UK’s 5th Annual Senior Caregiving Conference

Those with dementia do best with routine. A predictable environment offers a sense of control and provides a level of comfort. It helps maintain health and happiness. Many of our loved ones had a routine in place, but in March, everything changed. Everything that was familiar was upended, making life harder for those with dementia and their caregivers. Our loved ones with dementia may not understand why family isn’t visiting, or why everyone is staying at a distance and wearing masks. All of this change can be frightening and disorienting to them.
