How to Prevent Someone With Dementia From Hitting You
if your person with dementia tends to hit while giving hands-on care try giving their hands something to do while you provide that care
People with dementia can sometimes become aggressive or violent when you try to provide hands on care like bathing or dressing someone with dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease. Here is a simple and easy approach you can try the next time you need to help someone with dementia with activities of daily living. Make sure the thing you offer them to hold is soft.

Or if the person w dementia tends to touch/grab 👐 "areas" of your body while giving hands on care…
This hasn’t worked for me generally thrown back at me or they become distracted ie. put the item in the toliet etc
Unless they hit you with what got in they hands 😭😭🍳
🌿 Natural Healing at Its Best! My grandfather’s memory and focus have improved since using this Ayurvedic formula. No side effects, just pure herbal goodness. Highly recommend for anyone struggling with dementia! 🌱✨
Very good
If they hit you put them in a home and forget they exist. It’s ok to accept that your parents failed to take care of themselves throughout their lives. It’s not your fault. Be better than them.
I hate to say this but my dad has dementia from his aneurysm 20 years ago. He was a famous musician and sadly the car accident he had changed everything. I'm afraid since his brain injury my mom never divorced him. She should have because he gets aggressive when my mom tries to take care of him. And when he gets overly hungry he will get upset if confronted. I'm afraid he'll have this until he leaves this earth.
My 87 year old mother is getting more agitation. My sister died a year ago. I'm on my own and scared for me and my mother. Her roof needs replacing bad. Home is paid off. It's 15k cheapest estimate. Dryer stop working. It never ends. I'm 51. I have Lupus.
Wow, this came in my timeline just in time… yesterday for the first time my mother raised her hand to hit me when I went to move something that was in her space. Ill have to remember this every time now in the future. Caring for dementia patients is so taxing on the mind. 😢
My dad would hit me so badly I had to wrestle him on the bed one time and he had power of a 20 year old at the age of 88?!? It broke my heart??? 🌈🕊️✝️🕊️🌈
Ann Maria flat 4/40 leopold rd Felixstowe ip11 7 np / her mother worked with dementia patients all her life / robbed every one and brought her council house with the money she covered it with a load of bull jobs /🎈🎈🎈
Rookie mistake putting your head down while putting their shoes on I’ve had a good few kicks that way also they pull out your hair i once has a lady choke me with my scarf oh and they scratch. Keep your head out of the way of their hands and feet unless you know they don’t hit scratch pull hair or kick I learnt that the hard way

My grandmother my grandmother went from just showing early signs of alzheimers with simple forgetfulness of names and other things to after having a hip surgery when she woke form anesthesia she was completely gone. My father brought her home and she would wake up at 2 in the morning and scream while tearing lamps and window curtains down, she broke a window somehow and she tried escaping
Thank you for the tips, hope anyone else having the same problem be able to go through ❤❤
When my grandmother starts hitting that’s when she can ramble in a home
My grandma used to be like this late in her demetia, she would automatically start folding napkins and towels to calm herself down, she was the best, i love you grandma
Or hit them back ???
