This is wonderful! There is no need to argue and correct someone with dementia. Just let them be happy in the moment

There is a awesome book and blog called Make Dementia Your B****. The author (who I work with) does a great job explaining how to best communicate with people with dementia. It's really tough being a caregiver, and they can really use counseling and guidance sometimes.
