Walking Up On A Dementia Crisis In The Community

Walking up on to a dementia crisis in the community can be a bit scary for all involved.  Typically the individual experiencing the undesired symptoms of dementia is extremely agitated.  Consider these techniques:

- Approach from the front in slow purposeful motion

- Introduce yourself

- Keep your communication simple with one line at a time

- Do not ask questions - likely the individual will struggle more to answer

- Talk in a lower voice

- Place extra time after each verbalization

- Ask the individual to follow you a couple of steps

- Count your steps - the individual will often count with you

- Your moving to a quieter location - less distraction

- Establish a one to one conversation

- Avoid gestures or fast sudden movements

- Ask about a drivers license - offering to call family

- Your interactions should communicate there is no hurry

- You are helping the individual to a safe familiar place

Dementia crisis are not all alike - and the person experiencing the undesired symptoms of dementia will manifest very individual experiences.  These unplanned events can be an indication the individual could benefit from the help of another.

Home Care Path coordinates senior support partners who can come to the elders home and help.  The senior support partner performs pre-scheduled tasks designed to maintain the health and wellness of the elder.  The Medical Clinic will describe the situation as the elder is experiencing  a cognitive deficit requiring the help of another to remain safe.  The conditions that create these dementia crisis are usually chronic- and progressive - so the need for the help of another continues.

Home Care Path staff can assist the family with contacting the Aging and Disability Resource Center to meet with a Benefit Specialist who can discuss the available resources which will prove helpful.
