"How do I convince dad that he has dementia?"
Manage episode 318407203 series 3009186
Like I’ve said in past episodes: we can’t convince people living with dementia of anything that’s not in their reality. So, bad news if you are trying to convince them that they have dementia.
Here’s my argument – why would you WANT to? Even if you convince them for a couple of hours that they have dementia, what happens the next day? Are you going to re-convince them? If a person has forgotten that they have a disease, why would we want to remind them?
This goes for similar reminders, like taking them to the cemetery or showing them obituaries. Just. don’t.
Stay for the entirety of this episode for some tips and advice on this issue.
