As an alternative to psychotropic medications sometimes prescribed to manage behavioral expressions often associated with dementia, we ve developed a comprehensive problem-solving process that includes an entire team dedicated to uncovering the root of the behavioral issue. Sometimes addressing basic issues like pain, hunger or thirst or even an environment that s too hot or too cold, will resolve problems without the need to resort to medication.
