Welcome to the Care and Dementia Podcast! I’m your host, Gemma Clay. Today, we’re diving into a topic that touches the hearts of many caregivers: navigating the daily challenges of supporting a loved one with dementia or cognitive decline.
Caring for someone with dementia can often leave you feeling uncertain, especially when it comes to correcting them during daily activities. This can lead to confusion and distress for both the caregiver and the individual. That’s where the Validation Method comes in—a compassionate approach that invites caregivers to meet those with dementia in their reality, providing empathy and understanding.
In this episode, we’re excited to welcome Vicki de Klerk, Executive Director of the Validation Training Institute.
Vicki will share her insights on this transformative technique, which was originally introduced by her mother, Naomi Feil, in the 1970s. Naomi’s pioneering work emphasised stepping into the world of those who are disoriented, recognizing that there is always a reason behind their behaviour.
Vicki has dedicated her career to continuing this legacy, teaching the Validation Method with the same passion that her mother brought to the field over 60 years ago. She’ll not only discuss the principles of validation but also share her personal experiences caring for her own mother as part of a family team.

Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Care and Dementia Podcast . I'm your host, Gemma Clay, and today we’re diving into a topic that affects many families across the UK: young onset dementia. It's estimated that almost 71,000 people in the UK who have dementia are under the age of 65. This condition, known as young onset dementia, can manifest with symptoms as early as 30, making it an especially challenging diagnosis for those affected - and their loved ones. In today's episode, we’re sharing an insightful webinar with Jules Knight, a Consultant Admiral Nurse specialising in young onset dementia with charity Dementia UK. Jules brings her expertise to the table, offering support, guidance, and strategies for those facing the unique challenges of this diagnosis. She also answers questions that many families have but often struggle to find answers to. Dementia is difficult at any age, but young onset dementia comes with its own set of obstacles. Jules will help us understand what it means to live with this diagnosis and how to manage the changes it brings. Before we dive into the interview, a quick note: There are limited tickets available for future Sweet Pea Care webinars, so if you’re interested in more discussions like this, be sure to book your free ticket soon at sweetpea.care under the ‘help and advice’ tab.

Welcome back to "The Care and Dementia Podcast," I’m your host, Gemma Clay, founder of Sweet Pea Care . Today, we're addressing an issue that many caregivers face – falls and the fear of falling. Statistics show that half of people over 80 will experience at least one fall a year, and two-thirds of them will fall again within 12 months. Those numbers are daunting, but don't worry, we’re here to help. In today’s episode, we’re joined by Dr. Tom Adler, a fall prevention expert and founder of Bide , a revolutionary fall prevention device designed to reduce nighttime falls. Tom will share his personal journey as a caregiver and GP for over 30 years, witnessing the impact of fall-related injuries on individuals and their families. We’ll discuss practical tips to prevent falls and emphasise the importance of focusing on prevention rather than just detection. Plus, Tom will answer some of the most pressing questions about keeping your loved ones safe. This conversion is taken from a recent Sweet Pea webinar so you’ll hear questions from family members just like you. Dr. Adler came up for the idea for his Bide device after realising that most technologies focus on detecting falls rather than preventing them, Tom created Bide to support vulnerable and frail older adults at night. Discreet enough to sit on a bedside table, Bide is designed to make a significant difference.

Welcome to "The Care and Dementia Podcast". I’m your host, Gemma Clay, founder of Deerly, and today we’re discussing the powerful impact of music on dementia care. Music has a unique ability to touch our hearts and influence our emotions. For individuals living with dementia, it’s a tool that can help them reconnect with their memories and find joy. Whether it’s the timeless tunes of The Beatles, the soothing voice of Frank Sinatra, or the joyful sounds of children rehearsing for a school concert, music can profoundly affect mood and well-being. In this episode, we’re joined by Pam Ribbeck, Communities Officer at Playlist For Life. Pam will share how personalised playlists can be created to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and strengthen connections with family and carers. She’ll offer practical advice on incorporating music into daily routines, helping caregivers create a personalised playlist of favourite songs. The benefits are remarkable: managing symptoms of dementia, making daily tasks more manageable, and evoking precious memories that help families and carers connect on a deeper level. Over two decades of scientific research have shown that listening to a personalised playlist can significantly enhance the lives of those living with dementia.
