Simple guidance for families
Caring for someone with dementia can feel overwhelming, especially when behaviors change and moments feel unpredictable. 
Behavior is communication
Changes in behavior are often caused by confusion, fear, discomfort, or unmet needs. It is not intentional and it is not personal.
What helps in the moment
Stay calm and grounded. Validate feelings instead of correcting. Gently redirect with music, photos, a snack, or a simple activity.
Create comfort and support
Keep routines consistent. Reduce noise and overstimulation. Ask for help when you need it You do not have to do this alone
