Many elderly people with dementia do not admit that they have a disease and refuse to go to the hospital, so what should family members do? It is usually better to try to explain to the elderly why they need to go to the doctor first, and if they still cannot be convinced, they may need to use some techniques. You can try to persuade the elderly person to go to the hospital for other reasons, such as having a headache, dizziness, high blood pressure, routine checkups, etc. If the elderly person has an aversion to being told about their symptoms, it is best to communicate with the physician first and avoid talking directly to the patient about dementia during the visit. Family members can enter the consultation room first under the name of they need to see a doctor, and then invite the patient into the consultation room after describing the patient’s condition to the doctor. The doctor should be kind and patient, waiting for the patient to stabilize and establish a trusting relationship before proceeding with detailed examination and treatment. For a small number of patients who are severely agitated, at risk of aggression, self-injury or injury, or in critical condition, police or emergency vehicles may be called to assist in transporting them to the hospital if necessary.
