I'm new to the world of Alzheimers; my grandma is in stage five and the first in our family to ever be diagnosed. I'm looking for pointers on how to best converse with my grandma when she calls me and is upset saying my grandfather is mean to her and has been hitting her and that she's afraid. He is not harming her physically or mentally. I've tried steering the conversation to another subject, which is fine for awhile and then she'll come back to the subject of hitting and meanness.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.View Thread
