Have you ever asked your loved one with dementia a simple question… and then waited far longer than you expected for an answer? Those long pauses can feel confusing or even worrying, but they're actually telling us something important about what's happening inside the brain. In this video, I break down why people with dementia often take so long to respond, what's happening with processing speed and neural pathways, and how you can support them in a way that reduces frustration for both of you. This is one of the most common questions I hear from caregivers, and understanding this piece can make communication feel calmer, easier, and more connected.
