This is good advice for many scenarios, not just good for Dementia. This strategy can be employed with many people who are in distress without obvious cause, it makes them feel heard, and opens--instead of closing, lines of communication. In so many cases, our instinct is to correct what we understandably see as a mistaken perception, to fix what's wrong in the situation. But there's no fixing this level of confusion, at least not in this kind of scenario, the best you can do is resolve the situation without causing further distress, and try to give people what they need in that moment.
Hi, @Lurklen! Thanks for making the connection! Yes so many times if we would take a few minutes to connect with a person before trying to fix a problem we might find another outcome. Let's see if we can get more people to begin thinking this way!

In this scenario, this person with hallucinations should never travel alone. I get the meeting the person's concerns, but someone with this advanced dementia can't function alone.
My dad has stage 5-6 vascular dementia. He has been seeing a child and young woman in his granny flat and our yard. He asked me if our house is haunted. How should I respond?

Teepa is a GEM!!!
Thats something that all employees in public areas should really be trained in. Telling a concerned person they are wrong is not helpful is it.
Thanks, @Robert Payne!
Love this. The respect of others feelings regardless is always a calming thing in any situation.
Love that you showed the what not to do and ALSO what TO DO instead.
Glad you loved it, @Audrey M!

Hi, @peanut422hb, thanks for sharing your concerns. It is hard for a person to function when dementia is in the picture for sure.
