Caring for someone with dementia often means finding new ways to connect. Words may fade, but feelings remain.
Here are a few tips that can help:
✔️ Use short, simple sentences
✔️ Maintain gentle eye contact
✔️ Approach slowly and calmly
✔️ Give extra time for responses
✔️ Use touch or a smile for reassurance
💜 Communication is about more than words — it’s about patience, compassion, and presence. At Home Instead, we train our caregivers to bring comfort in every interaction.
