Hoarding or hiding items can be a common behaviour for people living with dementia. Often, it stems from memory loss, fear of losing important belongings, or confusion about where things should be kept.

Responding with patience, reassurance and understanding can help reduce distress and maintain trust.
Remember, these behaviours are often a way of communicating a need 💜🫂

You are not alone. 💟

We are incredibly grateful for people like this, who take on extraordinary challenges to raise both awareness and funds for causes that matter.

This May, the Paso a Paso team will be running the entire length of Spain - around 1,400km in just 5-6 days - as a continuous relay, all in support of charities close to their hearts, including GADS.

Challenges like this not only raise vital funds, but also help shine a light on the realities of living with dementia and the importance of ongoing support.

If you would like to support their journey, you can donate here:

Dementia can progress differently for every individual, but understanding the possible stages can help families recognise changes and seek the right support at the right time.💜

Awareness allows us to respond with patience, compassion and reassurance.

If you have concerns about a loved one or would like guidance, GADS is here to support you. 🫂

Sundowning is a common dementia-related experience where confusion or agitation increases later in the day. 🌅

Understanding it helps carers respond with calm, reassurance and compassion.

If you are caring for someone living with dementia and need support or guidance, GADS is here for you. 💜
