The Daily Dressing Dilema

If getting dressed is becomming a hardship or isn't occuring at all, try these tips:

  • Use signs and labels to help your loved one find his or her bedroom and closet. Label the contents of dresser drawers to help your loved one find items independently.
  • Help your loved one get dressed at the same time each day.
  • Offer no more than two clothing options each morning. Empty closets and drawers of inappropriate or rarely worn clothes that could complicate the decision.
  • Lay out pieces of clothing in the order they should be put on — or hand out clothing one piece at a time as you provide short, simple dressing instructions.
  • Rushing the dressing process could cause anxiety.
  • Don't argue if your loved one doesn't want to wear a particular garment or chooses the same outfit repeatedly.
