Manageable Relationships: Losing the ability to grasp what people say when talking to multiple people makes it difficult to maintain relationships. Instead of keeping people away, limit the number of guests in the house at the same time, or have guests talk with them away from the crowd and noise. Contact Senior Transitions if you need help caring for your aging parent or grandparent by calling (850) 894-6720.
How to Handle Hallucinations: If they aren’t bothered by hallucinations, you can ignore it. However, if they become afraid of what they see and hear, consult a doctor. Have their eyesight and hearing checked. Contact Senior Transitions if you need help caring for your aging parent or grandparent by calling (850) 894-6720.
Learn how you could benefit from Senior Transitions LIVE, a service that offers a way for distant family or caregivers with restricted visitation due to COVID-19 to see their aging loved one via FaceTime.
Communication Tip: Don’t try and argue to “make your point.” They may not be able to see your point of view at all, and this will further confuse or frustrate. Contact Senior Transitions if you need help caring for your aging parent or grandparent by calling (850) 894-6720.
Confusion From Windows: Light reflecting off windows can cause confusion. Pull down the blinds or close the curtains before you take them into a room in the evening. Make sure the string-pulls on blinds remain out of reach so legs and arms don’t get tangled in them. Contact Senior Transitions if you need help caring for your aging parent or grandparent by calling (850) 894-6720.
