Validation is an effective strategy for interacting with older individuals coping with Alzheimer’s-like dementia and effectively handling their difficult behaviors. The Validation approach has demonstrated its ability to help reduce stress, maintain dignity, and increase overall happiness for both the elderly and their caregivers. Since its introduction in 1989, Validation has empowered numerous professional and family caregivers to enhance their relationships with dementia patients. This is accomplished by acknowledging the emotional expressions of elderly individuals instead of solely focusing on their disorientation and confusion.
