What You Must Know About Communicating With Alzheimer’s Patients

Communication with an Alzheimer’s patient can be incredibly difficult, especially when the condition is severe. Alzheimer’s patients require a tremendous amount of patience, understanding, and listening from those communicating with them.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, it’s common to see these types of changes in patients diagnosed with the disease:

• Using familiar words repeatedly
• Inventing new words to describe familiar objects
• Easily losing his or her train of thought
• Reverting back to a native language
• Having difficulty organizing words logically
• Speaking less often
