Dementia With G.R.A.C.E.: A New, Positive Way of Dealing with Behaviors in People with Dementia

HELP! My mother calls me constantly...my father wants to go home (and he IS home)...my husband refuses help, refuses medicines, refuses a bath...my person with dementia sleeps all the time OR will not sleep at all! Are you dealing with “problem” behaviors as you struggle to care for your loved one with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia? You are not alone. Are you wondering why “problem” is in quotation marks? Well, read on! I believe that although much is lost at each stage of dementia, there is much that remains. I believe that when you see the “why” of behavior, it ceases to be a “problem” and rather becomes an opportunity for a deeper connection. That's why I developed the G. R.A. C.E. System: Gather Important Life History, Routine & Reminisce, Assess (with PICEM!), Calm, or Excite! For instance, I believe that almost all behaviors are because of an unmet need. By understanding this basic tenet and then using that knowledge to reframe the disease and its effects, we can better meet the needs of those we support. I discuss this in "A" Assess...and teach you all about PICEM...a neat memory tool for YOU the caregiver to quickly assess your person when a new or worsening behavior emerges! Using my "Gather Tool"...the G in GRACE; you, family and friends, other caregivers...can learn more and more about a person with dementia...and connect with the younger parts of themselves that they are expressing as the disease regresses. And SO much more! Along with my book, there are additional ways to be supported by me...as you will notice mentioned in the generous reviews! **I have a Facebook Support Group that centers around the philosophy in the book, and I am inside there every day fielding questions!..come join us! Search "Dementia With Grace Caregiver Support Group" on Facebook! **I have LIVE Support group POP-UPS at different times, different days: to catch ALL the times a caregiver might be available, and the replays are posted in perpetuity! **I have my YouTube channel "Dementia With Grace"... THANK YOU for considering my book and system to add to your collection. I know you have an overload of choices. I hope I can make that choice easier, by teaching you about GRACE! All my love, Vicky
