Lesson 9. Changes in judgement

Let’s review what you have learned in this module

  • Changes can be stressful for the person you care for and yourself. This is quite common.
  • Try to make the person you care for feel more comfortable.
  • Look for ways to prevent or reduce behaviour changes that are stressful.
  • Try to distract the person you care for, don’t argue.
  • When one approach does not work, try another one.
  • Realise that there may be good and bad days.
  • Consult a medical doctor to identify any causes related to medication or illness.
  • Identify whether the environment or your approach could be causing the particular symptom.
  • Remind yourself that changes are part of the disease but other possible causes should be identified before accepting the disease as a cause.

You have finished this module, well done!
