What ‘Others’ Should Know as a Part of Dementia Care Program?

By others, we mean all of us. We all are a community fighting dementia and working to have a world where this condition no longer affects so many older adults. While it may be clear what the role of professionals including doctors and other healthcare staff may play in helping a person with dementia, where do we stand in our duty to help prevent and combat this condition?

The context of the community greatly affects the way people with dementia feel in society. Community plays a vital role in making a person with dementia feel comfortable, relaxed, peaceful and enjoy a sense of belonging. While some may tend to feel people with dementia must be in a dementia care facility for one reason or another, we actually understand that there is a role for all of us to play. The importance of social engagement and community relationships are proven to be highly beneficial for someone battling dementia.

As a result, the community is a crucial setting in which interventions may enhance the quality of life for people with dementia as well as their relatives and caregivers. Knowing the background of the community can also help one comprehend how an illness progresses. Additionally, knowledge of local customs, obstacles, and traditions can help one perceive problems and find solutions in novel ways.

To ensure a safe and understanding community for people with dementia, education and awareness at a national level must be practiced.
