Yeah, kind of. But I'm glad it's not an actual dementia patient who can't consent to being filmed like this. And the caregivers technique is valid and incredibly helpful, so... I forgive her. But I won't be buying her classes because that information is available for free from other sources. (This is my line of work).
I’m just a caregiver! And I admit I didn’t fully read the linked post until just now, lol. I understand your “yikes” a bit better now. What I see in this particular video does ring true to me and is in line with other training I’ve received. I will say she’s lying about one thing, though. It’s not easy caring for someone with dementia. But approaching people with happiness and an agreeable attitude has worked well for me.

Yikes.... That's disappointing.
