Helpful tips for reframing your approach to someone with dementia!

When faced with resistance to care from individuals with Alzheimer's, it's common to perceive it as anger. However, this resistance could be a form of communication rooted in fear, discomfort, or misunderstanding.

Rather than viewing this resistance negatively, we train our caregivers to reframe their interactions with empathy and understanding. It's just one way we put your loved one at the center of their care.

How do you reframe your loved one's behaviors with empathy? Let us know in the comments ⬇️
