Scenario

When family caregivers have conflicting approaches to dementia care

My mom and I are both taking care of my grandmother with Alzheimer's and we have completely different approaches to her confusion - I try to redirect and keep things light while mom corrects her and gets frustrated trying to bring her back to reality. Our different styles are causing tension between us and I think it's confusing grandma even more when we're not on the same page.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people's different coping mechanisms for witnessing cognitive decline are creating additional instability for everyone involved.
