Happy LUMINATIONS® Tip Thursday! ✨
Dementia can sometimes lead to impulsive language like profanity, which is often a sign of frustration, not disrespect. A calm and compassionate response is key.
Tips for responding effectively:
🙂 Stay composed and non-reactive.
Your calm presence can help de-escalate the situation.
🤝 Acknowledge their emotions.
Validating their feelings can reduce tension.
🎨 Gently redirect.
Introduce a soothing activity or topic to engage their attention.
✅ Observe triggers.
Noting what may have caused the outburst helps you address it proactively in the future.
At Grand Living, our LUMINATIONS® program is built to preserve residents' dignity and foster trust. By understanding each resident's unique life story, we can identify and proactively address potential triggers for frustration, ensuring a supportive and calm environment.
