Memory Lane: Fitness for the Mind presents the 12 Days of Christmas, Tips for Making the Holidays Memorable.
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.
