Best Answer

I've worked with a few dementia patients and this is only my personal opinion from personal experiences. Patients with dementia can get very confused and very frustrated very easily. Silent times can help keep them calm. It's important to understand that they aren't just forgetting their life, they are forgetting what a bath tub is and what it is used for and how to use it and why is it here? Patients with dementia, depending on the extremity, need a lot of patience and a lot of understanding. They don't want to 'lose' themselves and they are uncontrollable to stop it. Silent times are good times for them.
