What do you do when the person is stuck in a loop, asking the same question over and over. "When did Dad die? Why didn't anyone tell me?" How do we break through that? We answer the questions, but it doesn't matter. They just repeat. What do you do when the person cannot hear well and was never into music?

I have received a lot of interest on my blogpost, so thank you also for sharing the Training Institute website. I'm fortunate enough to be attending a one-day session here in Indiana led by Naomi Feil on May 12th. I so hope the training and technique spreads rapidly across our country. Stephen,

The assisted living company I work for has been learning, teaching, and implementing the Validation method for over 11 years -- with dramatic benefits to residents and staff. We were the first of what is now five Authorized Validation Organizations across the country, using and sharing Validation with senior care professionals and family caregivers. The book mentioned is a tremendous help for family members and friends (and incidentally was written by Naomi Feil's daughter, Vicki de Klerk, the European Validation Manager.) For information about where you can attend a workshop led by Naomi, or enroll in an in-depth course about practicing Validation, go to the Validation Training Institute website -- http://www.vfvalidation.org. - Steve Klotz, Validation Education Director, Country Meadows Retirement Communities, Hershey PA How great to see a blog about Validation!

I'm sitting here just sobbing at the connection that Naomi made with Gladys. Thank you so much for sharing this post. Everyone who works with Alzheimers' patients should see this. Thank you. God bless Naomi and her fellow professionals. OMG is that YouTube video powerful. I’m sitting here just sobbing at the connection that Naomi made with Gladys. Thank you so much for sharing this post.
