About Dorothy

Although I have 20 years of experience working with the elderly, I find that every new relationship is different. If there is one thing I've learned, it's essential for a caregiver to be patient especially while working with personality and behavior changes in Alzheimer's/Dementia clients. These changes can include sleep problems, sundowners, hallucinations, delusions, and wandering. Things rarely go as planned. Therefore, being flexible and understanding is just as important as patience.
