These Three Things

The basis of this chapter is offering three suggestions for responding to 99 different situations that are common for dementia—These Three Things. If one suggestion does not work, there are two more to try. If none work, this chapter should be a springboard for utilizing creative critical thinking to work through options for each unique situation. It would be impossible to address every single situation that may arise. Space is provided at the end of the chapter to work through unique situations because “When you’ve seen one person with dementia, you’ve seen one person with dementia.”
