Subject: You’re Not Alone in This Journey
Dear Rose,
I understand that this journey can feel heavy at times, and it’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed. Caring for someone with dementia is one of the hardest things a person can do, and it’s okay to have difficult days.
Please remember that you’re not alone in this. It’s important to take time for yourself—whether it’s a short break, a walk outside, or talking with a friend. These moments of self-care are not only for you but for your loved one too. When you care for yourself, you’re in a better place to provide care for them.
Sometimes I feel exhausted and guilty because I’m struggling to care for my loved one. Is it normal to feel this way, and how do I cope with it?
My loved one gets agitated and confused every evening. What can I do to help them feel calmer during this time?
Subject: Understanding Sundowning in Dementia
Dear Rose,
Thank you for reaching out. It sounds like your mum's behaviour becomes more challenging in the evening, which is very common in dementia—it’s called “sundowning.”
Sundowning refers to the confusion, agitation, or restlessness that often worsens in the late afternoon or evening for individuals with dementia. Here are a few strategies to help manage it:
-
Establish a routine: Keeping a consistent schedule can help reduce anxiety in the evening.
Dementia Care Guidance
24/7 dementia education and guidance, empowering caregivers to provide the best care possible.
We cannot forget the support our families need
"Since we introduced MyPaper’s dementia support, families feel more involved and connected. The newspaper gives them meaningful reasons to visit their loved ones. The 24/7 support helps them understand their loved one’s care and collaborate with us. I truly feel this has brought us closer. It’s truly worth adding this service—I couldn’t be happier."
– Emma J. Home Manager
