Welcome to the place where I share dementia tips, strategies, and information for family members caring for a loved one with any type of dementia (such as Alzheimer's disease, Lewy Body dementia, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, etc.)

Today's video answers the question about whether or not your loved one can understand and accept they have dementia or whether they are just in denial. I think it will be helpful for you in understanding why your loved one becomes so upset when you try to give help and let's you know what to STOP doing to avoid ongoing frustration in your loved one. I hope you find it helpful.

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.
