🧠 THE SUNDOWNING SOLUTION
A Time-Based Dementia Intervention System

When the day winds down… and everything starts to unravel — this gives you a plan.

Late afternoons and evenings can be the hardest part of the day for individuals living with dementia — and for the staff and caregivers supporting them.

Agitation rises. Confusion deepens. Pacing, repetition, and resistance begin.

Most resources leave you with vague advice like "stay calm" or "try music." This isn't a guide — it's a step-by-step system.

  • Prevent escalation before it starts
  • Respond effectively in real-time
  • Stabilize high-intensity behaviors
  • Keep residents calm through the evening transition

Built Around the Real Sundowning Timeline

Instead of guessing what to do, you follow a 4-phase system that matches what's actually happening in the brain.

🌅 Prevention Phase (3:30–4:30)
Prepare the nervous system before behaviors begin.

🌇 Escalation Phase (4:30–6:00)
Identify warning signs early and redirect quickly.

🌃 Peak Phase (6:00–8:00)
Manage agitation, yelling, resistance, and distress.

🌙 Reset Phase (After 8:00)
Prevent re-escalation and support a calmer evening.

Complete System Included

12 Grab-and-Go Intervention Cards
What to do when pacing starts, when someone refuses care, when voices rise. Exact objects. Step-by-step actions. No thinking required — just grab and go.

🗣 Expanded "What to Say" Script Library

⚖️ Do This / Not That
