Listen Later

Have you ever noticed a sudden, dramatic shift in your loved one with dementia? 

Maybe they recognized you yesterday, but today they don’t know who you are. This sudden confusion can be terrifying for both you and the person with dementia. 

In this episode, we focus on understanding and managing delirium in Alzheimer’s, giving caregivers essential tools to handle these unexpected changes with confidence and calm.

 

The final piece of advice from this episode is to stay calm and compassionate during an episode of delirium. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, especially when a loved one no longer recognizes you. 

However, keeping your emotions in check will help your loved one feel safer and more grounded. After the episode passes, it’s important to reflect on what happened, learn from the experience, and adjust your caregiving strategies going forward.

This episode offers a wealth of insight into managing delirium in Alzheimer’s care. By understanding the causes of delirium, using the PEACE framework, and advocating for your loved one, you can navigate these sudden, frightening changes with more confidence.
