Why Caregiver Support Matters

Caring for someone with dementia is easier when families are supported

Dementia care can affect the whole family. Caregivers may deal with repeated questions, confusion, mood changes, poor judgement, wandering, sleep difficulties and challenges with familiar daily tasks.

Caregiver Guide

Early signs caregivers should watch for

Families should seek support when changes in memory, thinking, communication, behaviour or daily function become repeated, worrying or unsafe.

When to ask for help

Seek guidance early when symptoms begin affecting safety, independence, relationships or daily care at home.

Request Help

Repeatedly forgetting recent information, asking the same questions, losing track of dates, becoming confused about place or time, or needing more help with tasks previously done independently.

Difficulty following conversations, struggling to find words, repeating stories, withdrawing from social activities, becoming suspicious, fearful, anxious or easily upset.

Difficulty managing medication, cooking, hygiene, money, walking safely, judging distance, sleeping well or completing familiar routines.

Caregivers should seek support when they feel overwhelmed, exhausted, isolated, emotionally drained or unsure how to continue providing care safely.
