"Why Are They Wearing The Same Clothes?"
Dressing and bathing can be challenging for people with dementia due to cognitive, physical, and emotional factors. Dementia can impair understanding of how to perform these tasks, remember the purpose of hygiene, and sequence the steps involved. In this episode, we discuss ways you can help a person with dementia maintain their dignity and preferences while providing support for washing and dressing.
