Caring for someone with Alzheimer's isn't about having all the right answers—it's about responding with compassion.
In this episode of Parenting Up, J Smiles sits down with Dan Phillips of the Alzheimer's Association to discuss practical Alzheimer's caregiving strategies that can reduce stress for both caregivers and loved ones.
Together they explore:
• Why redirecting works better than correcting
• Early warning signs of Alzheimer's disease
• Real caregiving stories from Dan's own family
• How to communicate with someone living with Alzheimer's
• Caregiver burnout and why asking for help matters
• The latest advances in Alzheimer's testing and treatment
Whether you're caring for a parent, spouse, grandparent, or friend, this conversation offers encouragement, practical tools, and hope for families navigating Alzheimer's disease.
