- Clinicians should listen closely to family members - they know the condition of your patient.
- We need to retrain our mindset to understand that “behaviors” are really forms of communication.
- Clinicians need to understand what the family and front line workers are experiencing on a day-to-day basis.
- Primary Care Physicians should be better prepared to care for patients (and family members) living with dementia.
