Tips for Caregivers and Families of People With Dementia From Experience Caregiver-Puan Lioja Binti Muhamad
Caring for someone with dementia brings immense emotional and physical challenges. Real-life stories from Puan Lioja Binti Muhamad from Adera Team Community Alliance Sdn Bhd show that avoiding arguments, establishing daily routines, and seeking family support are key.
Common Challenges in Dementia Care
Behavioral Changes: Sudden mood swings, anger, and confusion often occur due to changes in the brain.
Communication Barriers: Loved ones may repeat questions, forget words, or struggle to express pain and needs.
Safety Risks: Wandering and forgetting routine tasks (such as turning off the stove or taking medication) create constant worry.
Caregiver Burnout: Bearing a heavy daily burden alone leads to exhaustion and sleep deprivation.
Lessons and Management Strategies Based on Real-Life Experience
Stop Arguing: Caregivers often find that correcting a confused loved one’s mistakes only causes more stress. Instead, entering their reality can foster calm and prevent conflict.
Establish a Consistent Routine: Setting consistent times for meals, using the toilet, and bedtime can reduce anxiety and behavioral issues.
Use Simple Language: Using short sentences and ensuring eye contact before speaking can help prevent frustration.
Ensure Home Safety: Locking doors at night and using identification tags can help manage the risk of wandering.
Seek Advice: Contacting admin support or asking family members to take over caregiving duties temporarily can help preserve your health and well-being.
Please Let Us Know: Are you caring for someone with early-stage or advanced-stage dementia? What is the most difficult daily challenge you are facing?
