When your loved one resists getting dressed, asks the same question repeatedly, or suddenly becomes agitated—it's not random. It's communication.

In this episode, dementia coach Dawn Platt teaches you the "detective work" approach to identifying what's really triggering these behaviors. From sensory overload to uncomfortable clothing, small changes can make a huge difference in reducing distress for both of you.

This is the 4th and final episode in our Alzheimer's Awareness Month series—don't miss it!

What does it really feel like to live with Alzheimer's disease?

In Episode 3 of our Alzheimer's Awareness Month series, Dawn takes you on an immersive journey through a single day—from waking up confused and disoriented, to the struggle of getting dressed, to the anxiety of sundowning as evening approaches.

But this isn't just storytelling. Throughout the episode, Dawn shares practical coaching strategies to help caregivers navigate these challenging moments with empathy, patience, and love.

Whether you're caring for someone with dementia or simply want to understand this disease better, this episode will change your perspective forever.

Because even when memories fade, love remains.
