It depends. Is it a safety issue, such as when you see your loved one reaching for a hot stove? Or is it a fact that they’ve gotten wrong?

A helpful question to ask yourself: Does this need to be corrected or does your loved one need to be redirected? Otherwise, you can leave it be – and let them guide the conversation.

When a child asks a hard question about dementia, it can be difficult to know what to say. You don’t have to have the perfect answer. You can say you wish they could get better, too.

Tell them that there will be better days and worse days. What children often need most is reassurance, honesty, and the feeling it’s okay to ask questions.

October is National Long-Term Care Planning Month – a good reminder to have that important conversation.

Long-term care planning can mean talking with family about your wishes, considering where and how you’d like to live as you age, understanding potential care needs and costs, and making sure important legal and financial documents are in place.

You don’t need to have every answer today. Starting the conversation is an important first step.

Know your person. Know the signs.

When Capt. “Sully” Sullenberger began showing early signs of Alzheimer’s, the changes were small — and easy to dismiss. His wife, Lorrie, shared an important reminder for families: Pay attention to what’s unusual for the person you know and love.

Changes in memory, behavior or everyday routines may be worth a conversation with a healthcare provider. Recognizing the signs and seeking answers early can make a difference.

Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger details the first signs of Alzheimer’s he noticed before his diagnosis and opens up about treatment, his future and how his family is facing what comes next.

When Grandpa gets angry, a child may wonder, “Did I do something wrong?” Help them understand that dementia can make people feel frustrated, confused or upset. Grandpa still loves them, even when his feelings are hard to understand.
