These Links explain about symptoms and suggest strategies.  This page is in constant change with Links added almost every week.

Most of these Links are projects from folks who have dementia symptoms themselves.
Links from those WITHOUT personal experience of dementia symptoms are clearly marked by “not PLwD” = NOT Person Living with Dementia symptoms.

For ME, first step in finding most-likely strategy is RESEARCH;
first step to find coping strategy is defining the problem.
So more information on Symptoms is an important part in search for strategy.

.

Since this is a REFERENCE page, some Links are listed in up to three categories.
Current categories are: Activities, Afternoon/Evening (SunDowners), Anger, Apathy, Books, Calendaring/Scheduling, Care-Partnering, Challenging Behavior, Choices /Decision-Making, Children, , Clothing/Dressing, Comfort, Communication /Conversation/Talk, Confusion/Dis-Orientation, Delusion, Depression, Diagnosis, Driving, Earliest Symptoms, End-of-Life, Exercise, Fatigue, Fear, Financial/Money, Food/Eating/Appetite, Grief/Loss, Hallucinations, Health Risks, Hobbies, Holidays, Home, Hope, Housing, Hygiene (toilet, bath, etc), Identity, Inflexibility, Legal issues, Living Alone, Medical issues, Medication, Memory/Recognition, Mentors, Mobility, Mood, Noise/Sounds, Non-Verbal Communication, Numbers, Physical Pain, Planning, Preferences, Purpose, Reading/Writing, Relationship, Research, Routine, Sex, Sight/Vision, Sleep (rest/nap) Issues, Smell, Social Inter-Action, Spatial Awareness, Spiritual Beliefs, Stages of Dementia, Swallowing/Throat, Talk, Technology, Therapy General, Therapy of Animals, Therapy of Music, Time, Time-Travel, Tinnitus, Touch, Travel, Visits, Wandering, zzz= uncategorized

Note excerpt from Gail on Video Chat:

“I have really started to miss the contact of other people living with dementia.  Zooms are just not the same!  I need the company of people face to face.
With zoom, I can’t just chat with the person next to me…We have to wait our turn for the right moment, sometimes the moment passes and then I’m left deflated.
Nothing beats being in a real room, freely discuss how each other is feeling.  Just comparing our journeys.
I miss chatting with others that are on their dementia journey, I miss having something in common, I miss someone who can relate to me and understand
I miss that touch of a hand…the touch of reassurance.”

We may also expand our understanding about consciousness and personhood in people with dementia, which could affect the way we care for them.”  >> https://www.nia.nih.gov/research/blog/2019/09/exploring-unexpected-what-can-we-learn-lucidity-dementia .
