Dementia affects memory and cognitive function in older adults, presenting challenges for caregivers due to behavioral changes such as confusion and mood swings. Compassionate, person-centered care that considers individual history and preferences, along with effective communication and environmental modifications, is essential for supporting both patients and their caregivers.
Dementia leads to cognitive impairment and can cause emotional and behavioral changes, including aggression that arises from frustration, confusion, or fear. Effective coping strategies for caregivers include understanding dementia's nature, recognizing triggers, using empathetic communication, and employing non-pharmacological interventions like music and art therapy.
Dementia causes cognitive decline and challenging behaviors that caregivers must manage, necessitating an understanding of the neurological basis of these issues. Effective strategies and self-care for caregivers can enhance support for those with dementia and improve their daily lives.
