@iamgertrudejordan: Sundowning in Dementia typically occurs in the late afternoon and evening. During this time, your LO will experience increased confusion, agitation, mood swings, anxiety, and behaviors will increase. Sundowning is HARD! Here are a few strategies. As always, these strategies may or may not work with your LO. Try different ones to see what works best for you through observation + data collection. 1. Create a daily consistent routine. 2. Minimize environmental triggers (bright lights, strong smells, textures, etc) 3. Stay calm 4. Use music to soothe your LO 5. Create a relaxing environment 6. Avoid OVERstimulation 7. Contact your physician to discuss alternatives like medicine if you cannot control the behaviors. cc: @giavannijordan For more information, visit incaseiforgetconsulting.com #dementia #alz #alzheimersdaughter #alzheimersfight #dementiaawareness #dementiasupport #dementiaresearch #gertrudejordan
