GOD NEVER FORGETS Reavhing Persons with Dementia

摘要

Dementia does not alter one's need for expressing faith. Spirituality and religion can be important to quality of life for persons with dementia. Spiritual needs can be overlooked when a patient has memory loss and is unable to communicate understandably (Jolley & Moreland, 2011; 0dbehr, Kvigne, Hauge, & Danbolt, 2014). When caring for someone with dementia, it is imperative to find avenues to connect and allow expression of faith. Potential activities might include prayer, reading Bible verses, and sharing music that has meaning or represents religious history for the individual.
