Getting Started
Use this when a person with dementia is living at home and everyday routines are becoming harder for both the person and the family member or carer supporting them. Think about your average week over the last month.
Systematic reviews support home-based occupational therapy for adults with dementia and informal caregivers, with moderate evidence for better daily function and lower caregiver burden.
How much cueing or hands-on help is now needed for basic home routines?
Think dressing, bathing, toileting, meals, taking medicines, or getting ready to leave the house.
How often do layout changes, rushed timing, or too many choices trigger confusion or distress?
Examples include drawers with too many options, busy benches, unfamiliar carers, noisy spaces, or trying to do the task too quickly.
How much is caregiver time, stress, or exhaustion being shaped by these home routines?
This includes supervising more of the day, repeating instructions, staying on alert for safety, or losing time for your own sleep and health.
How structured is the current support plan for keeping home routines working safely?
This could include OT advice, consistent carers, simplified routines, written care plans, GP review, respite, or home modifications.
