Alzheimer's Society explain how to understand and respect someone with dementia
It is so important that anyone with dementia still feels they are a valued member of their community. Ensuring they feel respected at all times, throughout every aspect of their lives, will help them to maintain their dignity, and help them to realise that they still mean so much to their friends and family.
