BEHAVIOR CHALLENGES
Communication can become challenging throughout the course of dementia. You'll need to adjust. These suggestions to try:
• Make eye contact and call the person by name.
• Be aware of your tone and your body language.
• Show a warm, loving, matter-of-fact manner.
• Be open to the person’s concerns, even if it's hard to understand.
• Be patient with angry outbursts; remember, it’s the illness “talking.”
• Simplify instructions, repeat and be patient to allow time for response.
• Use statements and limit options for them to choose.

Mainly, show love and kindness when speaking to your loved one; they need your reassurance.
