When your loved one resists getting dressed, asks the same question repeatedly, or suddenly becomes agitated—it's not random. It's communication.

In this episode, dementia coach Dawn Platt teaches you the "detective work" approach to identifying what's really triggering these behaviors. From sensory overload to uncomfortable clothing, small changes can make a huge difference in reducing distress for both of you.

This is the 4th and final episode in our Alzheimer's Awareness Month series—don't miss it!
