Care Strategies

Caring for someone with dementia can prove to be a challenge. At times it can be rewarding, at other times, it might feel stressful.

Have unique challenges and unsure of how to manage?

  • Repetitive questions 
  • Physical aggression or posturing
  • Emotional ups and downs
  • Accusations 
  • False memories or hallucinations
  • Denial
  • Unexpected or socially inappropriate behaviours
  • … Or anything under the sun

 

We offer a workshop for that.

Sometimes, creative solutions can be implemented at home to address a specific challenge. 

Example: Repetitive questions causing frustration

Optional Solution: Some caregivers have found that having a whiteboard in a common or favourite area (where the person frequents) reduces repetitive questions. They itemize the activities of the day or other important information for the household. What’s more, it becomes an activity because everyone can contribute to it.
