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.
