Even if the person has been kind, patient, and non-violent throughout their lives, they can still have bouts of anger. These episodes can escalate into screaming, cursing, grabbing, biting, hitting, kicking, pushing, or throwing things as they move forward in their dementia journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Although you might be tempted to defend yourself with words or fight back, this can only worsen the situation, especially over the long term.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>10 tips to dealing with aggressive Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease or dementia\u00a0<\/strong>behavior<\/h2>\n<p>We recommend trying these nine strategies to help de-escalate dangerous situations and prevent them from happening in the future:<strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Stay calm and use a gentle tone: <\/strong>It&rsquo;s essential to remain calm in the face of aggressive behaviour from an older adult. If you get upset too, the situation will only get worse. Breathe slowly and keep your tone soft and reassuring. A gentle touch on the arm or shoulder, if appropriate, can also help diffuse the situation.<strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Validate their feelings: <\/strong>Everyone wants to feel validated when they&rsquo;re angry or upset. Older adults also need validation, but due to declining cognitive abilities, they may not be able to articulate what&rsquo;s bothering them. Even if you don&rsquo;t know the cause of the behaviour, reassure them that it&rsquo;s okay for them to feel the way they do and that you&rsquo;re there to help.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Avoid escalating the situation: <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, simply staying quiet and giving that person some room is all you need to de-escalate and calm the situation. Avoid the urge to argue, talk back, or stop them from doing what they\u2019re doing (unless it will cause someone harm). Listening and observing will give you an opportunity to further understand the person and hopefully discover the trigger of the behaviour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>4. Make sure the person isn&rsquo;t in pain<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Pain or other forms of physical discomfort can be causing aggressive behaviour. Check to see if they need medication for existing conditions that can cause pain, such as gout or arthritis, if they need to use the toilet, or if they&rsquo;re uncomfortable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>5.\u00a0 Try to determine what triggers the behaviour:<\/b> Frustration, fear, and pain are common triggers to sudden outbursts. Can you figure out what happened just before the aggressive behaviour started? Perhaps they see shadows on a wall that frightens them, causing them to become upset. In this case, you can dim or shut off the light that is causing the shadows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>6. Create a calming environment:<\/b> Excessive noises or stressful, busy environments can cause an older person with Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease or dementia to become upset. Turning off the television, turning down the volume of music or the radio, and asking other people to leave the room might bring the older person back to a state of calmness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>7. Use redirection to r<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>educe aggression:<\/b> Redirection is a technique that <a href=\"https:\/\/carehop.ca\/blog\/using-redirection-as-a-calming-communication-technique-for-alzheimers\/\">shifts the older person&rsquo;s attention from what&rsquo;s bothering them to something they enjoy<\/a>. For example, if they seem frustrated, ask them to play a song on the piano or invite them to tell you the story behind a treasured photograph.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>8. Play their favourite music<\/b>: Music has incredible power to set a mood, recall fond memories, or create a desire to dance, sing, or tap along. Refrain from putting the music on too loud or too suddenly, so you don&rsquo;t startle the older person and possibly upset them further.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>9.\u00a0 Leave the room:<\/b> The older person may be inconsolable, despite your best efforts to reassure them. When you start to feel frustrated, step out of the room to give both of you some breathing space. Before you go, make sure that the area is safe and that the person likely won&rsquo;t harm themselves while you&rsquo;re away. After a short time, the person might calm themselves down or be in a better frame of mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>10. Call for help in an emergency:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If the situation becomes dangerous and you believe one of you might get hurt, call a family member, friend, or neighbor for assistance.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In extreme cases, call 911 for help but be sure to explain to the operator and first responders when they arrive that the older person&rsquo;s behaviour is caused by dementia (or \u00ab\u00a0mental illness\u00a0\u00bb if they&rsquo;re not familiar with dementia conditions). This information will help them act appropriately.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the older person needs to be removed from the home, ask that they be taken to a hospital and not to the police station as their actions were caused by cognitive decline and not criminal intent.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>What to do after the aggressive episode<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the aggressive episode has passed, and everyone is calm again, there are some things you can do to help give perspective on the situation, heal yourself, and be prepared if it happens again.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Reflect on the incident:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Aggressive episodes can be traumatic for caregivers. Take some time to reflect on the situation and see what you can learn from the incident. Think about possible triggers, what sort of reactions worked, and which responses threatened to escalate the episode. Also, try to identify patterns leading up to the behaviour to help prevent them from happening again.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Seek out support<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: There may be support groups in your area where you can tell your story, hear about other people&rsquo;s experiences, and trade ideas for managing aggressive behaviour. If there are no support groups nearby, you can always share your feelings with a close friend, family member, doctor, or religious leader to relieve pent-up stress.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Talk to their doctor<\/b>: If you can, speak with the older adult&rsquo;s physician to see if appropriate therapeutic or medication options can help lessen aggressive episodes and improve the quality of life for you and your loved one.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Hire in-home care professionals:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As your loved one continues through their dementia journey, it might be prudent to hire <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/carehop.ca\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in-home care professionals specializing in supporting people with cognitive decline<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
