Supporting a loved one with dementia is a journey filled with challenges, but also with moments of deep connection and love. At The Arbor Company, we believe that families deserve practical tools and compassionate guidance. That’s why our dementia expert, Susan Robbins, and our team have compiled these 10 heartfelt tips designed to make daily life with dementia easier and more meaningful.
From announcing yourself warmly when entering the room, to validating feelings instead of dismissing them, these tips honor dignity and provide reassurance. They remind us that dementia does not erase the person we love… it simply changes how they experience the world.
Small actions, like offering finger foods to support independence, encouraging storytelling, or playing favorite music, can open doors to joy and connection. Just as importantly, our team encourages families to release guilt, embrace patience, and remember that they are not alone in this journey.
This video is part of our ongoing commitment to provide families with education, encouragement, and expertise. Watch the video above, share it with friends, and download the free printable guide for a reminder you can keep close at hand this holiday season, and beyond.
At The Arbor Company, we’re here to support you and your family every step of the way. Season's greetings!
