When Behavior is Changing Due to Dementia
Posted By Maryann Porosky On JANUARY 07,2016
One of the most difficult aspects of caring for someone who with dementia are their changes in behavior. Here are five tips that I have taught caregivers that can make a difference.
-
Try not to take negative behavioral changes personally.
-
Remain patient and calm.
-
Explore pain as a trigger for behavioral changes.
-
Don’t argue or try to convince or ask why.
-
Accept behaviors as a reality of the disease and work through the difficult moments.
