Dementia With GRACE 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 a behavior, it ceases to be ¿problem¿ and rather becomes an opportunity for deeper connection.

I believe that 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 love.The techniques you will find in this guide will help you navigate the rough days and steer you toward more graceful days. This approach to behavior management has been developed over years working with people with dementia. In these pages, you will find an approach for just about any behavior that emerges! You will come to understand HOW to manage the behavior by learning WHY certain behaviors occur and WHAT you can do to keep ¿problem¿ behaviors at a minimum. Using a proven, systematic approach to behavior management based on the acronym, G.R.A.C.E., you will you discover the meaning behind each step, and discover how extending and receiving grace can help both your loved one receiving care, AND you as a caregiver.
