One dreadful effect of #Dementia is the possibility of extremely foul language and racist slurs. Of course there are a myriad of other nasty phrases, threats and delusions going on. Tough to care for your sweet family member who is having these episodes. Worse when 2 caregivers are young Black men. Thing is, we can’t stop it. None of this was ever part of his life or personality. His brain is broken and there are no filters during these episodes.
