I agree with your statement that even with dementia our Golden Oldies are still the essence of who they've always been. And, to "create a safe space" is part of a caregiver's goal. Please do encourage the use of these caregiving terms in Canada! :-) Dear Ellen,

Welcome to TLeC! I agree with your statement that even with dementia our Golden Oldies are still the essence of who they’ve always been. And, to “create a safe space” is part of a caregiver’s goal. Please do encourage the use of these caregiving terms in Canada! :-)

I'm going to twitter about this. Your topic also makes me think about the words we use to speak to our elders. So many people just don't get dementia & don't realize that the person they knew is still buried inside if they take the time & trouble to create a safe space for them to come out into.

I agree that it does matter. I'll try and use words that don't scare, but inspire as we plan for a long future! Thanks Linda. I appreciate the new vocabulary!
