Home treatment for dementia involves teamwork among health professionals and caregivers to create a safe and comfortable environment and to make tasks of daily living as easy as possible.
A diagnosis of dementia can create feelings of anger, fear, and anxiety. A person in the early stage of the illness should seek emotional support from family, friends, and perhaps a counselor experienced in working with people who have dementia. Professional counseling may help the person accept the diagnosis and develop coping strategies.

Carer support is also important for family members of people with dementia.

When my mother got dementia, I didn't appreciate how a house move would affect her. She had been in her home a long time and was coping to a degree. But a new environment just sent her haywire. Apparently this is quite common. So just a warning to those who think that a move might help.

Hello
Although there are some effective pharmaceutical treatments for dementia, there is a host of natural remedies for this condition that are just as effective, yet mostly overlooked by a majority of the medical community. For starters, recent research has found a link between a high-fat diet and Alzheimer’s disease. There is also a possible link between aluminum and dementia, so it’s important to avoid cooking with saucepans and utensils made from aluminum.

The best defense against dementia and many degenerative diseases is eating a low-fat diet that is high in fruit and vegetables. Of particular help in reducing the risk of dementia is a diet of colorful fruit and vegetables containing antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, E, zinc and selenium. For extra vitamin E, include in your diet brown rice, wheat germ, nuts and olive oil (a ‘good fat’). Important brain foods include shellfish, all kinds of beans and dark, oily fish.
