Since communication is vital to quality of life, we who care for
those with Alzheimer’s or other diseases that make understanding
language difficult need to learn unique methods of coping with the
challenge. It’s not easy. When your wife thinks you are her brother,
when your dad thinks his best friend is robbing him, when your
75-year-old mom insists that her baby is in danger – it will be your
challenge to try to find words or actions that will calm your loved one
and redirect his or her thinking.
