In order to communicate effectively with someone suffering from Alzheimer's you need to learn an entirely new way to communicate. Sound easy? It isn't.
We all develop certain patterns of communication over the course of our life. This is the way we communicate.
Most of you probably know a family filled with hot blooded Italians. You might observe them fighting or arguing all the time. You might also notice that they do this, and then almost immediately they shrug it off, acting as if nothing had happen. I suspect this kind of behavior goes across ethnic boundaries.
During the course of your life, you might have learned to correct someone when they say something that is not true. Or, correct them when they get their facts mixed up.
