If you are caring for a person with dementia, you may sometimes find their behaviour confusing, irritating or difficult to deal with, leaving you feeling stressed, irritable or helpless.

By learning to understand the meaning behind the actions, you will find it easier to stay calm and deal effectively with the challenges that arise.
