It’s time to Rethink Dementia🤍

When a friend or relative is diagnosed with dementia it’s natural not to know what to do, but helping someone stay connected, socially active, and doing many of the things you’ve always done together, can help them stay well for longer

Making an effort to maintain social contact can help alleviate symptoms of depression, agitation, sleep disturbance, anxiety and apathy that often come with dementia.
