Are you prepared for unexpected behaviors in dementia caregiving?

Caregiving for a loved one with dementia is a journey filled with love, challenges, and sometimes unexpected behaviors. One aspect that is often not discussed enough is how to handle sexually inappropriate behaviors. 

These can be particularly distressing, especially for Christian caregivers who strive to care with compassion and understanding.

Sexually inappropriate behaviors can be troubling, but it’s important to recognize that they are often not intentional. These behaviors arise from the brain's physical changes due to dementia. The person’s ability to filter and control impulses diminishes. 

As a Christian caregiver, it's vital to remember that dementia caregiving is not just about the physical tasks but also about spiritual growth. These challenging behaviors are reminders of our shared humanity and the sinful nature that everyone grapples with.
