Yes. This kind of empathy must come from the heart.

As a professional caregiver, the live in care rate is $225 (it was $160 before the pandemic) for 16 hours of care, I get two days off a week, and I am available at night every four hours for toileting the patient. So….

I thought you were going to do a spit take at the beginning LOL!! Always appreciate your videos. Thanks!

Great info David! Thank you!!!

I’ve seen young people do many of these things. So I guess everyone can forget things.

I’ve forgotten names of relatives and thought they were complete strangers. I’ve discussed this with loved ones and was dismissed.

Great topic and SO TRUE!

Thank you for your video. We noticed these things with our loved one, along with giving in to scam phone calls.

Thank you for your post.

I have 5 children. None of who I expect to care for me when that time comes. Here in Canada we can opt for MAID. Caring for someone is really hard, mentally and physically taxing. You put your life and sanity on hold. I've been cooking and cleaning and caring for people for over 50 years.. Sigh.......

1 not shutting door's , taps , gas stove 2 shopping things not needed 3 going to toilets again and again 4 asking time and day multiple times 5 asking about lunch and dinner multiple times my father going through this its very difficult

Wonderful content by David

This video provides valuable insights into the reasons people reach out when someone passes away, shedding light on the often misunderstood aspects of grief and suppor

This video offers a balanced perspective on the fears and facts surrounding in-home caregiving, a topic many families grapple with. By addressing common concerns while providing factual information, it helps viewers make more informed decisions about their loved ones' care. Kudos for tackling this important discussion with sensitivity and clarity

So many romanticize aging, while others worship money. Very few people have a realistic view of it all. Most end up being a burden to someone.

Thanks so much for you videos. You give a lot of valuable, useful information.

Awesome videos David! Glad to have you in our community helping people out.

very nice

It does not consider the stress of having the responsibility. I cared at home and it was only me and a CNA but I never could escape care giving and it wore on my mental health. Some times a home is what a caregivers mental health needs. Don’t feel guilty if you need the space from caregiving.

Great info David 😊

Sorry for this question. How can I call you? Or contact David?

It seems as though the only people who recognize dementia are on YT when they should be sharing their wisdom with hospitals and other medical professionals because they're not getting it done.

My psychiatrist looked me straight in my eyes and said if you have Alzheimer’s I will not know it. Someone else will be asking the doctors opinion. A little scary but I also feel relieved that if my normal activities are going wrong someone in my family can get me some help.

Good luck with your channel

"PromoSM" 😊

Well said, David! We've got to meet the person with dementia where they are..even when it isn't our reality.

Haha you think you're funny and clever.

Got a good laugh with you on that one!! Thanks for the tips :)

Hello sir God bless you all family members ✝️🙏

nice

Face it. We live in the worst country in the world for senior citizens. Nobody in their right mind thinks these kinds of costs are acceptable.

Thank you , my husband is 75 and was diagnosed with dementia a year ago , and yes it was his driving that caught my attention from as three years ago , of course now he is not allowed to drive since been diagnosed, every day is quite a challenge and I am noticing on a daily basis ,new memory problems are arising from very simple things that he has to do is becoming a challenge for him and he gets so frustrated and quite angry at times especially when I am trying to help him , Thank you so much for the valuable info 🙏🏻💙

I forgot why I’m here?

My ex is suffering from dementia at 73. My daughter and her special needs son live with me, just the three of us, and every time I forget to turn something off, or can't find my keys, or have to search a little to remember a name or an infrequently used word, I can see that look on her face that seems to ssy, "not you too." I am so tempted when she forgets to turn something off or can't find something to roll my eyes and say, "uhoh." No, I seriously do not worry about me having dementia, but I will be 75 this year and have normal moments of inattention, maybe daydreaming, maybe preferring my own company. I would like to ask everyone making tbese invaluable videos helping family members to recognize warning signs that they need to remember these can be signs of normal aging, unless they become extreme. Tracking your older parent's every mistake and judging them constantly is not only annoying to them. It is demoralizing and ultimately harmful to their confidence, self esteem, and self worth.

A surefire sign of declining cognitive function is incontinence, especially at night. The mentally confused person may forget how to navigate efficiently to the nearest toilet. Be prepared to do lots more laundry if you are caring for an elderly person who is cognitively compromised. 🧺

Interesting, these countries like Japan, Sweden, Norway etc... has the highest life span, Japan is 83 years old/ But then they also have the most Alzheimer and Dementia ! Longer to live, the more chance to have these mental illnesses!

So glad you were able to have that special moment with your grandmother. Thanks for sharing!

My mom kept hearing sounds at night, thinking the radio was left on. She was soon diagnosed with dementia

Huh. Can't remember what I was going to say. 🤷‍♂️

Driving, funny 😂 dads getting something from a telemarketer need to find out what they want ? He has been isolated his entire life, he’s kinda forgetful not to bad. Thanks for the advice and good information ℹ️

You're a good son :)

I appreciate all the videos you send out...short and very informative. I only wish I lived closer to you so I could use your services. Thanks for your time and dedication.

The worst elderly driving is that they confused the brake and the accelerator. It's a deadly confusion from the other people driving
