We worry about losing a family member, both emotionally and mentally. Common advice to prevent dementia typically includes eating better, exercising more, and engaging in brain games. While these tips are helpful, they only address part of the issue. Protecting our cognitive health requires everyone and depends on strong family relationships, support, and presence for one another. Reducing the risk of dementia should be a community effort, not something done alone.<\/p>\n<h2>How to support someone with dementia?<\/h2>\n<p>How can families help support their loved ones\u2019 cognitive health? Dementia Specialist and Clinical Psychologist<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthshots.com\/experts\/neha-sinha\/\"> Neha Sinha<\/a> shares three key ways to make a real difference beyond typical lifestyle advice.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Family as health advocates<\/h3>\n<p>Midlife vascular health is a strong predictor of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthshots.com\/how-to\/how-to-manage-dementia-here-are-7-lifestyle-habits\/\">dementia risk<\/a>. \u201cPoorly managed blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol can lead to cognitive decline later in life,\u201d Sinha tells Health Shots. Also, certain long-term medications, especially anticholinergic drugs used for allergies or sleep issues, can harm memory function.<\/p>\n<p>Families can improve health outcomes by being proactive health advocates. This means attending medical appointments, understanding diagnostic reports, and reviewing medications with healthcare providers. Family involvement is key. When loved ones accompany ageing parents or grandparents to check-ups, they provide support, making medical visits feel less intimidating and more empowering.<\/p>\n<p>Is it interference? No, it\u2019s protection. \u201cYour involvement can help facilitate important health discussions, draw attention to possible cognitive issues, and ensure decisions are made in the patient\u2019s best interest for their cognitive future,\u201d says the dementia specialist. By working together, families can improve their loved ones\u2019 health and significantly affect their mental development.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Protecting the senses and creating safety<\/h3>\n<p>Biological factors do not just cause dementia; environmental factors also play a role. Untreated hearing and vision loss can speed up cognitive decline. Think about an elder who used to be lively but can no longer hear conversations or move around their home with confidence. This can lead to isolation and withdrawal, which affects their mood and limits the brain\u2019s essential stimulation.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24596\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24596\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-24596 size-full lazyload\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2021\/06\/29094226\/Dementia-and-nursing-1.jpg\" alt=\"How to treat elders\" width=\"770\" height=\"436\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2021\/06\/29094226\/Dementia-and-nursing-1.jpg 770w, https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2021\/06\/29094226\/Dementia-and-nursing-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2021\/06\/29094226\/Dementia-and-nursing-1-768x435.jpg 768w, https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2021\/06\/29094226\/Dementia-and-nursing-1-600x340.jpg 600w, https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2021\/06\/29094226\/Dementia-and-nursing-1-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2021\/06\/29094226\/Dementia-and-nursing-1-159x90.jpg 159w, https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2021\/06\/29094226\/Dementia-and-nursing-1-223x125.jpg 223w, https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2021\/06\/29094226\/Dementia-and-nursing-1-627x354.jpg 627w, https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2021\/06\/29094226\/Dementia-and-nursing-1-141x79.jpg 141w, https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2021\/06\/29094226\/Dementia-and-nursing-1-207x117.jpg 207w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24596\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Laugh a little with the elders at home. Image courtesy: Adobe Stock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Families can help improve sensory health. They can encourage the daily use of hearing aids, buy glasses, and keep the environment well-lit. These actions can make a big difference. It\u2019s not only about having the right equipment, it\u2019s also about creating a supportive living space. Remove fall hazards in your home, such as loose rugs and cluttered pathways. \u201cConsider getting physiotherapy to improve balance and strength\u201d, says Sinha. When an older adult feels safe at home, their cognitive function can improve.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Boost social interactions<\/h3>\n<p>Brain games and puzzles are helpful, but the best way to boost your thinking skills is through emotional and social interactions. \u201cThe brain does better when it connects with others, faces challenges, and finds meaning,\u201d says Sinha. Doing activities together, like learning to cook or taking an art class, helps stimulate your mind and strengthens relationships.<\/p>\n<p>Think about how you can help your loved ones think better. \u201cReading together, volunteering in the community, or starting creative projects can boost brain activity more than doing activities alone\u201d, says the Clinical Psychologist. When you share experiences, you not only improve mental health but also strengthen family bonds and create lasting memories.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mayInterest\">\n<p>You may also like<\/p>\n<div class=\"mayInterestRow\">\n<div class=\"likeColumn\">\n<div class=\"mayInterestRowThumb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthshots.com\/video\/can-this-water-boost-your-immunity-alkaline-water-product-overview-alkalino-by-tesla-power-usa\/\" onclick=\"dataLayer.push({'event':'story_click', 'widget_name':'You may also like', 'story_type':'story', 'position':'1', 'element':'card image', 'story_section':'Family Care', 'story_title':'How to support a family member with dementia: 3 tips by a psychologist', 'target_url':'https:\/\/www.healthshots.com\/video\/can-this-water-boost-your-immunity-alkaline-water-product-overview-alkalino-by-tesla-power-usa\/', 'current_url':'https:\/\/www.healthshots.com\/preventive-care\/family-care\/reduce-dementia-risk-family-support\/', 'data_source':'non_amp', 'property_language':'eng', 'user_ID':ga4ClientId, 'client_id':ga4ClientGaId});\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" src=\"https:\/\/images.healthshots.com\/healthshots\/en\/uploads\/2023\/01\/29120734\/Thumbnail-CMS-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Can this Water Boost Your Immunity?
