dementia care
The NHS state that….”In the early stages of dementia, many people are able to enjoy life in the same way as before their diagnosis.
But as symptoms get worse, the person may feel anxious, stressed and scared at not being able to remember things, follow conversations or concentrate.
People with dementia may not drink enough because they don’t realise they’re thirsty. This puts them at risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs), constipation, headaches, etc. These can lead to increased confusion and make the symptoms of dementia worse.
Common food-related problems include: not recognising foods, forgetting what food and drink they like, refusing or spitting out food, asking for strange food combinations, etc.
People with dementia may often experience problems with going to the toilet. Sometimes the person with dementia may simply forget they need the toilet or where the toilet is.
Some people with dementia can become anxious about personal hygiene and may need help with washing.
They may worry about, bath water being too deep, the noisy rush of water from an overhead shower falling, getting undressed in front of someone else, even their partner.
Dementia can affect people’s sleep patterns and cause problems with a person’s “body clock”.
People with dementia may get up repeatedly during the night and be disorientated when they do so. They may try to get dressed as they’re not aware it’s night-time.
Caring for a partner, relative or close friend with dementia is demanding and can be stressful”.
