@drgeriatrics: Sometimes correcting someone with dementia can make a difficult situation worse. Understanding the emotion behind their words may help you respond differently. I'm a geriatrician sharing practical tips for dementia caregivers. Save and share this with someone who needs it. #DementiaCaregiver #Alzheimers #DementiaCare #CaregiverSupport
This is what I tell all my friends starting this journey. It made the last 6-8 months (w my very difficult mother) actually pleasant. I tell them that if the patient says the sky is green w pink polka dots, tell them how beautiful that sounds and ask a question or two about it. Just agree and move on. This eliminates soooooo much stress in this very difficult and sad dementia situation.
