Dementia Caregiver Support for Christians: Tips for Alzheimer’s & Dementia Caregivers to Manage Stress, Prevent Burnout & Handle Difficult Behaviors

122. How To Change The Outcome Of Challenging Dementia Behaviors


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered why certain behaviors in dementia care are called "challenging"?

In this episode, we explore how to manage these behaviors using a simple and effective framework. This method can bring peace and clarity to your caregiving journey.

Understanding Behaviors

Dementia often magnifies normal human behaviors. What may seem challenging is usually an attempt by your loved one to communicate. Recognizing this can change your approach and improve outcomes.

Introducing the PEACE Framework

To address these behaviors, a repeatable framework called PEACE can be invaluable. Here’s how it works:

P: Person with Dementia - Focus on their immediate needs and feelings.

E: Environment - Consider the setting and its impact.
A: Activity - Look at the activities they are engaged in.
C: Caregiver’s Response - Reflect on your reactions and responses.
E: Evaluate and Educate - Assess the situation and learn from it.
Real-Life Example

 

Remember, challenging behaviors in dementia are a form of communication. By using the PEACE framework, you can better understand and respond to your loved one’s needs. This approach not only makes caregiving easier but also strengthens your bond with your loved one.
