- In this video, I review common mobility changes in individuals with dementia. I discuss subtle changes to look out for that can hint at mobility changes. The video includes ways dementia can affect walking, balance, and fine motor skills. I also comment on how mobility changes can affect daily life for people with dementia and their caregivers.

Welcome to Dementia Care Hub where I share weekly videos with tips and strategies that you can use right away to make caring for a loved one with dementia easier.
I’m Dr. Kristen Galloway, a licensed occupational therapist and Dementia Care Specialist. I own a private practice Florida where I help individuals with dementia remain independent and safe in their homes for as long as possible. I also provide caregiver training to make caregiving easier and less stressful for family caregivers.
I created Dementia Care Hub when I saw that there were so many family caregivers who were overwhelmed and struggling to find resources to make caregiving simpler.
I hope you find my videos useful. Feel free to comment with suggestions for future video topics. Thanks for all you do as caregivers! It takes a lot of love, compassion, strength, and effort to provide care for someone with dementia. Hats off to you!

What happens when and elderly person is homebound with the signs of severe dementia who refuses help?
That is a very difficult situation. I encourage you to seek out a local occupational therapist who can give you recommendations specific to your loved one’s situation.

There are many reasons for changes in balance. It’s best to have an evaluation by a licensed healthcare provider to determine the specific cause.
