Communicating with a loved one with Dementia

I came across this post today with great information about communicating with a loved with with dementia:

If your father is asking the same question over and over - "Where are we going?" Answer his question, but also write it down on a notepad and give it to him. When he asks again, tell him the answer is on the notepad. This will help him retain the answer and keep him from asking again.
