Here is part 3 of the 3 part series of helpful lessons on learning the language of dementia.  Through this series that we have posted from Tender Loving Eldercare we can learn how to better communicate and understand a dementia patient.

        Keep in Mind

Our goal is to keep our dementia care recipients as calm and anxiety-free as possible every day. This will help to increase their quality of life tremendously.

Memory loss progresses daily, so please do not take it personally if your care recipient speaks hurtful words to you.  Try putting yourself in their place and imagine how afraid you would feel.

Practice compassion and generosity in your words and actions daily.
