Guide to Caring for a Person with Dementia

Informal Caregivers are people who often need support and guidance to improve their performance in their caregiving tasks.

Caring for a person with dementia requires many individual physical, psychological, and emotional skills and competencies.

Based on the experience of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa in this area, through its Social Action and Health sectors, this informative set with various suggestions has emerged.

It is with the purpose of providing information and making the caregiver's day-to-day life simpler that we present this Guide of suggestions prepared by health specialists in the areas of aging and dementia.
We hope you enjoy this guide and that it facilitates your daily life.
