IT TAKES A VILLAGE

FREE GUIDE TO COGNITIVE HEALTH

Help From Your Village in Cognitive Health

“It takes a village.”

It’s a phrase often used when referring to raising children, but having a village is a lifelong need. That village becomes vital once a loved one starts showing signs of cognitive decline or receives a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.

Keeping that loved one involved and included in conversations is an important way of helping them maintain their relationships and sense of belonging.

Here are three ways caregivers and loved ones can help someone living with cognitive decline remain a vital part of conversations and gatherings: • Minimize distractions

When you’re having a conversation, turn off the TV, radio or any music that may be playing. Allow the focus to be on the conversation. • Stay upbeat

It can be difficult watching a loved one struggle to remember names or details, but they pick up on any sadness or frustration through your facial expressions and body language. Always focus on the positive. • Take a break

If frustration creeps in, change the topic in conversation, or suggest a different activity. You can even just lean in for a hug or take their hand. Even small gestures can show support.
