On the Eleventh Day of Christmas… Communication is Key!

• Keep conversations to one topic. Multiple conversations occurring at the same time may prove overwhelming to your loved on.

• Using long pauses between sentences can increase your loved one’s ability to understand what you are communicating, and will help with their delay in processing.

• It is very common for someone with cognitive impairment to ask about loved ones who have passed, to look for their mom or dad, or to make statements that you know to be inaccurate. In your loved one’s mind, all they are saying is true. It is best to enter into their reality and redirect the conversation to a different topic rather than to correct them.

On the Tenth Day of Christmas… Consider Preparing a De-Escalation Space.

Despite all of our best efforts to prepare and prevent issues, your loved one may still become overwhelmed.

Preparing a special room in your home that your loved one can go to if they get overwhelmed. This room can be equipped with soft lighting, light music and some familiar items that your loved one will recognize.

On the Ninth Day of Christmas… Be Aware of Visual Spatial Changes.

Did you know that many forms of memory impairment also cause visual spatial changes in an individual? Here are some helpful tips to use at home to ensure that your loved one remains safe.

• If your bathroom has white or light-colored walls behind the commode, this may make it more difficult for your loved one to identify the location of the commode within the space, potentially leading to your loved one missing the seat when sitting, or decrease accuracy with aim for your male loved one. Monitoring bathroom usage and being available to provide assistance will help to keep them safe.

• Consider using red or other colored place setting when serving your loved one with memory impairment. A contrast color beneath the food has been proven to increase appetite.

• Watch your loved one closely when they are using or are near stair cases, curbs, lips on sidewalks or any other change in plane, as depth perception may be impaired.

On the Eighth Day of Christmas… Get Informed and Be Prepared!

If bringing your loved one home for the holiday, be prepared to provide an additional level of assistance.

If your loved one currently resides on Memory Lane, having a brief meeting with the Director of Memory Care prior to the holiday can help prepare you for challenges that may be unexpected. Our team will be able to equip you with any supplies needed for a successful trip home.

On the Seventh Day of Christmas… Classic Christmas is Key!

What other holiday has its own set of songs? While you might have some new favorites, your loved one with memory impairment won’t respond the same as with old holiday favorites.

Incorporating old classics into your playlist will not only provide a sense of familiarity to your loved one, but may also help them to communicate and participate easier.
