Easter is a time when families and friends come together and celebrate, but the change in routines can be challenging for people living with dementia.

Here are six tips to support people living with dementia to be safe and included over the Easter period.

Keep things familiar: Keep meals as close to their usual time as possible. Make sure the person gets enough rest and sleep. Consider arranging visits so there are less people around together.

Try themed activities: Decorate Easter eggs, write Easter cards, or make Easter foods such as simnel cake. Consider adapting Easter egg hunts with brightly coloured eggs in slightly easier locations.

Find dementia-friendly services: Visit a church with a dementia-friendly service and share stories about past Easter services. Watch Easter celebrations on television or online, for example, or playing hymns they enjoy.

Have a quiet area or room: Try to designate one room or space in the home a ‘quiet area’ where your loved one can relax. Use headphones to listen to music and block out the noise. This will allow the person to enjoy the celebrations at their own pace.

Consider mealtimes: Be mindful of what the person usually eats – a full plate can be daunting for someone who has difficulties with eating. Consider smaller portions or finger foods instead.

Plan ahead: Think about minimising situations where the person with dementia is put on the spot to remember names. Consider giving a gentle reminder each time a new person arrives, or ask people to introduce themselves.

[Image description: An Easter egg-themed infographic titled 'Six tips to help support a person with dementia during Easter features six illustrations, including: a calendar with a moon and clock; two Easter eggs; a church; the silhouette of a person speaking crossed out; an alarm clock with cutlery either side; and a calendar containing ticks. In the same order, the tips read: Keep things familiar; Easter activities such as decorating eggs; Consider dementia-friendly services; Have a quiet area or room; Think about food and mealtimes and Plan ahead.]

⏰ Clocks Spring Forward – But What Does That Really Mean for Care? ⏰

Tonight, we lose an hour as the clocks go forward. While it might feel like a small change, in home care it can have a bigger impact than many realise.

For our care staff, this means a shorter night but often the same workload — early starts can feel even earlier, and routines may feel slightly out of sync. Fatigue can creep in, so it’s important to take extra care, stay hydrated, and look after your wellbeing.

For our clients and their families, this time change can be more noticeable, especially for older adults. Even a one-hour shift can:
• Disrupt sleep patterns
• Increase confusion or disorientation, particularly for those living with dementia
• Affect medication timings
• Impact mood and energy levels

The older generation often rely on consistent routines, so this sudden shift can feel unsettling and may take a few days — or even weeks — to fully adjust.

💡 What can help?
• Keep routines as consistent as possible
• Allow extra time for rest
• Communicate clearly about any schedule changes
• Be patient — with yourself and with others

This small change in time is a good reminder of the importance of compassionate, person-centred care. A little understanding and flexibility can make a big difference.

Let’s support each other through the transition 💚
