Elderly people respond (反應(yīng)) best to a calm and unhurried environment. This is not always easy to  36  as their behavior can sometimes be irritating (令人惱怒的). If they get  37  or upset, then they may become more confused（糊涂的） and more difficult to look after.  38  sometimes it can be extremely difficult, it is best to be  39  and not to get upset yourself. You should always  40  old people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to  41  a helping hand when necessary.

Failing memory makes it  42  for the elderly to recall all the basic kinds of information we 43  for granted. The obvious way to help in this  44  is to supply the information that is missing and help them make  45  of what is going on. You must use every opportunity to provide information,  46  remember to keep it simple and easy to understand. When the elderly person makes  47  statements e.g. about going out to his or her old  48  or visiting a dead relative,  49  in a calm matter-of-fact fashion: "You are retired now. Will you come and help me with the dishes?"

We depend  50  on the information provided by signposts, clocks, calendars and newspapers. These assist us to  51  and direct our behavior. Confused old people need these  52  all the time to compensate(彌補(bǔ)) for their memory. Encourage them to use  53  boards or diaries for important  54  events and label(標(biāo)注) the contents of different cupboards and drawers. Many other aids such as information cards,  55  photos, notes, addresses or shopping lists could help in individual case.
