“Sundowning” – Dementia

Transforming the Deaf Dementia Experience

Sometimes a person with dementia will behave in ways that are difficult to understand, more often in the late afternoon or early evening. This is known as 'Sundowning'.

If you’d like more information about this, visit: www.alzheimers.org.uk/sundowning
