   Holidays and Dementia: Part 2

   Let us help you this holiday season! You may have family members in town interacting with your loved one for the first time in a while. Maybe Mom has declined, or Dad is more forgetful, or your spouse may not be as verbal as they used to be. You've learned a lot about dementia recently, and educating your entire family on best practices in dementia care is a lot to put on yourself. Let us help! Share some of our content with your family and loved ones so they can gain a better understanding about how to communicate living with dementia. Finally, remember to manage your expectations. It's okay for things to be imperfect.
