💙 Dementia doesn’t look the same in every person.
One person may experience forgetfulness — repeating questions or forgetting recent conversations.
Another may experience confusion — becoming unsure of where they are, what day it is, or what is happening.
Some may experience frustration or agitation — becoming upset, irritable, or sometimes physically or verbally reactive.
Others may experience anxiety — needing frequent reassurance or wanting to stay close to a familiar caregiver.
Some may walk or wander — moving around frequently or attempting to leave a safe area without recognizing the risks.
Others may become suspicious — believing belongings were stolen or misunderstanding another person’s intentions.
Some become quiet and withdrawn — losing interest in activities or interacting less with others.
As dementia progresses, some people may need more help with everyday tasks such as dressing, eating, bathing, or communicating their needs.
Some may also experience hallucinations or delusions — seeing, hearing, or strongly believing things that others do not.
Dementia is not one behavior, one personality, or one experience. Behind every symptom is still a person deserving patience, dignity, understanding, and compassionate care. 💙
