Show notes

A care partner asked about her mother who is still living on her own, but her personal and home hygiene have started to slip, and she wasn't sure how to bring it up without causing a reaction. Teepa models how to open the conversation gently by starting with the environment rather than the person, and she encourages using a detective's curiosity rather than confrontation to avoid triggering resistance. She also discusses the bigger picture: changes in hygiene is often the tip of the iceberg — a signal that the level of support the person needs isn't yet in place. Learn more at teepasnow.com.
