How to Manage Difficult Behaviors in Seniors with Dementia

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.
