Why Clothing Matters

Alzheimer’s and dementia affect memory, behavior, and dressing ability. Clothing must support safety, dignity, and calm routines.

What to Look For

• Back‑zip or anti‑strip jumpsuits

• Hidden zipper tabs

• One‑piece outfits

• Soft, tagless fabrics

• Open‑back tops for easier dressing

• Incontinence‑friendly options

Caregiver Tips

• Avoid loud Velcro if noise triggers agitation

• Choose familiar colors and simple styles

• Prioritize safety over independence in later stages
