If, after a few attempts, he or she still doesn\u2019t understand, try rephrasing your question or statement. Ask one question at a time, be concise, and use visual cues when possible. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alz.org\/help-support\/caregiving\/daily-care\/communications?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpOD8pJbg5wIVGJSzCh1aNgcwEAAYASAAEgJVDvD_BwE\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alzheimer&#8217;s Association<\/a> recommends asking \u201cyes or no questions.

When you\u2019re talking to your loved one, be sure to reassure them and maintain a level of positivity throughout your interaction. Keep the conversation light with added humor or reassure them through moments of affection.<\/p> <h3 style=\"font-size: 36px;\"><strong>Listen and Understand Them<\/strong><\/h3> <p>Communication is a two-way street, so be sure to listen to your loved one and understand them. When having a discussion, don\u2019t only listen to their words, but observe their body language and nonverbal communication.&nbsp;<\/p> <p>If you can sense that your parent or loved one is struggling to find the right words, try to help him or her in a calm manner.&nbsp;<\/p> <h3><strong>Break Down Activities or Conversations<\/strong><\/h3> <p>Being as simple as possible when communicating with someone who has memory loss or a form of dementia is a key factor. If you are discussing activities, try to break them down step by step to make it easier for him or her to understand. If you have a lengthy discussion for them, try to break it up into segments and ensure they understood what you have said before continuing with the conversation.&nbsp;<\/p> <h3><strong>Be Patient and Open<\/strong><\/h3> <p>One of the most important parts of communicating with a loved one who has dementia is to be patient. When having a conversation, don\u2019t feel discouraged or allow yourself to get upset with him or her.<\/p> <p>When you\u2019re speaking to your loved one, be sure that your body language is open and relaxed; tense movement or body language can make him or her feel fearful or worrisome about what is happening.&nbsp;<\/p> <p>Communication is a vital part of any relationship. While dementia may pose an obstacle for clear communication, finding techniques that work with your parent or loved one can help avoid difficult situations and frustration for everyone involved.&nbsp;<\/p> <p>If you are caring for a loved one with Alzheimer\u2019s or dementia, and you are seeking additional help, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caravitahomecare.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CaraVita Home Care<\/a> offers a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caravitahomecare.com\/senior-care-services\/alzheimers-dementia-care\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>DementiaLife program<\/strong><\/a>.
