When Alzheimer’s dementia arrived without warning, Dr. Sheri L. Yarbrough (Praxis Senior Care-Giving Solutions)used her ability to view a circumstance from multiple perspectives to understand what her mother was experiencing. That became the genesis for her care management strategy, the Praxis for Care. Living the Praxis for Care helped create her motto: care-giving is what you do for your loved one; giving-care is what you do for both of you.

In this episode, Dr. Yarbrough and I discuss a range of topics, including identifying your need for support and the specific type of support you require as a caregiver. We also talked about focusing on what remains rather than what is lost, allowing relationships to evolve through your dementia journey, and the important difference between caregiving and giving care.
