In dementia caregiving, saying "yes" to keep your loved one happy can sometimes put them at risk. In this video, you'll learn why safety must come before constant smiles and how to set limits without drowning in guilt. I'll share real examples of situations caregivers face, like driving, cooking, finances, and living alone, where "yes" can quickly turn into harm. You'll also hear a simple motto that helps caregivers feel more confident saying no: "Love says no when yes is dangerous." What about you? Have you ever had to say no to your loved one for safety reasons? Share your experience in the comments so other caregivers know they aren't alone.
