Supporting someone living with dementia can feel confusing, exhausting, and emotionally heavy — especially when behaviors change and nothing that used to work seems to help.
You don’t need to have all the answers. You need support that helps you understand what’s happening and how to respond in real moments.
You May Be Dealing With…
Many families reach out when behaviors begin to feel harder to manage or more emotionally charged — such as agitation, refusal of care, pacing, repetitive questions, or sudden anger.
These moments can leave you wondering:
-
Why is this happening?
-
Did I cause this?
-
How do I respond without making it worse?
Those questions are common, and they’re understandable.
Understanding Comes Before Strategies
Before techniques or tools can help, it’s important to understand why a behavior may be showing up.
Behaviors are often signals of distress, confusion, discomfort, or a shrinking ability to cope — not intentional actions or personality changes. When behavior is understood earlier, responses can feel calmer and more effective.
Ways I Can Support You
Families often start in different places, depending on their needs and capacity. You’re welcome to begin wherever feels most helpful.
You may find support through:
- Clear, practical books that help you understand behavior patterns
- Downloadable tools you can use right away
- Short videos that explain concepts in plain language
- Gentle guidance that helps reduce daily stress and second-guessing
You are not failing. Dementia care is complex, and understanding takes time.
Support should help you feel steadier — not more overwhelmed.
