Caring for someone with dementia is hard, but making sure to support them correctly will make that easier for you.

Always treat them with respect and dignity

It is best to focus on what the person can do, rather than what they can’t. Promote positive thinking and encourage them to complete tasks they are comfortable with.

Be a good listener and always have a friendly manner

Having patience is key. Support and accept that the person may be incorrect with certain things, but don’t always be so quick to correct them on everything.

Check in on others as well

It is not just the person suffering from dementia who is effected. Their partner, children and grandchildren will be affected. It has an effect on everyone. Think of the support you could offer to them, can you do something to help one of them.
