Navigating daily routines can sometimes be a challenge for those living with dementia. 💙
If you are finding that your loved one is hesitant to start tasks like brushing their teeth or hair, it might not be resistance—it might just be that they need help "jumpstarting" the motion.
By using a gentle hand-over-hand approach, you can help spark their muscle memory and encourage them to participate in their own care. It’s a small adjustment that can make a big difference in maintaining their dignity and independence.
