Are you celebrating the New Year with a loved one who has dementia?

Consider celebrating early! “Noon Year’s Eve” or early evening toasts can make your loved one feel involved while avoiding fatigue or confusion after dark.

To avoid overstimulation, remember to avoid noisy fireworks and large crowds. Instead, play familiar music and reflect together by looking through photos from the past year! 🎶📸

🥂 Wishing everyone a safe, calm, and heartwarming start to the year ahead.

The greatest gift you can give a loved one living with dementia isn’t wrapped or in a box — it’s your presence, your patience, and your willingness to meet them where they are.

Involve them in the celebration in simple, meaningful ways:
🎄 Hang an ornament together
🍪 Help stir cookie dough or add sprinkles
🎶 Listen to familiar holiday songs
📸 Share old photos or family stories

Even small gestures help your loved one feel valued, included, and connected.

If you have questions about memory support, or want to learn more, our team is always here to provide a helping hand. ❤️

The holidays are full of excitement — music, decorations, family gatherings — but for someone with dementia, all that activity can sometimes feel overwhelming.

Bright lights, loud noises, and crowded rooms may cause confusion, anxiety, or fatigue. It’s important to notice the signs of overstimulation, and help your loved one stay calm.

If you notice restlessness, irritability, or a sudden desire to leave the room, help your loved one feel comfortable by providing quiet spaces, or building quiet breaks into the day!

It can also help to keep gatherings small, and surroundings familiar. Avoid overstimulation by focusing on peaceful, one-on-one moments. ✨

The holidays are meant for reconnecting with loved ones, but for someone with dementia, large gatherings and fast-paced conversations can sometimes feel overwhelming.

When you sit down together this season, focus on comfort over correction. Instead of asking, “Do you remember…?”, try saying, “It’s so nice to spend time with you.”

A few gentle conversation tips:
💬 Speak slowly and with warmth
💬 Use names and familiar cues
💬 Reminisce about positive feelings rather than specific dates
💬 Give them time to respond — silence can be soothing, too.

Meaningful moments come from shared emotion and presence.

The holiday season is a time of joy, but it can also bring extra responsibilities for caregivers—cooking, decorating, wrapping gifts, and more. Respite care offers a solution: a short-term stay for your loved one where they can enjoy quality care, festive activities, and social connections in a welcoming environment.

Meanwhile, caregivers get peace of mind and a chance to recharge. This season, let us help lighten your load while ensuring your loved one enjoys the holidays to the fullest. 🎄

The holiday season is full of so much merriment and cheer, and we love making sure our Memory Support residents are sharing in the joy! ⭐

If you’re spending time with a loved one with dementia this holiday season, there are lots of dementia-friendly holiday activities to get you in the holiday spirit. 🎄

You can:
💫 Listen to classic holiday music, create a scent station to spark holiday memories, or make touch-based ornaments together out of soft materials like felt!

🖼️Make paper snowflakes or simple garlands, decorate a small table-top tree, or paint or color holiday-themed pages together, making sure to use large-print coloring sheets and bold, cheerful colors.

🌟Watch gentle holiday movies or shows, take a drive to see the lights (as long as it’s brief and low-pressure), or sip warm cocoa together, paired with a familiar Christmas carol for an extra cozy moment!

Call our memory support team for more ideas on ways to make the holidays joyful for those with memory challenges.
