Supporting someone with dementia often means changing how we communicate, not just what we say. In part two, Dr. Eve Glazier continues the conversation with Kemi Reeves, DNP, GNP-BC, associate director of the UCLA Alzheimer's and Dementia Care Program and director of nursing health care equity at UCLA Health, to focus on the day-to-day realities of caregiving. They discuss how communication, tone, and environment shape interactions, and share practical strategies to reduce frustration and maintain meaningful connections. They also explore the emotional impact of caregiving, including burnout and grief, and the importance of building routines and support systems that can be maintained over time.
