How To Get Someone With Dementia To Accept Help

You can’t use a cookie-cutter approach when you are caring for a perso with dementia. It doesn’t matter whether you are working with someone who has Alzheimer’s disease or Lewy body dementia, the emphasis must be on the person not on the disease. In this video, I talk about how to get someone with dementia to do what you want using the example of getting someone with dementia to move into a nursing home. Your plan for getting someone with dementia to move in a care facility can’t be trying to convince them. That usually makes things worse and doesn’t work. Instead, learn the questions every caregiver must ask themselves when trying to help someone with dementia.

In case you haven’t met me, my name is Natali Edmonds and I am a board certified geropsychologist. That means that I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with older adults. One day, while hiking a trail, I came up with the idea for Careblazers and I decided to see if posting videos online could provide help to the many other Careblazers in the world who don’t get to have help come directly to them in their homes. I hope that this work helps you in some way on your caregiving journey.
