The article seeks to address the importance of the spiritual dimension in people suffering from dementia (especially Alzheimer’s disease). Fulfilling spiritual needs is crucial for the good clinical condition of patients with Alzheimer’s disease. There are scholarly studies that show that different pastoral approaches, that focus on meeting the spiritual needs of the sick person, can improve the quality of life for people in early, mild, and even advanced stages of dementia. The article also highlights the theological and anthropological dimensions of the life of those suffering from dementia. It seeks to capture the implications of the disease for both the person with dementia and for pastoral work with them.

The paper discusses dementia syndrome in the pastoral practice of the Church and pastoral care focusing on the corporeal aspect of the human being, which enables dementia patients to engage in contact with people around them even in their situation involving limited verbal communication. The paper first deals with dementia and the limitations associated with it and then focuses on the aspect of corporeity in the context of dementia syndrome. The paper subsequently discusses the aspect of corporeity as a point of departure for pastoral care for dementia patients and the concept of Seelsorge as Leibsorge. Finally it focuses on the form Seelsorge as Leibsorge takes with Pope Francis.
