There is no typical day for a person with Alzheimer’s or other related dementia. Each Day is different for each resident. Sometimes seniors wake up and start the morning out cheerful and happy. A short time later, this feeling of being on top of the world can quickly turn into a state of Confusion, Anxiety, mental agitation, disorientation or even depressed behavior.
The ravages of dementia play havoc on the mind. We can make a difference if we align our expectations with the needs of our Residents.
There are however activities and programs that are proven to increase well-being and possibly even help seniors to flourish.Each individual is unique and so is their dementia. Residents with Frontal Lobe Dementia may respond differently to those with Dementia with Lewy Bodies or Alzheimer’s Disease while yet other people with Dementia related to Traumatic Brain Injuries may respond differently to those with Dementia related to Old Age.It is important to understand these different types of dementia in order to effectively manage the ups and downs of a Senior Living Community residents day, while bringing Comfort and Joy together with Loving Care into their Daily Lives.
