Signs would include confusing day and night, wandering or becoming lost, problems sleeping or eating, delusions or hallucinations (both can be symptoms of certain types of dementia), increased agitation, if they're unable to recall their name or address, when the caregivers stress becomes more than they feel they can take, when the caregiver can no longer take care of their own health care needs, or no one else can or will help the caregivers because caring for someone with dementia is a 24/7 job.

Keeping people with dementia engaged will depend on their interests and activities before their disease. Did they enjoy walking, baking, sewing, painting, crafts? We engage the person with dementia in activities they enjoyed in their earlier life but usually have to modify the activities to meet their current abilities. If for example they enjoyed painting, we could encourage them to paint a simple design and assist as needed. We want the person to be as independent as possible as long as possible so we try to encourage what they enjoy doing and make sure they feel successful. Activities should be fun, and failure free. There are no right or wrong ways to fold towels, sort buttons, or roll silverware. The activities should be adult themed. For instance, if they enjoy putting puzzles together, make sure the puzzle is not a child like scene. Ensure there is no pressure to finish the puzzle in a certain timeframe. If they enjoyed music, be sure to choose music from their era. Encourage them to dance (doesn't matter if they are ballroom experts), just enjoy the music and movement. In the case of wheelchair users, usually they can still move their arms and legs. Add in props like top hats, bells, or feather boas and allow everyone to enjoy! The purpose of activities is to help the person with dementia to feel successful and productive. Activities are designed to reduce agitation, anxiety and boredom. Each person is designed activities to meet their person centered care.
