Caring for Mom- When Siblings Disagree

So, I have two brothers and two sisters. Which, you know, when you consider the caregiving circle, so to say, it’s great to have that. But when it comes down to really making decisions it can be a hindrance. People have different ideas of what exactly Alzheimer’s and dementia are and how you take care of someone. ~ Prisca Mendez Asaro
Here is what Kim and Prisca will be discussing today.

1.    Is having a large family a help or a hindrance when caring for someone with dementia?

2.    What do you do with the sibling who simply checks out?

3.    What about the sibling who is just angry?

4.    How does misinformation create more sibling disputes?

5.    How can the primary caregiver help find a role for everyone?

6.    How did the Alzheimer’s Association help your family?
