Investigate Before You Medicate in Dementia Care (Part 2)

   • How to Evaluate What’s Working in Dementia...  
Ever wonder why your loved one is acting out, pacing, or leaning to one side? It might not be the dementia—it might be something else entirely. In Part 2 of our “Playing Detective in Dementia Care” series, we explore the “I” and “C” of the DICE approach: Investigate and Create a Plan.

I’ll share a personal story about a scary moment with my husband, Ben, when I feared the worst—but a little detective work revealed a much simpler (and solvable) cause. You’ll learn how to track trends, use a caregiving journal, and create realistic, compassionate plans that actually work.

Remember: Behavior is communication. Let’s get curious before we get frustrated.

Watch now to learn:

• What to investigate when new or troubling behaviors show up
• Why tracking symptoms and trends can make you a caregiving superhero
• How a new pillow and some back pain relief helped my husband get his balance back
• Easy ways to create a care plan without getting overwhelmed

Share your story! Have you ever figured out the root cause of a behavior? What did you try, and what worked? Drop it in the comments—we’re learning from each other every day.
