Communicating Effectively with Seniors Experiencing Memory Decline
Memory loss doesn’t have to make daily conversations frustrating. Gentle strategies improve understanding and connection.
Tips for meaningful communication:
Speak slowly and clearly with short sentences.
Focus on emotions rather than correctness.
Provide visual or verbal prompts, such as photos or gestures.
Maintain eye contact and a calm tone to reassure.
Give time for responses and avoid interrupting.
Listen attentively to validate their feelings.
Comfort Keepers Lakewood provides compassionate memory care, offering guidance, companionship, and support to improve quality of life for both seniors and families.
