Communicating with a loved one who is living with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease can be challenging.

These five tips can help you connect, remain calm, and navigate positive conversations: 

  1. Listen carefully and pay attention to your loved one’s body language. 
  2. Don’t ask too many questions. Focus on individual topics and avoid open-ended questions. 
  3. Avoid conflict. Validate their feelings. Don’t yell or express anger. 
  4. Use humor and laugh together to help break any tension. 
  5. Encourage positive engagement by playing your loved one’s favorite music.
