OPEN MIC Exposes The Truth About Repetitive Phone Calls & A Solution

OPEN MIC  Exposes The Truth About Repetitive Phone Calls & A Solution Today, Kirstin Thomas, Co-founder of KindredMind, joins our host, Lori La Bey, to share their new technology leveraging AI to reduce caregiver stress and increase the comfort of a person living with dementia. If you are caring for a loved one living with dementia, you most likely have dealt with repetitive behavior at one time or another. Repeated phone calls are one of the things we hear from families constantly, which causes them great stress and guilt. Not having the time to answer and respond to a loved one’s calls or not knowing how to calm them down and remove the anxiety they are feeling over what they keep asking over and over again. Well, it just gets overwhelming. Yet what we don’t discuss much is what’s behind the need for these repetitive calls. Today, Kirstin will give us some great insights as to the “whys” and a solution, KindredMind, that she created due to her own experience caring for her mother, who would sometimes call her 10 times before lunch.   Alzheimer’s Speaks Blog Post https://alzheimersspeaks.com/open-mic-exposes-the-truth-about-repetitive-phone-calls-a-solution/ Watch the Video Interview Below https://youtu.be/3EfyuAjKY_M Listen and Subscribe to Alzheimer’s Speaks on Apple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/open-mic-exposes-the-truth-about-repetitive-phone/id986940432?i=1000767310069 Listen and Subscribe to Alzheimer’s Speaks on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/2RKaTt5IcDhgASIpg2OweS?si=asvKyiMNS5uq9VLzekGV5A Other Podcasts https://pod.link/986940432 Dementia Map https://dementiamap.com/your-loved-one-keeps-calling-the-truth-about-why-repetitive-dementia-phone-calls/   OPEN MICs on Alzheimer's Speaks podcast's mission is to shift dementia care from crisis to comfort around the world, one episode at a time.  We love raising all voices and delivering sound news, not just sound bites!  We invite you to tell us how you are improving dementia care on our next OPEN MIC.  We just ask all parties to hold to have a respectful conversation.
