Five Dementia Tips To Help You Interact More Positively With Your Loved One Without Feeling Like It Is a Burden

1) Capture their attention! Remember, dementia patients have a shorter attention span compared to others. Make an effort to establish eye contact when you communicate with them

2) Keep it simple and impactful. Avoid using complex language and instead opt for clear, straightforward words that resonate with their hearts.

3) Engage them with captivating questions that require a simple “yes” or “no” response. Be patient and allow them time to reply before moving on to the next question.

4) Break down every activity into manageable steps, offering guidance and support throughout the process. This way, you can ensure they comprehend and participate fully.

5) Bring forth your positive energy! Infuse your tone with warmth, enthusiasm, and encouragement. Remember, your body language and voice convey profound meaning, so let your passion shine through each interaction. Let’s make every moment count!

What are The 7 Stages Of Dementia?

Commonly known as “The 7 Stages Of Alzheimer’s”, this Resiberg framework is used to measure the effects of dementia on an individual. These are as follows:

Stage 1 Dementia. No impairment – Dementia isn’t detectable and there are no memory problems

Stage 2 Dementia. Very mild decline – The individual may experience very minor memory problems

Stage 3 Dementia. Mild decline – Cognitive problems are noticeable

Stage 5 Dementia. Moderately severe decline – Additional assistance is required with most day-to-day tasks

Stage 6 Dementia. Severe decline – The individual requires constant supervision and professional care

Stage 7 Dementia. Very severe decline – The individual loses the ability to communicate or respond to their environment

Why choose live-in dementia care?

Friends and family can still visit as easily as before.
An individual’s own home is filled with happy memories, which can be both stimulating and comforting to those living with dementia.
While in their own home, an individual is less likely to be awake during the night. If they do struggle to sleep, there is someone there just to look after them on a one-to-one basis.

Live In Dementia Care Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Dementia Care?

Dementia care is where a package of care is delivered from expert carers for individuals with a diagnosis of dementia who may longer be able to live independently at home. This type of care is to help maintain the psychological and physical well-being of dementia patients, but above all to keep them safe.

Can dementia get worse suddenly?

Symptoms of vascular dementia are similar to Alzheimer's disease, although memory loss may not be as obvious in the early stages. Symptoms can sometimes develop suddenly and quickly get worse, but they can also develop gradually over many months or years.

What causes dementia to worsen?

Damage to small blood vessels deep in the brain can cause dementia that worsens gradually, like Alzheimer's disease. When damage is due to a major stroke (potentially due to the blockage of a major blood vessel) or a series of small strokes, symptoms occur suddenly

Can dementia get better?

Treatment of dementia depends on its cause. In the case of most progressive dementias, including Alzheimer's disease, there is no cure and no treatment that slows or stops its progression. But there are drug treatments that may temporarily improve symptoms.
