In the early stages of dementia, memory aids such as lists, diaries, clocks and clear written instructions can help jog the resident’s memory if they are willing and able to make use of them. A memory aid may be a written summary or outline of important details, which can calm a resident who has dementia or memory issues. Another aid might be a topic of conversation, or something the resident loves, or is important to them. Validation Therapy advocates that, rather than trying to bring the person with dementia back to reality, it can be more positive and beneficial to enter their reality. In this way empathy is developed, building trust and a sense of security. This in turn reduces anxiety.
