When Time Slips: Dementia and Calendar Confusion

In this episode, we talk about what happens when a loved one with dementia begins losing their sense of time — mixing up days, seasons, appointments, or believing events are happening “right now” when they aren’t. These time slips can be confusing and emotional for everyone involved. We’ll explore why the brain struggles to track time in dementia and share gentle ways to respond, reduce stress, and stay connected when time doesn’t feel steady anymore.FACEBOOK PAGE: Please leave questions for Kelly, or set-up a chat!https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573800764103Please consider donating to support A BALANCING ACT!https://buymeacoffee.com/navigatingmemorylossRESOURCES:https://cicoa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Memory-Aids_Dementia.pdfhttps://www.homecare.co.uk/advice/time-perception-and-dementiahttps://alzheimer.ca/en/help-support/im-caring-person-living-dementia/providing-day-day-care/setting-routines-remindersThe information shared in this podcast is for EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES only, and should not be considered a substitute for medical advice.
