A common change for people living with dementia is that they tire more easily.

The brain often has to work much harder to think, communicate and make sense of what’s happening, which means everyday activities can use more energy than they once did.

Rather than pushing through fatigue, it can help to 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦.

Spreading activities across the day or week, rather than trying to fit too much into one day, can also help conserve energy and support your person to participate at their best.

Understanding fatigue can help you work with your person's energy, making everyday activities more manageable and leaving more energy for the things they enjoy.

💜 After a dementia diagnosis, many families tell me they feel overwhelmed by appointments, paperwork, and trying to keep track of important information.

In this reel, I share one simple strategy that can help: creating a home medical file.

It's a practical way to stay organised, support communication with healthcare providers, and reduce some of the mental load that often falls on families.

If you'd like more practical, strengths-based strategies like this, I'd love to invite you to my free webinar, Dementia Made Simple™.

In the early stages of dementia, many areas of the brain remain healthy and continue to work well.

By focusing on strengths and engaging in meaningful activity, conversation, and c***ection, we can help support thinking, communication, and confidence.

I recently joined a Support at Home Facebook community group to provide helpful tips and also promote my dementia education program.

Well, this program sounds like a total SH*TSHOW!!!

Having worked in community rehabilitation for over 20 years, I have watched our health system go from:

"What is community therapy?" (that was Perth in 2001)....to providing genuinely person-centred, quality therapy services in the home through home care packages and restorative programs.

Now we have Support at Home, and from what I am seeing, families are stressed, anxious, confused, and spending hours trying to chase down explanations for every single extra billed item.

As a small business owner, I understand the enormous cost of running a business. I understand that hourly rates need to reflect all the extras involved in delivering a quality service.

But W.H.A.T. I.S. G.O.I.N.G. O.N?

Why are families trying to decipher invoices like they need an accounting degree?

Why are people worried about making a phone call because it might trigger another charge?

Why does it seem harder, not easier, to access support?

Maybe I'm missing something, but from the conversations I am reading, many families feel overwhelmed before services have even started.

Support at Home was supposed to simplify things.

At the moment, it aeems like many people are spending more time navigating the system than receiving support from it.

Am I the only one seeing this?

I'd genuinely love to hear other perspectives.
