Communication
Repetition
This area requires understanding of the disease and LOTS of patience on the part of the caregiver.
- Respond to the question and redirect the individual.
- Discuss plans such as doctor appointments closer to the time to prepare to leave, rather than days ahead.
- Try placing signs such as "Dinner is at 6:30", on the kitchen table, to remove anxiety and uncertainty about anticipated events.
- Provide safe and simple activities such as folding towels, or matching socks.
