5 tips to help people with dementia

1) Leave a calendar in the room to maintain orientation in time

2) Maintain light cycles

Maintaining natural light cycles by opening and closing the curtains at corresponding times improves the perception of time and helps with temporal orientation

3) Allow decision making:

Allowing decisions to be made in daily life in relation to food, clothing and activities as soon as conditions allow, promotes autonomy

4) Perform guided exercises

The practice of guided exercise improves physical condition, increases quality of life and decreases physical disability over time.

5) Perform cognitive activities:

Doing puzzles, Sudoku or "memorize" stimulates cognition and helps maintain these processes over time
