It's that time of year again when we change our clocks in an effort to "save daylight". This weekend, we turn the clock back one hour ending Daylight Saving Time. This can have very serious effects on our senior population, especially those living with Alzheimer's or dementia.
Many of us are affected by the change in season, however, for those with Alzheimer's and dementia, this time of year may increase their anxiety and confusion, and lead to behaviors such as aggression and wandering.
Below are some tips to consider when helping your elderly loved one to manage the upcoming changes.
