Talk too much..

My mom asks to go home. I could ask her about home but she already repeats over and over things about her home growing up. I’m not sure what asking her to repeat herself again will accomplish.

I got my dad the water coloring on boards to paint. Seems like he likes tbese the most. He destroys them somehow. Also, he doesnt have to use many brain cells. I think coloring is better with pencils. My dad did sort some rubberbands and paperclips some. Thank you!

Sketchers seem decent, at first. Mine delaminated from the toes within 40 days of use. Sketchers required I pay to send them in for evaluation and did not stand behind their product.

I would like the visual aide for the bathroom and a link for the clock

My mother is on stage 5-6. At least once a week, my mother comes out all dressed including shoes and purse ready to go to an event…birthday party, Thanksgiving dinner, doctor, etc. even though there is no event, nor has any been mentioned.

Thank you, I really need tips like these.

My father just goes and fills up the diaper every time I’ve tried every brand and even larger sizes. It leaks out onto his clothes is there any brand that you know of that will hold the urine until it gets changed ? I am washing clothes and sheets 2 times daily and have even tried catheter’s both external and internal, he just rips them out even with mits tied on his hands.

Thank you for expelling this. Where do I get This?

I have done everything she said and it's not working. The last thing I am trying is the whiteboard she reat it then she will call her daughter and ask the same thing again. I don't know what to do? She hate me in my 3 years as a PCA/Caregiver is the first time that something like that happen to me. She has another Caregiver that came 2 days and she adore her???

Hello. What languages are available?

What happens when and elderly person is homebound with the signs of severe dementia who refuses help?

Great smart clock, thank you for your presentation. I need a clock device to "Remind my mother every 30 minutes" to get up from her chair for her overall health. She should have to walk across her room to "Stop the reminder" which would be pre-programed by my sister to continuously "remind my mother" every 30 minutes during the day to get up from her darling recliner. She has 1st stage dementia since Feb. 2024. She sits all day, which is very bad.

Yep it’s how mine started at 45 I am diagnosed now what makes it worse is I used to work in optics I also have the headache and also pain in my neck this is bone spur (So if posture changes once it’s there unfortunately it’s there )Mine I already had a Brain Injury but this to be honest came like a sucker punch 🤛 in my stomach the actual diagnosis I said (Err no don’t tell me please I think it’s my family that needs to know my eldest brother they have put all my epilepsy meds in a proper doset box I have a 15 Year old son ?What am I going to do I keep calling my brother “Dad “😭😭😭Only my son is keeping me going if your an animal they don’t make you suffer ?My Nanna had this and her 4 Sisters and so when the dr told me I totally freaked out ..Occasionally everyone is irritating my brain that’s the only discription i have that they want to help me and I know that but it feels like they are criticising me if they are asking why I change subjects and I don’t know I have changed subjects or what I was talking about in first place

My mom is 76 and shuffles and holds on to the wall to walk and out side she can’t lift herself on the curb . She’s very in denial and she’s fallen twice. What stage is this in and incontinence is out of control and I notice she has trouble opening like a bag of chips .,

Thank you. How do you manage someone who can still walk around, but totally refuses to get up at go to the bathroom, holds the urine all day and fights to resist all care

It's very hard but I personally believe you should tell them the truth. They are so many kinds of dementia.

Let’s not forget that in the later stages, they tend to put anything that can fit into their mouth. You’d be surprised how quickly it can happen.

What if they will not go into the bathroom to begin with😅.

Glad i stumbled across this video. its still very helpful 2 years later! My person with dementia tells me she dont feel like showering. Or say we do this later. Or let me finish my water first... Again and again ..any advice?

My dad is in the hospital now and has been asking to go home. Thanks for these ideas.

My parents' have a low bed, so they don't have to worry about falling. However, the disadvantage of low beds, it's probably harder to get up. I just installed rails in the bathroom and stairs (there was only one, which my brother helped put one on the other side going up). Thanks for sharing :)

The feeling that I get when mother-in-law says, “I want go home” is like a take-me-out-of-this-place-because-I-can-take-care-of-myself. How would you recommend I respond to that? We’ve taken her home, and she only lasts 20 minutes.

I can't find the follow up videos about how to set it up.

your volume is extremly low

My husband is in a group home and refuses to shower and gets ugly when asked to do so, when I visit,I have to make sure he showers….😳

thank you ❤

My mother wants to go home because she left two small children there on their own. How do I respond?

Good review...thank you

I’m the dementia patient. My vision is double also especially in the morning. My neurologist just told me to stop driving because I am having trouble with distance, and placement. I have Ataxia too.

Thanks for discussing the features, it would have been great to have seen them in action.

I’m one of a few caregivers working with a couple. Just recently for me problems in undressing in the evening 7:30 pm. I watch a lot of dementia videos. Teppa Snow is great. My latest is telling my lady her daughter is so proud of her how she loves her putting on her pajamas at night. Works for taking pills too. Also I use lavender lotion and frankincense soap. She loves her nails done and ice cream. I mention this every evening.Teepa has a great video on dressing etc. I haven’t seen a video on undressing. Imagine it’s the same as getting dressed. I’m trying it tonight. Lots of hugs and encouragement on my end.

I just received a pair of Slip-ins for Christmas and put them on right away. Easy. I got a stylish loafer style with no strings and can wear them anywhere. Thank you Skechers. Jerry Browning, Aberdeen, wa. 😅😊

They want to go home to God.

My father was experiencing advanced dementia in his last couple of years (in a nursing home). He would say this. I did the stuff that she advises, just "winging it". He passed before it became a serious issue. I want anyone who loves me to END ME before I get to that point. Hopefully one will, if needed.

You've helped me with this. I've puzzled over this for years. Thank you.

'Great advice in the vid'.

Asking them to explain their home and the feelings associated with it is something I haven't tried and seems like a great idea. Thank you!

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I was playing the piano for my patient but daughter said no. Said that it's exacerbated hid hydrocephalus. I've never heard of nonsense like that in my life. But hey, she's the boss. Pity. The patient loved the music more than the TV programs that he can't see bc he's blind.

I was playing piano for my patient to distract him but the daughter said that I shouldn't, that it's harmful to his hydrocephalus. I've never heard of anything like that in my entire life. But hey, I don't wanna lose the work so I don't play. Pity, he loved the music. Hes blind and they park him in front of the TV for entertainment 😑 might as well play taped music to him but what do I know ⁉️🤔

Thanks

thank you IMMENSELY!!!

"Slip in," not "slip on." If you look up "slip on", you'll get shoes without the shoe horn technology, e.g. loafers.

I cant hear you!

my mom in law has probably stage 3-4. She gets really upset if she can't find something and she'll say"I don't know what's wrong with me, I can't remember anything!".Also her husband that doesn't have dementia but has physical problems has aids that come in.(they help her with things too) she really gets upset when they're there when we come over. I don't think she does that to them when it's only them.She says things like "I don't know why they're here, they don't do anything (they do ),I don't like them in the house." What do we say to her when she does these things to calm her down. We try reasoning but we know that doesn't work.We'll say,"but you know dad needs the help, he can't shower by himself etc.."
