Video Tip: Should You Visit Your Person with Dementia When They Don’t Recognize You?

Have you ever wondered if you should still visit your person with dementia even if they don’t always recognize you?

Even though your loved one may not know your name or your connection to them any longer, they can still sense that you’re an important person in their life. Their eyes can still light up, and they can feel emotions like love.

That’s important, because they’re not experiencing physical touch or emotional connection as often as when they were living with their family.

So when you visit them, you’re still able to love on them and create feelings of warmth and connection. That’s what they need to be able to stay happy and healthy throughout their illness.
