Understanding behaviour changes, providing emotional reassurance and following personalised care plans help ensure dignity, safety and well-being for elderly individuals with dementia.
Elderly caregivers assist with daily living tasks, medication support, mobility, personal hygiene and emotional care. They also monitor health changes, follow safeguarding policies and promote independence while ensuring the safety, comfort and well-being of older adults.
Caregiver stress can be managed through regular breaks, seeking respite care, practising self-care, healthy diet, sleep and emotional support. Building resilience, setting boundaries and joining caregiver support groups help maintain mental and physical well-being.
