Why Does Someone With Dementia Try to Go to Work? Learning to Read the Signal
Everyone around him called it confusion. Carlyn came to see it differently, and that shift changed everything.
In this first episode of Navigating Dementia, Carlyn shares the story that started it all: her grandfather Steve, a small-town shopkeeper in Limestone, Maine, who spent his mornings getting dressed for work, for a store that had burned down years before.
That shift in perspective became the foundation for A Better Way: Dementia Care Solutions. It's the story behind why this show exists, and why Carlyn believes behavior is never the problem, it's always the signal.

- The story of Carlyn's grandfather Steve and the store that burned down
