For some seniors, making decisions about getting dressed can be challenging, especially if they have a special appointment or dinner to attend. You can help support your loved one’s ability to make dressing decisions by reducing the number of options about what to wear.

Make it easier to choose by setting out two or three favorite tops or shirts and slacks for men, or skirts or pants for women. Providing more focused clothing options reduces the challenge for them of trying to choose when facing an overwhelming closet filled with clothing.
