You’ve probably read these before but it’s good to be reminded.
If I get dementia please remember:

1a. Every time you enter the room announce yourself. “Hi mum/dad- it’s ………...”
NEVER ask- Do you know who I am??? That causes anxiety.

1. If I get dementia, I want my friends and family to embrace my reality. 🌸

2. If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think we’re visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things. I’ll be much happier for it.❤️

3. If I get dementia, don’t argue with me about what is true for me versus what is true for you.👍🏽❤️👍🏽

4. If I get dementia, and I am not sure who you are, do not take it personally. My timeline is confusing to me.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

5. If I get dementia, and can no longer use utensils, do not start feeding me. Instead, switch me to a finger-food diet, and see if I can still feed myself.❤️🥰❤️🥰

6. If I get dementia, and I am sad or anxious, hold my hand and listen. Do not tell me that my feelings are unfounded.

7. If I get dementia, I don’t want to be treated like a child. Talk to me like the adult that I am. ❤️

8. If I get dementia, I still want to enjoy the things that I’ve always enjoyed. Help me find a way to exercise, read, and visit with friends. ❤️

9. If I get dementia, ask me to tell you a story from my past.

10. If I get dementia, and I become agitated, take the time to figure out what is bothering me. ❤️

11. If I get dementia, treat me the way that you would want to be treated. ❤️

12. If I get dementia, make sure that there are plenty of snacks for me in the house. Even now if I don’t eat I get angry, and if I have dementia, I may have trouble explaining what I need.❤️

13. If I get dementia, don’t talk about me as if I’m not in the room.👍🏽

14. If I get dementia, don’t feel guilty if you cannot care for me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s not your fault, and you’ve done your best. Find someone who can help you, or choose a great new place for me to live.👍🏽

15. If I get dementia, and I live in a dementia care community, please visit me often.❤️

16. If I get dementia, don’t act frustrated if I mix up names, events, or places. Take a deep breath. It’s not my fault.👍🏽

17. If I get dementia, make sure I always have my favorite music playing within earshot.❤️❤️❤️

18. If I get dementia, and I like to pick up items and carry them around, help me return those items to their original place.👍🏽

19. If I get dementia, don’t exclude me from parties and family gatherings.❤️

20. If I get dementia, know that I still like receiving hugs or handshakes.❤️🥰❤️

21. If I get dementia, remember that I am still the person you know and love.”🌼❤️

Someone once said if you take care of someone with dementia you lose them more and more everyday. When they get the diagnosis, when they go through different stages, when they need treatment and when they pass away.

This is called "the longest goodbye ". As the brain slowly dies, they change physically and eventually forget who their loved ones are. They could end up lying in bed, not moving and not eating or drinking.

Did we say we also do enabling visits at Forget Me Not Homecare Services, One of our client's wanted a walk around Northumberlandia yesterday afternoon, which is one of our regular walks we do. It was lovely to see them chatting away to all the dogwalkers and other people out on their walks. It was a bit chilly today but it does not stop our carers going out and about if our client chooses to. Ps this time we did not have to use Google to look up the names of the ducks today. And also checking in on the potatoes we planted when we got home. After all it's all about giving our client's as much independence as possible. If you or your loved one's need enabling days we cover this as well as all tailor made care services. We are only a phone call away 01670 719944
