New Delhi, April 23 -- Communicating with a loved one who has Alzheimer's can sometimes be like walking down a foreign road. Their words may fade but that does not mean that they can't feel.

In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Neha Sinha, Dementia Specialist, CEO and Co-Founder of Epoch Elder Care, suggested, "The most important thing in such situations is not necessarily what we communicate but how we relate. Communication barriers while caring for elders with dementia can lead to frustration and confusion, often escalating into anxiety and agitation, making compassionate and clear communication essential. Always say yes, rather than reminding or correcting them, it is necessary to enter their world, where you stay patiently."
