Do you have a loved one or a parent that you care for that has Dementia? It can be very challenging on you, your family and your routine in life. Today, we brought in Christy Tuner, The Dementia Sherpa. She has helped and guided over 1,100 families, teaching and coaching the family member on how to communicate best with the loved one. She knows how frustrating it can be to interact with your parent who has dementia. It is emotional. It is personal.
