Although people with dementia can be bloody challenging to deal with, they are some of the loveliest people around. What is your favourite memory with your loved one or people you care for?
Why do people usually revert back to being between the ages of 10 and 30? Well it is their most emotional time and as their rationale is affected, it makes sense
When caring for people with dementia we need to know how to deal with them - blaming the residents is never going to get us anywhere
What's your favourite song? We all love music, right? Life without it would be pretty shit and for people with dementia it's even more important. They don't lost their sense of rhythm so focusing on music is so important
If the person with dementia you're caring for gets agitated, it is time to back off. If they feel cornered they may become nasty so giving them a way out and coming back later is much better. Unless it's an emergency there is no need to force it.
Dementia often sends people to the back of their brain, a bit like if a house was falling off a cliff

Going in like a nurse doesn't work when dealing with people with dementia - make up a reason for going in. Whether it's that you need their advice on a knitting pattern or cars, bigging them up means they don't feel helpless
#FactFriday alzheimer's and dementia are not the same thing. Dementia is a broad term for a group of symptoms that mean you have trouble with learning and memory. Alzheimer's disease is one form of dementia, the most common type. But it accounts for only 60% to 80% of all cases.
