Daily Routines & Moderate Stage Dementia
Communication:- less reliance on complex verbal communication- “Reading” the communicator
Offering Assistance:- more assistance needed to initiate and complete

Relaxing the rules…..even more- consider the relative importance of “right”- when is timing critical & when is it not?

The “Balance” of Activity and RestA new way to think about routines:What is necessary to get done each day?- Which of these things are
manageable?- Why are other things challenging?
What is enjoyable to do each day?- How can these things be given more
time?- Can they set the stage for doing
challenging things?

Challenging situations are most often not intentional
Modify activity to where person is at today
The goal is engagement (not new learning)
Keep in Mind…

Take Home Points• Activity can be beneficial for:– Quality of Life– Decreasing Stress
• Activity needs to match the situation:– History– Capacity– Environment
• Take your time and take it slow. Things will change, but so can you.
