What to Say Instead of “Do You Remember” to Someone with Dementia

Saying “Do you remember...” to someone with dementia can often lead to feelings of frustration, sadness, and agitation. But for those of us caregivers who have lived a lifetime with our loved-one, how do we make a change in what we say when we want to share a memory of our shared past? In this video, I discuss a simple strategy I use and why it works so well.

Welcome to Dementia Care Hub where I share weekly videos with tips and strategies that you can use right away to make caring for a loved one with dementia easier.

I’m Dr. Kristen Galloway, a licensed occupational therapist and Dementia Care Specialist.

I created Dementia Care Hub when I saw that there were so many family caregivers who were overwhelmed and struggling to find resources to make caregiving simpler.

I hope you find my videos useful. Feel free to comment with suggestions for future video topics. Thanks for all you do as caregivers! It takes a lot of love, compassion, strength, and effort to provide care for someone with dementia. Hats off to you!
