Communication difficulties can be one of the most upsetting aspects of caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease or some other type of dementia—and it’s frustrating for the patient as well as for loved ones. Although it can be hard to understand why people with dementia act the way they do, the explanation is attributable to their disease and the changes it causes in the brain. One concrete step you can take to make communication easier is to familiarize yourself with some of the common situations that arise when someone has dementia, so that if your loved one says something shocking or puzzling, you’ll know how to respond calmly and effectively.
