Repetition in dementia may be person looking for comfort, security or familiarity
AUG 11, 2024
By JULIA ELDRED
A person with dementia may do or say something over and over. This can be a word or phrase, question or activity, or undo something that has just been completed. In most cases, the person is most likely looking for comfort, security and familiarity.
The main cause of behavioral symptoms in dementia is the deterioration of brain cells. This causes a decline in the individual’s ability to make sense of the world around them. With repetition, the person may not remember that they have just asked a question or completed a task.

When restaurant music turns to noise
JUL 20, 2024
My wife was diagnosed with vascular dementia with an emphasis on short term memory loss in 2020. We go out for lunch at a local restaurant almost every day.
Which one we go to varies, according to what type of food my wife would like. However, over the years I’ve noticed we spend fewer visits at the “in and out” restaurants and I finally realized it was due to the background music or, as my wife now describes it, irritating noise. Loud noise tends to increase her level of frustration, especially during the afternoon.
