🧠 Tips for Interacting with a Loved One with Alzheimer’s or Dementia 💚

Communicating with your loved one dealing with Alzheimer's or Demetia is crucial keeping things manageable. We believe these tips will help:

💬 Communication Tips:
• Speak slowly and clearly. Use simple words and short sentences. Give time for them to process and respond.
• Ask one question at a time—yes/no or two-choice questions work best.
• Use names instead of pronouns. Avoid correcting them—focus on feelings, not facts.

💚 Emotional Support:
• Stay calm and positive. Your mood and body language influence how they feel.
• Validate their emotions—acknowledge their feelings without judgment.
• Use gentle touch, like holding a hand or a light touch on the shoulder, for reassurance.

🏡 Daily Interaction:
• Keep a routine—familiar schedules ease anxiety and confusion.
• Offer meaningful activities. Label drawers, photos, and calendars to help them engage.
• Create a calm space with soft lighting, comfortable seating, and minimal clutter.

💚 Let’s support our loved ones with compassion and patience. Every small gesture counts.

Winter Safety Tips for Seniors | Tender Mercies Assisted Living

Cold weather can be dangerous for seniors, so it’s important to take precautions to keep them safe and comfortable. Here are essential tips to protect your loved ones this winter:

✔ Keep indoor temperatures warm: Set the thermostat to at least 68°F to prevent hypothermia, even if they feel warm.
✔ Dress in layers: Encourage seniors to wear multiple layers, including hats, gloves, socks, and slippers to retain body heat.
✔ Choose proper footwear: Non-slip, sturdy shoes help prevent falls on icy or wet surfaces.
✔ Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps regulate body temperature.
✔ Watch for hypothermia symptoms: Be alert for shivering, confusion, pale skin, and slurred speech.
✔ Limit outdoor exposure: If going outside is necessary, dress warmly and keep time outdoors brief.
✔ Check in regularly: Seniors living alone should have frequent check-ins to ensure their safety.
✔ Use space heaters safely: Keep heaters away from flammable items and ensure they are properly secured.
✔ Weatherproof the home: Seal drafty windows and doors to keep the cold out.
✔ Prepare for power outages: Have an emergency plan with backup heating options, warm blankets, flashlights, and extra supplies.

A little preparation goes a long way in keeping our elderly loved ones safe this winter. Stay warm, stay safe, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you need support!
