Ask Us Anything: Why are evenings so hard?

As dementia progresses, the way people express themselves can change, sometimes in subtle ways and sometimes more dramatically.   In our Ask Us Anything episodes, you send us your questions about living with dementia and we’ll answer them as honestly as we can. Nothing is off limits here!   We offer practical and compassionate strategies for people struggling with evening routines, and for when a loved one’s language reverts to mother tongue.     +++    ABOUT THIS EPISODE  This ‘Ask Us Anything’ episode was hosted by Jim Rogers with advice from Louise, a National Dementia Helpline Advisor at Dementia Australia.     NEED SUPPORT?   Contact the National Dementia Helpline: 1800 100 500.
