Comment: If you have a family member with<br />

Alzheimer's or dementia, what can we do to help them<br />

in our hospital?<br />

• Train employees on how to care for patients with dementia.<br />

• Transportation<br />

• Family resources and support; ways to keep them at home.<br />

• Show them respect and help patient and family maintain dignity.<br />

• Better care and attention for those with dementia when in the hospital.<br />

• Do not let age or dementia be a factor in quality of care when in the ER.<br />

• Medications.<br />

• Compassion, love and care.<br />

• Keep doing what you are doing.<br />

• Listen to the POA/Caregivers! Don't speak to us as if patient is not there!<br />
