- Offering assistance at the right time to avoid frustration – No one wants another person hovering over them, ready to help with everything. Your aging loved one is still very capable of taking care of themselves. They may just need a little extra support at the right moment.
- Monitoring possible triggers like temperature, noise, or lights – External stimuli can trigger mood changes in individuals living with dementia. We keep a close eye on weather, sounds, and excessive light to mitigate irritation and confusion.
- Adjusting daily routines based on the need for rest or silence – A deviation from a normal routine can create a negative response. However, if our caregivers notice your loved one is overexerting themselves, we’ll step in and suggest a short break to regain composure.
