Communication can become more challenging as dementia progresses. Sometimes, even well intentioned comments can create frustration, embarrassment, or anxiety.

Instead of correcting, testing their memory, or reminding them of what they’ve forgotten, try meeting them where they are.

Don’t say:
🚫 “Don’t you remember me?”
🚫 “I just told you that.”
🚫 “You’re wrong.”
🚫 “You should know this.”
🚫 “Why can’t you just…?”

Try instead: reassure, validate, redirect, and listen.

The goal isn’t to win an argument or prove what’s true. The goal is to preserve dignity, reduce distress, and maintain connection. 💜

September is World Alzheimer’s month. More than 7 million Americans and over 55 million people worldwide live with Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease is more than forgetting names or misplacing things. It can affect communication, judgment, behavior, safety, relationships, and a person’s ability to manage everyday life.

Having a trusted advocate walk this diagnosis with you ensures continuity of care, recommendations as conditions change, and support.

Understanding the disease helps us respond with greater patience, compassion, and empathy. 💜

September is World Alzheimer’s Month. While there is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, early planning, compassionate support, and coordinated care can make a meaningful difference. No one should have to navigate the journey alone. 💜

Building healthy habits is important because small, everyday behaviors can have a compounding effect on your health over time. And learning how to make lifestyle changes now will come in handy when life gets busy or if health concerns crop up. To build healthy habits that stick, start with small, achievable goals, and build on them over time. And remember: You don’t have to be perfect. Health isn’t all-or-nothing, and every day is a new chance to make good choices.
