need to Know
    2026/08/18
    Dementia affects far more than memory. It can change how a person understands language, finds words, follows a conversation, expresses needs, interprets their surroundings, and connects with the people they love. In this episode of Lighting the Path, we welcome Hollie Lowe, LPC, Director of Education and Family Support Services at the James L. West Center for Dementia Care in Fort Worth, Texas. Hollie is a dementia-care expert and certified grief counseling specialist who helps families and professionals better understand the challenges of dementia. You'll hear practical communication guidance for caregivers and healthcare professionals. Most importantly, this conversation reminds us that even when communication changes, every person deserves to feel safe, respected, and connected. For more information about the James L.
