Yet, there are things you can do to help a loved one with Dementia daily:
- Be positive in your communication
- Limit distractions when communicating
- When you speak to a person with Dementia, be clear and literal
- If you are going to ask a question, make sure it is one they can answer
- Be a good listener and understand that they are trying to communicate with you clearly, even when they can not
One of the most positive things that can be done is to assist them in finding a retirement community that has an advanced, caring assisted living community within the community. Your loved one will still maintain as much independence physically and mentally as possible, yet they will be taken care of in the ways that are most necessary.
