Dementia is a difficult disorder that will impact their life in many ways. As a loving relative, you need to be aware of certain situations that frequently pop up. One such situation, is the tendency of dementia sufferers to declare "I want to go home," regardless of the context. 

When they make this statement at home, your first instinct might be to correct them and inform them about their location. However, this will only increase their anxiety. The right move is to remain calm and make them feel secure. Their disorder impacts their ability to communicate, so they are trying to tell you about some other form of discomfort, and these are the words that come out. Your job is to reduce their anxiety by being calm and listening to their needs. 

For trusted help dealing with these situations and much more, our dementia care is the right solution for you and your loved one in the Plainwell area.
