The Value of an Intervention

Seniors with dementia may be scared, confused, and angry, and their family has to witness their decline, which puts stress on all members. When an Alzheimer’s or other dementia crisis presents itself, you need reliable service from an experienced professional. The Way to Aging has extensive expertise in older adults with dementia, and our specialist is here to help. It’s essential to understand that interventions help reduce and manage aggression and agitation during a crisis. Having a hobby and structure in one’s life can be highly beneficial for a person suffering from dementia. Many non-pharmacological interventions for individuals with dementia address aggression and agitation using various methods, including:

  • Aromatherapy that uses a calming oil, such as lavender
  • Exposure to sunlight
  • Having them listen to their favorite music
  • Redirecting them to hobbies and things they enjoy doing
  • Going for a walk
  • Showing them pictures of loved ones or engaging them in conversation to reminisce about the past
