Sundowning was something I came to understand through caring for my grandma, who lived with Alzheimer’s.

It can be confusing, upsetting and sometimes frightening, not just for the person experiencing it, but for those trying to support them.

One of the biggest lessons Grandma taught me was that sometimes we need to change our approach, rather than expecting them to change theirs.

Less correcting, more understanding.
Less reasoning, more reassurance.

Try to look beyond the behaviour and ask yourself what they might be feeling or trying to communicate.

I hope this helps someone recognise sundowning, understand what’s happening and find a few ways to make those difficult evenings a little easier.

For those who have experienced this, what have you found helps your loved one?

IT’S OFFICIAL 🥳🤭

This week I left my corporate job of NINE YEARS to give Smart House my all💚

This is so much more than a career change for me. It feels like a calling, and I finally feel like I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.

My only concern now is that there’s only one of me and not enough hours in the day to help as many people as I’d like.

Which is why I’m hoping to grow this account too, using it to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s, share what I’ve learnt through lived experience and hopefully help others along the way.

A little bit of background...

I worked in home care when I was 18. It was, without a doubt, the best job I’ve ever had. But the reality was that care workers were (and still are) underpaid and undervalued, and I needed financial stability to build the life I wanted.

So I took a different career path.

Now, having spent nine years building that stability, I feel incredibly fortunate to be in a position where I can take everything I’ve learnt, and make a difference in a way that feels right to me.

This time, I’m doing it my way, with a focus on the little things that can make a big difference to someone’s day.

I’ve got Smart House the home help business, SMART Support the free voluntary carers group, and this little corner of the internet where I can share my experiences and raise awareness of Alzheimer’s.

The corporate chapter has officially closed, and I’m SO excited for what comes next✨

If you can help me get this account out there by liking, commenting, sharing or reposting, I’d be so grateful.

Because if I can’t be in everyone’s home, perhaps something I share here can still make a difference in someone’s life💚

This could be one of the most important reminders that I can give you 💚

Alzheimer’s is a thief, but there are some things it can’t steal away.

Music was our lifeline to a happier time.

When we put a record on, Grandma could sing along, word for word. We’d dance, we’d laugh, and for those moments, we were happy.

If you're caring for someone with dementia, don't underestimate the power of music. Find the songs they loved, the records they played, the music that takes them back.

You might just find that, for a little while, it brings you back together, too.

I’d love to hear from you. What is something you’ve found that helps you reconnect with your loved one, or brings them moments of happiness on their dementia journey? 💚

One of my priorities might be a little different to what you’d expect ☕️

Of course, the jobs that need doing matter, but so does the person behind them.

I’ll always make time for a chat and I’ll never turn down a brew, because sometimes the most important part of a visit has nothing to do with the job you came to do.

And I think that’s something we can sometimes forget 💚

One of the hardest things about caring for someone with Alzheimer's is learning that what makes sense to us doesn't always make sense to them💚

I couldn't change Grandma's reality, but I could change how I responded to it.

Sometimes, the kindest thing we can do isn't to correct, explain or convince. It's to listen, meet them where they are and help them feel safe.

It won't work every time, and it won't take away the heartbreak of watching someone you love live with dementia. But sometimes, the smallest change in our response can make the biggest difference to their distress.

You don't always have to bring them into your world. Sometimes, you can step into theirs💚

I do this for free.

Because I know how lonely caring for someone you love can feel, and how much it means to have somewhere you can turn to for support.

Just one person walked through the door today, but do you know what? One person is enough.

That’s one person I can support through my own lived experience. One person who has a space to talk, feel understood and know they’re not alone.

Every journey starts somewhere, and today, this one began. 💚

Here’s to creating a space where those who spend so much of their time caring for others can feel cared for, too.

📣 Today is the day! - Our very first SMART Support – Carers Group will take place at 3pm TODAY💛

Whether you’re caring for a partner, parent, child, family member, friend, or someone with more complex needs, you are welcome here. Every caring situation is different, and every carer deserves support, understanding and the chance to connect with others who just get it.

What can you expect from our group?

💛A welcoming space where you can talk, listen, share experiences, or simply be yourself.

📚 Access to information and resources covering a variety of caring situations. We might not always have every answer, but we can work together to help you find the right information and support.

🤝 The opportunity to connect with other carers who understand the challenges, the little wins, and everything in between.

📱 A community in your pocket - I'm also looking to create an optional WhatsApp group for anyone who would like to stay connected between meetings, share helpful information, and continue supporting one another beyond our group meetings.

Because support shouldn't just be for the person receiving care - it should be there for the person giving it, too.
