Keep in mind that the disease (Dementia, Alzheimer's disease, etc.) is the culprit to blame for undesirable behaviors, NOT THE PERSON. It will help you provide the compassionate care vital to those suffering from Dementia or Alzheimer's disease. Validate your loved one's very real emotions before redirecting behaviors and avoid responding to nonsensical requests with a resounding "no" can help moderate catastrophic reactions and maintain the elderly patient’s sense of dignity.

Dementia is not a disease!

Dementia is not considered a disease by itself. Rather, it is a syndrome—or group of symptoms— that can be caused by many different diseases. The symptoms of dementia are often severe enough to keep people from performing normal daily activities.
