Families of people living with dementia may want an attentive companion at the bedside while they rest or attend to responsibilities. Non-medical support should be coordinated with hospital staff and the agreed care plan.
Share familiar routines and preferences
Tell the caregiver about your loved one’s preferred name, calming conversation topics and routines that are familiar. Share practical guidance about communication with the assigned team. Hospital staff should assess new confusion, agitation or any change in condition.
Understand the sitter’s role
A sitter offers reassurance and companionship, communicates everyday needs and alerts nursing staff to concerns. The service does not diagnose delirium, manage medications, restrain a patient or replace hospital-required observation. Ask the nursing team about any specialized safety requirements.
