Those who have dementia can find the holiday season disorienting, but their loved ones can help.
“The holiday season can be both joyful and stressful for all of us, especially individuals living with a dementia-related illness,” said Jennifer Reeder, director of educational and social services for the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA).
“Being proactive, adaptable and inclusive of the person’s wishes and abilities are the best ways to help them have a happy and joyful holiday season,” she said in a foundation news release.
