Lesson 1. The Journey Together

How May Your Roles Change Over Time

​How may your roles change over time?

You may feel as if your role is changing. In the early stages of dementia, you may still be able to enjoy many different activities together.

As dementia progresses, the person will have more difficulty with everyday tasks. This will require a carer to do more to help with everyday life, such as giving medications and taking the person with dementia to appointments.

In the middle and later stages of dementia, a carer might need to do even more for the person with dementia. This may include personal care, such as bathing, going to the toilet and dressing.

Some tasks may be challenging for carers and cause stress.

Let's look at an example

Hessa has dementia and lives with her husband Mohammed. During the past few months, Hessa’s memory loss seems to be more frequent. The last few times Hessa went shopping, she could not remember what to buy. She came home with the wrong things, which was frustrating.
