We are learning more about how to work with the difficult behaviors associated with dementia. Dr. G. Allen Power talked about his unique way of working with people who have dementia by really trying to figure out why are they doing what they are doing. By changing the way we describe behaviors it forces us to take on a different paradigm. Wanderers are really seekers with a purpose. Our goal is find that purpose and address the underlying reasons. Dr. Powers just came out with a new book called "Dementia Beyond Drugs". I have just ordered it and will have my staff read it as well.
