I have one resident that says “Merry Christmas” every morning.
Christmas is a special time and no one wants to be alone for the holiday.
However, we have to remember that the holiday can be overwhelming for those with Alzheimer’s.
Just make it simple. Don’t overwhelm your loved one.
Carefully observe your loved one and if they are overwhelmed or tired, allow them the time to rest.
Understand that while your celebration may not be over, the time may come for your loved one to make an early exit.
How do you make Christmas special for your loved one?
