Dealing with accusations from a loved one with dementia can be challenging and emotionally draining. Here are some compassionate and effective ways to handle such situations:

🤗 Acknowledge Their Feelings
Tip: Validate their emotions by saying, "I can see why you feel that way." This helps them feel heard and understood.

🎯 Redirect and Distract
Tip: Gently change the subject or redirect their attention to a different activity or topic to help them move past the accusation.

💕 Provide Reassurance
Tip: Offer comfort and reassurance, such as, "I'm here to help you. Let's figure this out together."
