Rodger That

Due to the nature of dementia, it is likely that, at some point, the person you are caring for will need to be hospitalized. Unfortunately, hospitals are not typically well-designed for dementia patients and preparation can make all the difference. Dr. Brittany Lamb knows firsthand the frustration that overwhelmed caregivers encounter when visiting the emergency department. Bobbi & Mike talk with Dr. Lamb about how to help caregivers prepare for these decisions before a medical crisis happens.
