Hi, thanks for writing in! This is a complicated question and would be better answered via phone. Check out my phone hotline information here.
How can you help a person with dementia adapt to a new caregiver at home when he has been looked after by one person previously? The person with dementia insists that he wants to be with me, or alone. I work from home, but need to go to the office sometimes. I've hired people and he does OK with them, but afterwards he turns into a furious gremlin with me and insists he doesn't want anyone in the house with him.
