In episode 17, I talked about general ways to prevent care refusals. In this episode, I go a little deeper and talk about how to use 10 specific strategies to derail care refusals in real time. Those strategies are "entering their reality," bridging (an extension of priming), distraction, hand-over-hand, mirror-mirror, caregiver vibes, "ask for help", "apologize with praise," rewards, and rescue.
I show caregivers how to confidently manage dementia behaviors, so that their lives and the lives of their loved ones become easier and calmer. Check out my offerings: https://dementiacentricsolutions.com
