Elderly people respond best to a calm and unhurried
environment. This is not always easy to 1as their
behavior can sometimes be irritating (令人恼怒的). If they get
2 or upset, then they may become more confused and
more difficult to look after.3sometimes it can be
extremely difficult, it is best to be4and not to get upset
yourself.You should always 5 old people to do as much
as possible for themselves but be ready to6 a helping
hand when necessary.
Failing memory makes it7 for the elderly to recall
all the basic kinds of information we8for granted. The
obvious way to help in this 9is to supply the information
that is missing and help them make10of what is going
on. You must use every opportunity to provide information,
11 remember to keep it and easy to understand.
When the elderly person makes12 statements about
going out to his or her old13 or visiting a dead relative,
14 in a calm matter-of-fact fashion, 'You are retired now.
Will you come and help me with the dishes?'

these17 all the time to compensate (弥补 ) for their
memory.
