For those of us caring for loved ones living with cognitive change and dementia, engaging them in daily life can be both difficult and rewarding. When it doesn't work, we might see the confusion in their eyes or watch them retreat into themselves. But when we get it right, when we draw them into an activity or conversation, we have given them an invitation to participate in the world for a time. These successful moments can be orchestrated, improved, and created reliably. Getting confident with engaging your loved one is what this guide is all about.
