The Tender’s Post

There is no "cookie-cutter" approach to caring for someone with dementia. What may work for one person, may not work for another. Similarly, strategies that may have worked for the same person may not work at a different time. It's not about finding a single solution but rather embracing the diversity of options available to us. It's in these grey areas where creative and compassionate caregivers adapt their approaches, tailoring care to meet the unique needs and preferences of each individual..also known as Person-Centred Care... They embrace uncertainty with patience and understanding, fostering a supportive and nurturing environment for the person with dementia. A big thanks to all you do in your role!❤️ We encourage other solutions!

TIPS FOR CAREGIVERS CARING FOR THOSE WITH DEMENTIA At this time of the year with Thanksgiving and families being together, we are often able to spend time with family members we have not seen for a while. Perhaps we have spent more time than usual with our loved ones, and we have seen that mom or dad is slipping. It could be that mom has been battling with health issues she has not told us about. This often happens, and we get more calls from adult children who are concerned about their elderly parents, at this time of year. It is very common with dementia patients, that they don't remember much about their day, but they can tell you about what happened in their youth.

Caregiving for someone with dementia is undoubtedly challenging. However, in stressful situations, finding moments of humour, joy, and gratitude can be invaluable survival tools. Cultivating this attitude can transform tense situations into cherished memories filled with laughter, which will remain with us long after our loved one has passed on. However, we at Dementia Solutions want to remind all caregivers that it's not ideal to argue with an individual living with symptoms of dementia. 😊 We encourage other solutions!
