Tips For DEMENTIA CAREGIVERS Caring for seniors suffering from dementia requires a lot of patience as well as training. The primary responsibility of a caregiver is to reduce stress, lighten up the mood and help seniors manage themselves as well as their day to day activities in a better way. Get to know the person suffering from dementia. Talk to them about their likes & dislikes. Dementia patients can sense your body language & emotional state, so ensure that you stay cheerful in front of them. Make sure that you communicate with them in a manner that works for them. The best way is to take one point at a time. Ensure a comfortable & relaxed environment. Also let them do daily chores on their own and assist in only those activities which they find difficult. When a senior suffering from dementia gets angry, be sure to give them space for some time and if possible, try to find out what triggered the aggression.
