Agitation aggression can be distressing for those living with dementia and those who care for and about them. In this episode, we talk with Piper Frithsen, Administrator at Casa de la Luz, about her efforts in building a toolbox for caregivers to manage unwanted behaviors through non-pharmacological means. She helps us untangle the triggers for agitated behavior, how to identify them through focused efforts, and then how to use proven interventions to help meet your person’s basic needs and provide comfort. She reminds us that “there is hope and there is help.”
