What to do when a dementia patient doesn't want to do anything?

According to the Alzheimer's Society, apathy affects 50-70% of people with dementia and is a common source of caregiver distress. Knowing what to do when a dementia patient doesn't want to do anything is essential for managing daily life and promoting their well-being. Apathy is often caused by brain changes, not laziness, and can be managed effectively with patience and a strategic approach.
