1. Don't Forget The Basics

You may be so focused on your loved one's needs that you forget all the other things that need to be done, like making sure their mail is delivered and that they have access to toiletries and clean clothes.

2. Learn How To Cope With Changes in Behavior Or Personality

If your loved one has dementia, it can be hard to know how to respond when they act out or change their behaviors. Learning new ways to interact with your loved one can help you feel more in control of the situation, even if it takes some practice.

3. Be Prepared For Unexpected Events

Whether it's a fall or a trip to the emergency room, unexpected events are bound to happen at some point, so don't let them throw you off balance! Plan ahead so you're ready for whatever comes next.
