What's a good way to address my grandfather who suffers from dementia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Support material: No one answer fits all. I still like "the 36-hour day" by dr. Peter rabins. There are many other resources but specific behaviors are each considered individually. I teach that no bevavior is random. We just need to figure out what your loved one has lost the capasity to tell you.
