It can be easy to overreact when a person with dementia starts to wander off, panicking and insisting they get back inside.

That’s not usually the best approach to dealing with the situation, however. It’s much wiser to appear to support their action, even asking if you can join them. You can then suggest you both go back inside so you can pack a few things first. Once inside, distract the person with something else.

It’s well-known that interesting activities help stimulate the mind of older people, keeping them engaged in life. When they have dementia and also struggle with low vision, however, finding the right activities can be challenging. It’s essential to be creative in coming up with entertaining ideas to help reduce anxiety and agitation, as well as improve sleep.

Keep in mind that the preferences and interests of those with dementia often change over time. While you may want to try some of the activities they used to enjoy, be prepared for some trial and error, and don’t be afraid to try something new to them. Below are nine fun activities that you can use as a starting point:

It’s important for caregivers to treat their seniors as adults and respect the fact that they get to make their own decisions – even if they’re bad decisions. This might include allowing them to smoke or drink, or even eat sweets as a diabetic.

Caregivers should be conscious to not try to take away quality and comfort during this season of life. Trying to keep seniors from bad choices may end up adding a week of life at the end, but at the expense of enjoying their remaining days:
