How to Talk to a Loved One with Alzheimer’s Without Frustration

Transcript

00:00Talking with someone who has Alzheimer's can be challenging, but here's the truth.

00:05It's not about saying the perfect words. It's about how you say them.

00:09With the right tone and patience, communication becomes less stressful and more loving.

00:15Speak slowly with warmth. A calm tone feels safe.

00:19When you rush, it can create anxiety. When you soften your voice, it brings peace.

00:25Maintain eye contact and smile softly.

00:27Nonverbal communication often speaks louder than words.

00:32Your presence says, I'm here with you.

00:34They may ask the same question again and again.

00:37Instead of correcting, respond patiently. Each answer is a gift of reassurance.

00:43Instead of pointing out mistakes, validate their feelings.

00:47Say, I understand, or that sounds important.

00:50This makes them feel heard, not dismissed.

00:53Alzheimer's doesn't erase the need for love and connection.

00:56With patience, tone, and gentle presence, you can turn frustration into moments of peace.
