About this event
Penn’s Village Presents:
Changing Your Dementia Care Mindset
Presented by Emily Gavin
Wednesday, August 13th
11am - 12:30pm
Virtual
Repetitive questions. Personal insults and verbal aggression. Making a mess by rummaging in cabinets and drawers. Why does my loved one with dementia drive me so crazy? The fact is, your loved one is doing the best they can to communicate their needs with a failing brain. This is where you become Sherlock Holmes. Shifting the way you think about the dementia experience has the power to reduce these troubling behaviors and bring you both greater peace.
