Remedies For Sundown Syndrome

Provide Reassurance And Assistance When Needed

Occasionally, all caregivers really have to do is provide reassurance and assistance when needed. A pleasant conversation or some kind words may be enough to ease the patient's confusion and help them feel more like themselves. Often, someone suffering from dementia feels frustrated as a result of an inability to communicate effectively with others. By taking the time to sit down and talk to the patient, caregivers can help them feel better about themselves and feel more involved. Similarly, trying to accomplish certain tasks may frustrate them and, as the situation creates more anxiety, they will further lose their ability to concentrate. If family members see their loved one getting frustrated, they may want to help them with the task. They may only need a gentle reminder to recall how to perform the task. Acts that may seem simple to a healthy individual are often very complicated to someone suffering from dementia.
