@kameronsarah: Redirection is a caregiver’s secret weapon. When Dad asks for his parents, I don’t correct him or remind him they’re gone… it would only cause him pain. Instead, I shift the conversation and guide him into something lighter, something that brings him comfort (or laughter). With Alzheimer’s, it’s not about giving the facts, it’s about giving peace. #caregiver #alzheimers #redirection #dementia

My grandma is 102, still has her mind, but recently woke up from a nightmare screaming and crying for her mommy. After a moment she realized her mom had been gone for decades. I can’t imagine what that feels like.

I work with dementia patients. You can't lie to someone whose brain is lying to them. Tell them whatever they need to hear to be safe and happy 💜
