Virginia and Steve are joined by Pamela D. Wilson, MS, BS/BA, NCG, CSA.– an international resource for caregivers with over two decades of experience in aging and caregiving– known for her consultations, advocacy, and her book, "The Caregiving Trap: Solutions for Life's Unexpected Changes," as well as her own podcast called “The Caring Generation.” Together, they discuss the challenges of caregiving for parents with dementia, where Pamela delves into common issues such as resistance to advice, navigating difficult conversations, and managing complex family dynamics. She also emphasizes the importance of involving parents in planning, setting boundaries to maintain emotional well-being, and understanding the reasons behind a parent's unwillingness to cooperate.
