You bring the groceries, you offer to help, and she says no — again. In this episode, retired Occupational Therapist, Certified Aging in Place Specialist, and Dementia Care Specialist Esther Kane explains what a parent’s refusal is actually made of, why explaining it better never works, and how to sort your worries into the ones worth fighting for and the ones to let go. She also covers what changes when memory loss is part of the picture, when to bring in a doctor instead of the family, and how to cope on the days the answer stays no.
