Caring for a Loved One with Dementia 💜👑
Posted on 6th December 2024 at 10:11
Watching someone you love navigate dementia is hard, but it’s also a journey filled with lessons about love, patience, and connection.
Here’s how you can support them (and yourself):
✨ Communicate with Care
Speak slowly and clearly.
Use simple language and give them time to respond.
Non-verbal gestures like a smile or touch mean more than words sometimes.
✨ Create a Calm Environment
Keep routines consistent—it’s comforting.
Use visual reminders like labelled cupboards or family photos.
A tidy, familiar space helps reduce anxiety.
✨ Don’t Forget Yourself
Caregiving is tough; it’s okay to ask for help.
Take breaks to recharge—you can’t pour from an empty cup.
Join support groups to connect with others who understand.
✨ Find Joy in the Little Things A shared laugh, a warm hug, or simply sitting together can mean everything. 🌟
Dementia may take away memories, but it doesn’t erase love. Cherish the moments you have—they’re precious. 💕
