Seasonal changes affect us all. As days get shorter and we spend less time outside, many of us feel a shift in mood. For those living with dementia, winter can increase disorientation, restlessness, and confusion. Shorter days and colder weather may intensify symptoms like sundowning when agitation rises in the late afternoon. Limited sunlight can lead to seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Caregivers can make winter more manageable by creating a warm, well-lit environment, setting a daily routine, and incorporating indoor activities. Simple comforts like cozy blankets and familiar music can bring calm and help loved ones feel grounded. If you need support this season, Reliable Home Care is here to help.
