Holiday meals when a loved one has dementia can be stressful, giving rise to moments of heightened confusion. Notifying all guests about what to expect can help ensure an enjoyable occasion for all.
Dr. Catherine Madison, Neurologist with Seniors At Home, writes about navigating such holiday gatherings based on her very personal experience with her own mother in Being Patient.
Seniors At Home’s Center for Dementia Care provides specialized support for people experiencing Alzheimer’s or dementia, as well as practical and emotional support for their families. Our person-centered approach to dementia care centers on the strengths and abilities of every individual and prioritizes activity and autonomy.
