Scenario

When family caregivers have conflicting approaches to preserving dignity

My mom and I are both trying to take care of my dad who has dementia but we have completely different philosophies about what help looks like. She wants to do everything for him to keep him comfortable; I want to encourage his independence as long as possible. Every interaction becomes a negotiation about his dignity.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who love the same person are inadvertently working against each other because they haven't aligned on what compassionate care actually means.
