Caring for someone with advanced Alzheimer’s disease is a challenge. It can make you feel like you’re on a hamster wheel – running in circles, trying the same things over and over with no effect on your loved one. You may find it challenging to connect with your loved one ad to understand what those living with Alzheimer’s disease are going through. The Busy Caregivers Guide to Advanced Alzheimer’s Disease gives you a model designed to help you understand, cope with, and handle some of the most challenging behaviors associated with this disease. This guide provides you with tools to be encouraging while reinforcing independence and quality of life for your loved one.

In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Stelter and I discuss her dementia connection model and how to use it in your caregiving. The following episode discusses specific challenges you may encounter and ways to tackle them in the most positive way possible.
