If someone with dementia feels rushed in a shop, this may cause stress and anxiety, and could discourage that person from going shopping again.
Being patient & understanding can make all the difference in providing a more positive experience for someone living with dementia.
This evening everyone at Alzheimer’s Research UK lit a candle in remembrance of all those who lived with dementia and sadly lost their lives to COVID-19.
Our thoughts are with all who have been impacted by the pandemic. We are hopeful a brighter future is in our sights. 🕯🧡
It’s been one year since lockdown was first announced - a devastating year, with people affected by dementia worst hit by the pandemic. If you need help supporting somebody with dementia during the pandemic, click here: https://t.co/yR9iuhDl1v
