This week Barbara talks to NYU professor and filmmaker Linda Mills, whose mother was diagnosed with early onset dementia in 2011. Linda describes her mother’s traumatic escape from Nazi Vienna as a small child in the 30s. She and Barbara discuss how hard it is for dementia sufferers to articulate their frustrations -- and how caretakers need to learn how to listen to their loved ones in a new way. They also discuss the complexities of transitioning loved ones out of the home or between different assisted-living situations, and why transitions often evoke decline.
