Supporting Seniors Through Repetition With Compassion
When dementia affects memory, seniors may repeat the same questions without realizing it. How caregivers respond can significantly impact emotional well-being.
Helpful strategies include:
Offering reassurance rather than explanations
Validating emotions behind the question
Redirecting attention without frustration
Keeping responses consistent and calm
