Episode Description
Why does someone living with dementia repeat the same question, insist on going home, accuse someone of stealing, or suddenly resist care?
In this episode, Lisa Skinner explains how these behaviors are often connected to fear, confusion, memory loss, discomfort, or the need for reassurance. She shares practical ways caregivers can respond with calm, simple communication instead of arguing, correcting, or escalating the situation.
You’ll learn why identifying the possible trigger behind a behavior can make such a difference, and how reassurance, familiar routines, simple choices, and a person-centered approach can help reduce distress.
