如何在農曆新年期間為失智症照顧者提供幫助

兔年將至，今年的農曆新年落在2023 年 1 月 22 日。 繁忙的年節慶祝有時讓人吃不消，對於平時已經分身乏術的失智症照顧者來說，春節的到來可能是另一個壓力的開始。在這篇文章我們將分享一些實用的活動來為照顧者提供一些幫助或幫忙減輕他們的負擔。

如果您打算要拜訪照顧有失智症家庭成員，可以事前試著主動聯繫照顧者，並詢問如何在農曆新年慶祝活動中提供直接或間接的幫助。 給照顧者一些喘息的時間，讓他們也可以享受假期並與家人共度美好時光。 雖然失智症者短期的記憶不如以往，但與他人情感上的交流及支持仍是重要的。 我們列出了一些融入了農曆新年傳統且讓失智症者有參與的活動。

年夜飯準備

如果失智症者喜歡烹飪，請依照他們現有能力，嘗試讓他們參與準備年夜飯。

寫春聯

寫或貼貼春聯是春節的一項重要活動，代表著對新一年嶄新的期望。 邀請失智症者寫下他們最喜歡的新年吉祥字或話。 參與者應調整對於最終成品的期望，重點放在幫助失智症者享受在書寫和裝飾的過程。

懷舊講古

家庭成員可一起翻閱相冊，並鼓勵失智症親屬分享他們的生活故事和經歷。 無論談話內容是正確與否，避免糾正他們的，有耐心地引導他們分享快樂的記憶。

發送紅包

紅包象徵著新年的美好祝福及好運。 邀請失智症者幫助您準備紅包並發送給晚輩。 對於晚輩來說，這也是學習如何與失智症者互動的教育機會。 […]
