🧩 5 Tips to Ease the Stress on Families Living with Dementia

Caring for a loved one with dementia can be incredibly rewarding – but also deeply challenging. Here are five gentle, effective ways to reduce the pressure on everyone involved:


1. 🤝 Pull in Support Early

You don’t have to do it alone. Reach out to friends, family, neighbours, or local charities. Even small acts of help (like someone doing the shopping or staying for an hour) make a difference.


2. 📆 Keep a Predictable Routine

Routine can be a huge comfort for people with dementia. Regular times for meals, walks, and rest help reduce confusion and agitation.


3. 💬 Communicate Simply and Kindly

Short, clear sentences, calm tones, and open body language can help avoid misunderstandings. Patience truly is key.


4. 🪴 Create a Safe, Familiar Environment

Use labels on drawers or photos on doors to support memory. Familiar music, smells, and cherished belongings can bring comfort and calm.


5. 🧘 Care for the Carers

You matter too. Take breaks. Talk to someone. Use respite care if needed. A healthy carer is an effective carer – and burnout helps no one.


🌼 You Are Not Alone

If dementia has entered your home, please know there is help, hope, and a whole community standing beside you. The Alzheimer’s Society continues to be a beacon of support, offering practical resources and emotional strength every step of the way.
