Listen Later

Do you have a loved one with dementia? 

Are you overwhelmed with all the information out there (much of it conflicting), leaving you even more confused and not knowing what to do?

If so, then listen on. This week’s episode provides some practical do’s and don’ts when it comes to helping your loved one.

Yes, there are several do’s  and don’ts  to helping a loved one with dementia. Here are a few key things to keep in mind:

Do be patient and understanding. Dementia can be challenging to deal with, both for the person who has it and their loved ones. Remember that you should never be overly critical or judgmental, as this will only strain your relationship. 

Don’t expect your loved one to remember everything. One of the hallmarks of dementia is forgetfulness, so don’t feel offended if they can’t always recall essential details about their lives. Instead, remind them gently and move on.
