Hi everyone, and welcome to our discussion around living with dementia during the colder months.
It's no secret that the weather has been particularly cold lately. In fact, as I type this, it's currently snowing outside! Winter can be a particularly difficult time for somebody living with dementia. The bad weather and colder temperatures can bring their own challenges, and can sometimes make symptoms temporarily worse. People with dementia aren’t always able to recognise or communicate the fact they’re cold, which can make it even more difficult to manage.
Whether you have dementia, or you care for a loved one with dementia, this discussion is a chance for you to share how the cold weather affects you, ask and answer questions, and share practical advice with other community members. This way you can share your understanding and advice with others who understand and have lived experience to share.
