Working in dementia care requires a high level of compassion and patience. As you know, patients with cognitive difficulties will present with confusion, frustration, and anger at times, and it takes a patient individual to work with them. The interviewer wants to see that you consider yourself a patient person and what methods you use if you need an extra boost of patience. If they deem that you are not a patient person, they will reconsider hiring you for the role. Impatience can cause a lot of stress and anxiety in those around you, so it is essential that you can showcase your ability to remain patient and professional in workplace situations.
