DEMENTIA TOP TIPS Top tips when caring for a person with dementia
Speak to them as you would with any other person.
Engage in everyday conversation. Don’t bombard them; too many questions can cause confusion. Understand how objects appear.
Busy patterns can confuse the eye so make sure items like plates, tablecloths and bedding are in bold, solid colours. Don’t argue with a person.
Dementia can cause a person to lose their ability to reason and see both sides of the argument.
Treat them like anybody else
Remember that a person with dementia is still a person with emotions, desires and a life history. Ask why? Support them around nutrition
Keep a check on non-verbal signs. The better you get to know a person, the easier it will be to identify what they are trying to communicate. Make mealtimes a social affair and enjoy eating together. Think about aids which might help memory.
Labels with words or pictures around the house can be useful if a person forgets where items are. Calendar docks work well too.
Offer a more limited choice to make decision making easier
Reducing the choice makes it easier for the person living with dementia to make a decision.
Step into their reality
People with dementia may have a distorted sense of time. It may be better to ‘join’ their reality and accept what they are saying rather than causing unnecessary anxiety or upset. Help them to stay active and engaged
Appeal to their senses, it could be playing a puzzle or going for a walk to their favourite park. To find out more about living well with dementia, visit www.homeinstead.co.uk

Get Doncaster Moving
Get Doncaster Moving is a programme which aims to help Doncaster’s communities become healthier and more vibrant, by increasing participation in physical activity and sport.
Guidelines for adults aged 65 years+
150 minutes a week of moderate physical activity with 2 sessions to increase heart rate (cardio) and 2 sessions that increase overall body strength.
It is important for older adults to do exercises which improve balance and co-ordination as this helps to reduce the risk of falls.
These do not need to be performed for long periods of time. Just 10 minutes of increasing your heart rate a little and getting warm is enough to count towards your physical activity recommendations.
Meeting these guidelines can have many benefits for your physical health, and your mental well being. It also is a great way to help you meet new people.
The image below shows how being active can reduce the risk of many health conditions.
Examples of cardio exercises: Walking Chair aerobics Water aerobics Riding a bike on level ground or a few hills Playing doubles tennis Pushing a lawn mower
Examples of Balance exercises: Pilates Yoga Tai Chi Standing on one leg a few times a day
Examples of strength exercises: Carrying or moving heavy loads, such as groceries. Activities that involves stepping and jumping, such as dancing. Heavy gardening, such as digging or shoveling. Exercises that use the body as resistance such as squats, lunges or sit ups. As well as walking, the Get Doncaster Moving Programme has four other themes: Cycling Dance Parks and Open Spaces Sport
To find out how you can move more, get in touch with your local Get Doncaster Moving Team: GDM@doncaster.gov.uk, 01302762145
For information on how you could be more active in ways that suit you and your health condition visit: http://weareundefeatable.co.uk
