Easter is a time when families and friends come together and celebrate, but the change in routines can be challenging for people living with dementia.

Here are six tips to support people living with dementia to be safe and included over the Easter period.

Keep things familiar: Keep meals as close to their usual time as possible. Make sure the person gets enough rest and sleep. Consider arranging visits so there are less people around together.

Try themed activities: Decorate Easter eggs, write Easter cards, or make Easter foods such as simnel cake. Consider adapting Easter egg hunts with brightly coloured eggs in slightly easier locations.

Find dementia-friendly services: Visit a church with a dementia-friendly service and share stories about past Easter services. Watch Easter celebrations on television or online, for example, or playing hymns they enjoy.

Have a quiet area or room: Try to designate one room or space in the home a ‘quiet area’ where your loved one can relax. Use headphones to listen to music and block out the noise. This will allow the person to enjoy the celebrations at their own pace.

Consider mealtimes: Be mindful of what the person usually eats – a full plate can be daunting for someone who has difficulties with eating. Consider smaller portions or finger foods instead.

Plan ahead: Think about minimising situations where the person with dementia is put on the spot to remember names. Consider giving a gentle reminder each time a new person arrives, or ask people to introduce themselves.

[Image description: An Easter egg-themed infographic titled 'Six tips to help support a person with dementia during Easter features six illustrations, including: a calendar with a moon and clock; two Easter eggs; a church; the silhouette of a person speaking crossed out; an alarm clock with cutlery either side; and a calendar containing ticks. In the same order, the tips read: Keep things familiar; Easter activities such as decorating eggs; Consider dementia-friendly services; Have a quiet area or room; Think about food and mealtimes and Plan ahead.]

🚿 Bathroom Safety Checklist: Keep Loved Ones Safe 🚿

The bathroom is one of the most common places for slips and falls—but a few simple changes can make a big difference! 💙💜

✅ Non-slip mats: Inside the shower/tub and on the floor
✅ Good lighting: Brighten the room, especially at night
✅ Clear pathways: Keep floors clutter-free
✅ Accessible essentials: Towels, toiletries, and medications within reach

Small updates = safer, more confident bathroom use every day!

💬 Talking to Aging Parents About Accepting Help 💬

It can be tricky to bring up support with your loved ones—but the right approach makes all the difference.

Here are some tips:
💜 Start with empathy: Acknowledge their independence and feelings.
💜 Focus on safety & quality of life: Frame help as a way to stay in their own home longer.
💜 Offer choices, not orders: Let them have a say in the type of support they receive.
💜 Share stories: Sometimes hearing how others benefit from help can ease fears.
💜 Introduce small steps: Even a few hours of support can make a huge difference.

At Support Solutions, we guide families through these conversations with care and compassion—helping everyone feel heard and supported. 💙
