My husband was diagnosed with #dementia a few years ago & I need help. Being his #caregiver is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I am tired & stressed. Am I even helping him? If this sounds familiar, we have a resource for you. Check out https://t.co/zJVBIDLa80.

Specific colors and other visual cues can aid in creating a #dementia-friendly environment. For example, kitchen cabinets that are a different color than the room's walls are easier to see, which helps with depth perception. https://t.co/8AuF9VlFfJ @alzfnd

This article has some great tips! Another tip is to ‘be where the person is’ in regards to what year or time of day they may think it is. Sometimes ‘reality setting’ can cause more undo confusion or agitation. #sundowning #adultdayservices
