Sundowning is a common phenomenon in people with dementia, particularly in those with Alzheimer's disease and dementia. It refers to a set of symptoms that usually appear in the late afternoon or early evening and may continue into the night. Sundowning can be challenging for both the person with dementia and their caregivers since it can disrupt the daily routine, cause stress and frustration, and increase the risk of falls. To manage the symptoms of sundowning, establish a predictable routine and create a calm and soothing environment for your senior loved ones.
