If someone you are caring for is showing signs of dementia, it can be an unsettling and sometimes frustrating time for everyone. It is important to have a diagnosis, to ensure nothing else is causing the symptoms. Your GP should be involved.

It is important to have a diagnosis, to ensure nothing else is causing the symptoms. Your GP should be involved.
A common sign could be confusion about the time of day and what is appropriate for that time. They may for example get up and dressed for work at 2am, which not only disrupts their sleep, but that of the person caring for them.
A strategy that may help with this is to use visual cues to re-orientate to time. E.g. point out that it is dark outside or show them a clock and explain that it is 2AM. Offer a cup of tea and a snack, this may allow time for the cues to register and often they will hop back into bed without resistance.
It is important to try not to argue with someone with dementia, which is certainly easier said than done, but remembering it will only escalate the situation may help!

NEWS that Bill English is to open a new wing of the Cambridge Retirement Village sparks a revolution among its residents. New fractures appear along old fault lines, transforming the swanky facility into a hotbed of insurrection, intrigue and infidelity. With shenanigans and skullduggery at every turn from an all-star cast, ageing is about more than bridge and bedpans!

Selling our old washing machine as we've upgraded to a bigger front loader. It's approx 11-12 years old but has had a new pump, position sensing unit and main board replaced within the past 6 months (all genuine F&P parts)
