Dementia Care
In the early stages of dementia, many people can enjoy life in the same way as before their diagnosis.
But as symptoms get worse, the person may feel anxious, stressed, and scared at not being able to remember things, follow conversations or concentrate. It's important to support the person to maintain skills, abilities, and an active social life. This can also help how they feel about themselves.
How you can help
Let the person help with everyday tasks, such as:
• shopping
• laying the table
• gardening
• taking the dog for a walk
Memory aids used around the home can help the person remember where things are. For example, you could put labels and signs on cupboards, drawers and doors.
As dementia affects the way a person communicates, you'll probably find you have to change the way you talk to and listen to the person you care for. Advance care planning (ACP) is fundamental for everyone living with dementia. It enhances choice, aids delivery of person-centred end of life care, helps to guide care when mental capacity is lost and provides support for families and carers.
