đź§ Dementia Care Tips for Families
đź’™ 1. Keep a Simple Routine
Consistency helps reduce confusion and anxiety. Try to keep daily activities—meals, bathing, and bedtime—at the same time each day.
🗣️ 2. Communicate Calmly
Speak slowly, use short sentences, and maintain eye contact. If they’re confused, respond with reassurance—not correction.
🏡 3. Create a Safe Environment
Remove tripping hazards, add night lights, and label drawers or doors to help your loved one feel more independent and secure.
🎵 4. Use Familiar Comforts
Music, photos, or familiar scents can bring comfort and spark positive memories—even when words are hard to find.
❤️ 5. Focus on Feelings, Not Facts
If your loved one says something incorrect, acknowledge how they feel instead of correcting them. Emotional reassurance matters most.
🤝 6. You Don’t Have to Do It Alone
Caring for someone with dementia can be overwhelming. Professional in-home care can provide support, relief, and peace of mind for families.
