Restlessness in Dementia

Restlessness is common in people living with dementia and can appear as pacing, fidgeting, repeated movements, calling out, or an inability to sit still. It often happens because the person feels confused, anxious, uncomfortable, or unable to express a need.

Sometimes restlessness is triggered by physical discomfort such as pain, hunger, needing the toilet, fatigue, or medication side effects. In other cases, environmental factors like noise, overcrowding, or unfamiliar surroundings can increase agitation. Changes in routine or feeling lonely can also contribute.

Helping someone who is restless starts with trying to understand what they might need.
Gentle reassurance, offering food or drink, assisting with toileting, or checking for pain can help. Calm environments, familiar music, light physical activity, and maintaining a routine can also reduce restlessness.

Most importantly, remember that restlessness is often a form of communication. Responding with patience and empathy can help the person feel safe and supported.

Thursday thoughts 💭

Something that really made me smile this week and touched me deeply - seeing a picture of my almost 96 year old client and his late wife, when they were young teenagers courting 🥰
These are beautiful moments that you get to share with client’s, reminiscing and remembering those dear to them.
❤️❤️❤️

Did you know there are many different types of dementia?

Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies are four of the most common forms of dementia, and they can all affect people differently.

This is our guide to a few of the most common symptoms for each illness.

Dementia looks different for everyone, so a person’s symptoms may not look exactly as they are described here.

However by knowing the signs, we can make sure that we don’t brush off or ignore some of these lesser-known symptoms, to help everyone with dementia get a crucial early diagnosis.

Save this post for later, and if you’d like more info visit our website or give our Dementia Support Line a call on 0333 150 3456.

Sometimes a person with dementia will behave in ways that are difficult to understand in the late afternoon or early evening. This is known as 'Sundowning'.

Sundowning can happen at any stage of dementia but is more common during the middle stage and later stages.
