When someone living with dementia becomes frustrated or overwhelmed, the cause is often something in their surroundings rather than their behavior.
Bright lights, loud noises, uncomfortable temperatures, or too much activity can increase stress and confusion. Making small adjustments to the environment can help create a greater sense of comfort and calm.
Instead of trying to change the person, look for ways to make the space more supportive. Often, a simple change can make a meaningful difference.
