Make Dementia Your B*tch!

Make Dementia Your B*tch!

Caring for someone with Alzheimer's, Lewy Body, Parkinson's Disease, vascular, frontotemporal, or another dementia? Dr. Rita Jablonski, a renowned dementia behaviors expert, explains why behaviors occur: care refusals, illusions, delusions, hallucinations, sexual overtures, shadowing, sundowning, and MORE! People living with dementia have physical, emotional, and social needs--but find it harder to get those needs met. Reconnect with your loved one by learning what is triggering a behavior and how to lovingly respond. Theme music: Closer by Staticinverona (www.tribeofnoise.com).
