Understanding Repetitive Questions in Dementia
Repetition in dementia care is often a sign of uncertainty or stress. Responding with patience helps reduce anxiety and builds trust.
Effective approaches include:
Responding with kindness each time
Using clear, familiar phrasing
Avoiding arguments or corrections
Redirecting to soothing activities
