Four everyday strategies, two printable templates and a caregiver well-being chapter in one editable deck.
Word-finding trouble, repeated questions and sudden frustration can leave caregivers feeling helpless. Teaching others what helps usually means building slides from scratch. This deck gives you the ideas, the phrases and two templates, ready to adapt.

This is a ready-to-use, editable PowerPoint deck of 51 slides on dementia communication. It covers active listening, non-verbal communication, four practical strategies, a simple choice card and a communication log, plus caregiver stress tools. It suits family caregivers, care staff, trainers and wellness creators.
The opening chapters explain the landscape: how dementia affects memory and understanding, common challenges such as word-finding difficulty and trouble with sequential tasks, and the impact on both the person and the caregiver. Chapter 2 then turns to foundations: active listening, non-verbal communication, and a supportive environment with slow, clear speech and respectful distance.
Chapter 3 presents four strategies: simplify and clarify, encourage and engage, navigate difficult moments with gentle redirection, and use visuals and props such as family photos and familiar objects. Two vignettes bring them to life, The Forgotten Recipe and The Evening Agitation. A printable Simple Choice Card shows how to offer two clear options, and a Communication Log helps you notice patterns over time.
Chapter 4 looks after the caregiver with a stressor rating, techniques such as 4-7-8 breathing, a Daily Stress Level Check-in and a weekly self-care checklist. Chapter 5 covers daily routines with a morning engagement example, and the closing chapters give creators content ideas like Five Simple Phrases That Make a Difference.
