Communicating and Dementia

Hey, I'm back after a long hiatus. Sorry, not really used to a schedule :p
Our Caretaker, R, has had a difficult time communicating with Claire recently. One thing I've learned is if what you are doing is not working then trying something new "usually" yields a different result. That's the theory anyway. It's been difficult for us to communicate in a way Claire understands. I can't imagine what it's like for someone who is new to the country and english is not their native tongue. So, I've been doing research online, looking for dementia tips/links/coping skills.
So here's a couple links that had some good information (first one is from Worksafe BC-a great series of videos):

Please share any others!
Cheers,
M
