Elderly patients who suffer from dementia are at an increased risk of developing delirium - an altered mental state which leads to a person becoming confused, disorientated, or agitated.
Due to their unpredictable behaviour, it may be challenging to administer care as certain actions such as feeding them medications or doing tests may cause them to be frightened or angry.
Learn more about how Alexandra Hospital's geriatric team comprising doctors, nurses and other allied health professionals work together to develop a holistic care plan that is built on empathy and compassion.
