Music and photos work really well. Of course continue talking and show love and affection

@Jenny1234 it often depends on the person's demeanor to begin with. My dad was a hard driving Type A who still tried to do that which he was incapable.

They are the toughest patients

@sladejr yes some if the patients are difficult. My mother connected with us through music. The photos helped too for a fleeting moment
