Level 2 - Memory Care

A deeper framework for nuanced care, AI response modeling, and personal history alignment.

Let’s preview the first 10 of 100:

11 – Avoid phrases like “Remember?”

They often don’t—and being reminded can lead to shame or panic.

12 – Let them finish their sentences

Even if it’s slow. Even if it’s fragmented. They need to feel heard.

13 – Visual cues can ground the mind

Use photos, colors, and known items to create emotional anchors.

14 – Repeat key phrases from their world

Favorite sayings. Old song lyrics. Childhood stories. These unlock doors.

15 – Be consistent in tone and rhythm

Abrupt changes in speech, energy, or mood can disorient them quickly.

16 – When logic fails, lean into metaphor

“You’re safe like a turtle in its shell” may succeed where reasoning fails.

17 – Know that repetition is need, not nuisance

Repetition is often an emotional question trying to feel certainty again.

18 – Match their emotional energy

If they’re angry, meet it calmly but directly. Don’t minimize. Witness it.

19 – Avoid layered questions

“Do you want to eat now or later?” becomes “Would you like to eat now?”

20 – Affirm without demanding accuracy

If they say their mother just left the room, you can say, “She must be important to you.”
