In this episode, occupational therapist and founder of Your Dementia Therapist Mary Osborne explains how OTs act as “detectives,” uncovering the root causes of challenging behaviors like refusal of care, which often stem from memory issues, anosognosia (lack of insight), or trouble initiating tasks. She highlights how occupational therapy helps people maximize their quality of life by adapting daily activities and addresses common caregiver struggles, like refusal of care and the necessity of adapting to dementia’s constant changes. Mary also introduces her “Calm Caregiver Toolkit,” a practical resource that blends neuroscience, spirituality, and mindfulness.
