The Best Friends Approach to Dementia Care with David Troxel

Dementia care expert David Troxel answers the questions families ask most: what to do after a diagnosis, how to talk to a parent with Alzheimer's, what to do when they say no to everything, activities that actually help, and how to know when it's time to consider memory care. David Troxel, M.P.H., is the co-author of The Best Friends Approach to Dementia Care and the memory care consultant to The Plaza Assisted Living. The Best Friends Approach is an internationally recognized, person-centered method built on empathy, skilled communication, life story work, and meaningful engagement.
