You can only imagine how difficult this has been for me. I really appreciate this post and interview. Alzheimer's is one of those things where you just don't know when, how or if it's going to strike. I've never known how to really go about dealing with my aunt's Alzheimer’s, but your interview put things in perspective for me and for that, I truly thank you.

There are so many cool takeaways from this interview that the time just flies listening to Richard. I've listened to it several times and feel like I get something new each time. Glad you liked it.

I am so humbled by his honesty about how family members and community staff should treat others with dementia. Quite an eye opener. We go in and assess an individual in their own home and look at the scatter rugs that aren't nailed down and want to remove them in the name of safety. Wow! that one revelation hit home. We as staff don't engage them in dining rooms. Family members take care of the safety issues them fly off to California. When what is needed is someone to engage and encourage them, and treat this as you would treat any disability. Thank you so much Ryan for giving us the opportunity. - Olga What a wonderful opportunity to get to listen to Dr. Taylor’s experience in his own words and by so doing, listen to the truth about this disease.
