To prevent the elderly from getting lost, it is important to maintain their existing cognitive abilities and slow down their degeneration. One of the ways to keep their brain healthy is as follows:
Have a regular schedule and think more about happy things
It is recommended that the elderly have enough sleep every day (about 6 to 8 hours a day). In addition, the elderly should keep their mood comfortable, affirm themselves and maintain positive thinking. Relaxation exercises can also help them relax when necessary.
For the elderly with mid-to-late stage dementia, it is recommended that caregivers try to arrange a fixed schedule and daytime activities for the elderly, so as to reduce the time the elderly sleep during the day and promote the quality of sleep at night.
