Description. When someone is living with dementia, it’s common for them to mask or have difficulty communicating pain. Sometimes it may only become apparent due to a change in behaviour such as someone losing their appetite, becoming lethargic or finding things unusually irritable. When a carer becomes aware of behavioural changes they'll want to determine if pain is the root cause. Confirming a person is experiencing pain is a challenge, especially if there are communication issues such as dysphasia to overcome. The Pain Chart is a simple communication tool providing a visual aid to indicate how someone is feeling and if and where they may be experiencing pain. The Pain Chart can help get over that initial communication hurdle and get on the path to a solution.
