Holiday gatherings for people with memory loss can be fun or full of anxiety. As we gather together, please be conscious of the fact that too many people speaking at one time can rattle a person with cognitive impairment or memory loss. Try to speak one at a time, and if there is a lot of people present, watch to see that the person with dementia isn’t getting upset. If they are, someone intervene and take them to a quiet place in the home until they are calm. Also, never walk up behind a person with dementia. Approach them from the front so they are not scared.
