"For relatives with memory changes, constant correction can feel like criticism"

In home care, Comfort Keepers helps seniors in Englewood Cliffs age in place with dignity and support.

Instead of saying “You already asked me that,” try gentle cues like “Yes, you mentioned that earlier — it’s clearly important to you,” or “That reminds me, let’s look at your calendar together.” Caregivers can use labeled drawers, a whiteboard for the day’s plan, and repeated phrases to anchor the day.

When your loved one tells the same story again, it’s okay to just join them in it. Feeling heard matters more than getting every detail perfect.
