How to manage behavioral changes in a person with dementia at home?
Permalink  
 

Ive been taking care of my mom at home since she was diagnosed with early-stage dementia last year. Lately, shes started getting really agitated in the evenings, and sometimes she accuses me of things that didnt happen like hiding her purse or talking about her behind her back. I know its the illness, but its really hard emotionally. Anyone else dealing with this kind of behavior? How do you stay calm and supportive?

Yeah, Ive been there. My grandfather had similar episodes especially around sundown. We found that keeping his routine super consistent helped reduce those outbursts. Also, having quiet time before bed (no loud TV, less light) seemed to calm him down. We ended up working with a care team from All American Home Care, and Dementia Home Care Services gave us a lot of tips on communication and redirection small changes that made a big difference.

Sometimes its just about observing what sets them off. Ive seen people react to things like background noise or even someones tone of voice. Its not always obvious. It helps when everyone in the house is on the same page and knows how to de-escalate things before they get worse. Patience gets tested daily, but having a plan makes it less overwhelming.

The platforms ability to maintain a dynamic catalog featuring the latest arrivals alongside competitive clearance items ensures it remains relevant and accessible to a wide range of customers, from those who wish to integrate the most current design trends into their projects to those who require budget-conscious solutions without sacrificing quality external door handles with lock and key. The availability of finishes ranging from soft, warm bronzes to cool, modern chromes, along with textures and designs that suit everything from rustic country homes to minimalist urban apartments, offers an impressive degree of flexibility in design planning.
