Did you know dementia can cause a person to start speaking their first language again, even after decades of using another language? The earliest learned language is stored deep in the brain, across many areas, and is often the last to fade. In the moderate and severe stages of dementia, the brain often prioritizes the language that is easiest to process, which is usually the first one learned.

When dementia reaches the moderate or severe stages, language can shift in ways that make speech seem completely nonsensical to caregivers. This happens because dementia damages the brain regions responsible for understanding and producing language.

Caring for someone with dementia? These 10 simple rules can change everything. Save this for the hard days. Agree, never argue. Redirect, never reason. Distract, never shame. Reassure, never lecture. Reminisce, never say “remember.” Repeat, never say “I told you.” Do what they can do, never say “you can’t.” Ask, never demand. Encourage, never condescend. Reinforce, never force. #homecare #dementia #boston #caregiving
