Elder Support

Morning Shift: In the morning, our grandmother with dementia may need assistance with waking up, orienting herself, and getting dressed. It's helpful to guide her through a consistent routine, offering help with personal hygiene (like brushing teeth and washing up). Encouraging a light breakfast, while being patient, can help start the day calmly. Afternoon Shift: In the evening, she may need help with winding down. Ensure she has a light dinner and is prepared for bed, assisting with tasks like changing into sleepwear and ensuring the environment is safe for her to move around in. A calming bedtime routine can help ease anxiety before sleep.
