Living Well With Dementia: Making Moments Matter with Pete & Deb

In this episode of the Able to Care Podcast, Andy Baker is joined by Pete, who lives with dementia, and Deb, his trusted “external memory.” Together, they share an honest and moving conversation about diagnosis, dignity, identity and what it really means to live well with dementia. Pete explains how dementia affected his confidence, friendships and sense of self — and why hiding his diagnosis initially made things harder, not easier. Using powerful metaphors like the “shabby coat,” he shows how people are often treated differently once dementia is visible, even though the person underneath has not changed. Deb offers insight into supporting someone with memory difficulties without taking away autonomy or dignity. She explains how emotional trust, intuition and living in the moment matter far more than reminders or corrections. Together, they challenge carers and professionals to stop focusing on “making memories” and instead focus on making meaningful moments. This episode is essential listening for families, carers, teachers and professionals working in dementia care, health and social care, and mental health, who want to support people with compassion, respect and humanity. 📌 BOOK YOUR COURSE WITH ABLE TRAINING TODAY 🌐 https://www.able-training.co.uk/ 📌 JOIN THE ABLE HUB COMMUNITY 🌐 https://ablehub.uk/ 📖 BOOKS BY PETE & DEB — Slow Puncture and follow-up titles https://www.amazon.co.uk/Slow-Punctur...
