Dementia Care in Torrance: How To Help When They Say They Want To Go Home

Reduced verbal communication skills are a common side-effect of dementia. As a result, you will often hear your loved one say "I want to go home," when they are already in their home. This is their attempt to communicate something else. It can mean they are suffering from a new source of physical pain, feeling sad or lonely, or any number of other reasons. With our professional dementia care, Visiting Angels® Palos Verdes - Torrance can help you support your loved one in times like these. 

Dementia can affect your loved one's life in many ways. With reduced ability to communicate and lowered cognitive abilities, it's important to listen to them and recognize their needs, even when they are saying something that doesn't make any logical sense. Do not argue with them or attempt to inject reasoning, as this will just make them more upset. 

You should calmly and lovingly listen to them and attempt to redirect their attention. Asking for help with a simple task like folding towels is a great way to engage their brain and distract them from the stressful moment. Always remember they are likely to experience a great deal of fear and anxiety during these situations, so the best thing you can do is provide a soothing and stable presence.
