Oral hygiene The best time to brush teeth or to remove and wash dentures is after each meal. Patients should do as much as possible for themselves. Exercise and activities Late morning and early evening are wonderful times for a walk. This keeps bowels regular and deceases agitation. Folding clothes and cleaning tables are enjoyable tasks for some.
Most patients can participate in dancing, singing, card-playing, dominoes or tossing a ball.
Wandering Evening seems to be the worst time for patients who need to wander. A regular walk or other activity at that time can provide a useful distraction. It also helps to reassure patients that they are safe. Patients should wear identification bracelets at all times. Safety-proof the house and outside gates.
