People living with dementia may carry out the same activity, make the same gesture, say the same thing or ask the same question over and over. Repetition may be because of memory loss.

There are some things we can try when supporting someone with dementia who is showing repetitive behavior.

Tips include being patient, keeping a level and calm tone, having an allocated place for an item that is often looked for or finding an engaging activity they enjoy to shift their focus.⁣

Should Mom and Dad Live at Home 🏠?
Here are 5️⃣Warning Signs to look for:

1️⃣ Weight Loss - This is common among seniors but looks for drastic weight loss and consistent fluctuations can be an indicator of other health issues.
2️⃣Medication Mix-ups - Do you see lots of unopened medication bottles? Have they forgotten what each medication is for
3️⃣The Familiar is Now Unfamiliar - Do they seem to be “lost” sometimes and easily disoriented in their own living room? Or at a friend or family member’s home?
4️⃣Defensiveness and paranoia - Unfortunately, it’s more common than you would think, and these are certainly signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, or some other physical illness.
5️⃣Lack of personal hygiene - If your parent neglects daily self-care tasks like showering, dressing, brushing their teeth, etc. – it’s a clear sign that something is wrong.
