Dementia is indicative of brain cell damage which leads to the deficits in memory, executive functioning, behavior, and temperament. Memory deficits are the hallmark symptom of dementia and short-term memory issues are the first to appear (Arvanitakis & Bennett, 2019). Over time, individuals with dementia experience a progressive decline in cognitive and physical functioning leading to a loss of safety and independence.
A key focus of therapy is working with the patient and caregiver to optimize the patient’s participation in meaningful activities while maintaining safety for everyone involved. Work with the caregiver and patient to identify what communication or cuing strategies are most effective to facilitate these activities. Establish a home exercise program to maintain strength and mobility and help prevent adverse events, including contractures and pressure injuries.
