Ways to deal with dementia behaviors
On today’s episode, host Lisa Skinner talks about some of the ways to deal with dementia behaviors including some of the do’s and don’ts that she cites from an article she shares with her audience. Because mid-to-late stage Alzheimer’s disease and dementia patients often exhibit challenging behaviors, understanding and learning which strategies are most effective is key.
