Multi-step tasks—like setting the table or making coffee—can be frustrating for someone living with dementia. But breaking them down into smaller, simpler steps can make all the difference.

Try assigning a single, manageable part of the task—like folding napkins or pressing the coffee maker button.

Supporting independence doesn’t have to be all or nothing.
