Alzheimers Dementia and Other
Behavioral Problems

Are you caring for someone at home with Alzheimers dementia or behavioral problems?

Do you have a parent that is a narcissist or a hoarder and now is under your care?

Are you providing care for a parent that has had mental health issues throughout their adult life and now are under your care?

Providing care for an aging family member or friend is challenging. Add mental health or behavioral issues to an already challenging situation and you have a very undesirable and frustrating scenario.

Are you dealing with someone that fights with you when you want them to bathe?

Are you out of ideas for activities to keep your family member busy?

Or maybe you need some ideas that are appropriate for their present functional ability.

Are you frustrated because you cannot get your family member to eat?

Or are you embarrassed by the behaviors they exhibit when around others?

Do Any Of The Above Examples
Hit Home With You

Do you need some suggestions on how to handle some behaviors? Or have you tried and had success with a strategy that you can share with us here.

Share your stories and your experiences here. Help and support one another. Ask questions, overcome your frustrations by sharing.

There is always someone out there that has been what you have been through and will be there to support you.
