Keeping People with Dementia Safe Over Christmas: Practical Tips for a Calm, Joyful Season

Christmas is a wonderful time of year—filled with family, familiar traditions, and cosy moments. But for people living with dementia, the festive season can also bring challenges: busier homes, unusual routines, loud gatherings, flashing lights, and general overstimulation.

At ENA Care Group, our highly trained live-in carers support people with dementia every day to stay safe, comfortable, and calm—especially during busy periods like Christmas. With a little planning, the holidays can still be meaningful, enjoyable, and reassuring for everyone involved.
