When someone with dementia is in pain, they may not always be able to tell you.
Instead, you might notice something else.
They become more restless.
They stop wanting to walk.
They’re suddenly irritable or agitated.
Their sleep changes.
Or they simply don’t seem like themselves.
For families, it can be heartbreaking to know that someone you love is uncomfortable but not know how to help.
Chronic pain should not simply be accepted as part of getting older.
And when dementia or other complex health conditions are involved, understanding and treating that pain may require a different approach.
Dr Liz specializes in caring for older adults with dementia and complex medical needs, helping families look beyond the obvious symptoms and understand what may be contributing to their loved one’s discomfort.
Through telemedicine consultations, families can access Dr Liz’s geriatric expertise from the comfort and familiarity of home, something that can be particularly helpful for a person living with dementia.
Your loved one deserves to be as comfortable, engaged and able to enjoy life as possible.
Don’t let ongoing pain become their “new normal.”
If you’re concerned about pain or changes in behaviour in someone you love, reach out to Dr Liz Geriatrics for compassionate, experienced guidance.
