For sundowning, dementia care consultant Christy Turner recommends keeping as much daylight as possible in the home, sticking to a consistent schedule, especially later in the day, and keeping the person active, such as taking long walks, so energy is expended before bedtime. If you are navigating refusal of care, such as resistance to bathing, experts emphasize that success lies in the approach: being sensitive to the person’s needs, respecting their dignity, explaining each step gently, and adapting routines to their comfort.
