Allowing people with dementia to finish their sentences
Calling people by their name
When getting ready for the day, encouraging them to do as much as they are possibly capable
Knocking on the door…calling their name…waiting for a response…respecting their privacy
Placing yourself in their shoes ALL the time
Taking the blame for EVERYTHING
Caring for them, no matter how difficult they are
Covering them up as quickly as possible when they are naked
Respecting their feelings at ALL times
Taking the time to find out their history and triggers
Learning to read their body language
Being genuine and sincere
If they make a mistake, NOT letting them know
Protecting them at ALL times
Being there when they need you
Treating them as normal as possible
