When a loved one living with dementia displays sexual behavior, it can be confusing, uncomfortable, and deeply emotional for families. In this week’s episode of Caregiver Chats, Dr. Lakelyn Hogan Eichenberger speaks with Carrie Aalberts, also known as Dementia Darling, a dementia educator and advocate who helps caregivers approach even the toughest situations with empathy and understanding.
