Listen "7. Pam Speta"
Episode Synopsis
Pam Speta is a certified Positive Approach® to Care Trainer and is also a Certified Nursing Assistant. She cared for her husband, Rich, who had dementia, at home. She learned first-hand the remarkable and profound effect that PAC education had on handling the behavior changes she saw in her husband. Forget Me Not Village was born out of the idea of changing the way we treat Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, dementia, and brain injury patients. When Rich, Pam’s husband was diagnosed with MCI at 60, neither of them knew what an impact that would have on their future lives. As a result of this journey, Forget Me Not Family Care Home was born, then came the Village. The concept is simple. Create an environment where families dealing with the disease can help each other in a safe and secure facility. Add an adult daycare in the form of a dementia village and you have created something that has never been done before. An extraordinary episode with Mary Anne and Pam - for ALL caregivers. www.theverandaministries.org www.forgetmenotvillage.org
