These challenges can be significantly more impactful for those caring for a senior with Alzheimer\u2019s disease or other form of dementia. Changes in behaviours can occur for a variety of reasons, including over-stimulation, physical discomfort, confusion<\/span><b>,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> exhaustion caused by sleep problems, medication, or changes in routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Understanding the cause of behavioural changes is critical for caregivers, families and friends. And, it\u2019s helpful for caregivers to know how to manage behaviours that will allow them to provide safe and effective support and diffuse tense situations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Seniors with Alzheimer&#8217;s and Difficult Behavior Examples:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Depression<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Anxiety<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Confusion<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Aggression or anger<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Suspicion<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hallucinations<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pacing or wandering<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The most important thing that caregivers need to remember is that challenging behaviours may not be entirely avoidable. It\u2019s also not the fault of the person with Alzheimer\u2019s or dementia. These behaviours are sometimes a common product of the disease. And, there is specialized support a caregiver can use to help keep a challenging behaviour from escalating.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Alzheimer&#8217;s Disease: Tips for Dealing with Difficult Behavior<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While there is no guaranteed approach that will work with every person or situation, there are some methods that can help caregivers manage trying times:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip #1 &#8211; Staying calm:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s not uncommon for caregivers to feel attacked or helpless when they are caring for someone exhibiting difficult behaviours. Remembering that it isn\u2019t personal and that it\u2019s a symptom of the disease, can help caregivers manage their emotions and avoid contributing to tense or difficult situations. Arguing or reasoning can often escalate an outburst, so caregivers must stay calm and supportive<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip #2 &#8211; Keeping a schedule:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Seniors who suffer from Alzheimer\u2019s disease and other dementias often find it reassuring to have a set schedule for meals, activities and daily tasks. Creating a schedule, and sticking to it as much as possible, can help prevent anxiety, confusion and anger.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip #3 &#8211; Exercise:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Exercise, with approval from a physician, is a great stress reliever for both seniors and caregivers. And, participating in activities together helps foster important emotional connections.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip #4 &#8211; Participating in activities:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether it\u2019s an enjoyable hobby, household chore or physician-approved exercise, participating in joyful activities has been shown to help manage challenging<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">behaviours. These can be pre-scheduled or introduced when difficult<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">behaviours are recognized. For example, caregivers can ask for help folding laundry to ease anxiety or can play music or sing to calm someone feeling confused, angry or depressed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip #5 &#8211; Mindful communication:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Caregivers shouldn\u2019t underestimate the power of communication. Caregivers can use soothing tones, speak in a friendly way and make eye contact to convey normalcy, understanding and compassion. This can help seniors experiencing anxiety or frustration calm themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6100 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/northandwestvancouver\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2020\/11\/Untitled-design-24.png\" alt=\"Seemingly distraught senior woman sits with head resting in hands | Alzheimer's Disease: Dealing with Difficult Behaviours in Seniors | Comfort Keepers North and West Vancouver\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/northandwestvancouver\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2020\/11\/Untitled-design-24.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/northandwestvancouver\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2020\/11\/Untitled-design-24-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/northandwestvancouver\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2020\/11\/Untitled-design-24-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/northandwestvancouver\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2020\/11\/Untitled-design-24-768x576.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1200\/900;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Best Senior Home Care in North and West Vancouver is Comfort Keepers\u00ae<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our senior home care agency offers in-home care focusing on aging in place.
