Love these tips - especially the one about eating with the person who has dementia because it will prompt them to eat - additionally, you can be there to help them.
I DONT THINK A PERSON WITH ADVANCED DEMENTIA CAN KEEP UP WITH THEIR HOME LET ALONE TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES. IM TALKING ABOUT ADVANCED DEMENTIA. I WISH THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS DEMENTIA. I SEEN LOVED ONES JUST SLOWLY WITHER AWAY. I HATE IT 😢
My 92 year old mother has stage 4 Alzheimer's. She has lived alone for 30 years since my dad died. She is stubborn and in denial of her condition, thinking that she can cope. I organized home help for her meals, small household tasks and medication requirements. Mothers refusal of assistance, non compliant and insisting she could manage, meant that this service was withdrawn after 2 months. Mother will not consider meals on wheels or a ready meal delivery, due to her stubborn nature. She eats frugally and saves tiny portions of uneaten food in the fridge or freezer. Mother forgets where certain food items are stored- despite labelling on her cupboards- and often goes without basic items such as potatoes. Her condition deteriorates weekly and still she continues down the lonely road of this disease.
@@SweetColo Hello Pam! Good to hear that someone knows what we’ve all had to endure , regarding my mother. After a fall in June this year and her refusal to go to hospital, mother was finally admitted after doctors intervention and another ambulance call out. She remembered nothing of her fall, and said she was fine. In hospital , however , she caught Covid . By this time her mental and physical condition had severely deteriorated and she was assessed by a Care Home Manager. Mother was deemed to have no capacity to self maintain and was quickly admitted into a Care Home. There, she suffered from a chest infection and died peacefully in December of last year. She was almost 95 years of age and we were so relieved that her long arduous journey was finally over. Best wishes to you and your mother.
@@janetfishwick8887 oh Janet, I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. But she lived a good long life. Well, not so good at the end, but it must have so hard for you, as I well know with a very very stubborn parent. My mom also get very mean and argumentative with Sundowndowners every afternoon at 4pm like clockwork . It’s almost unbearable. But I pray for grace and patience everyday to get me through it. God bless you❤️❤️❤️
@@SweetColo Pam. You will get through this. It just takes time and a whole of patience, gritted teeth, frustration and a bit of despair. But I’m sure you can do it. Thinking of you. JPF.
this is such a dumb answer. how is the world a person with dementia is going to be safe alone? maybe in your "rich" world with bunch of assistance and people taking care of the person? my mother is in a nursing home because i start founding her every weekend with a new cut , burn, loosing weight or bruises, even is apparently she can "do" lots of things, a Home by her self and all the tasks that it takes was not longer safe for her as well is for most people with dementia.
@@texasmimi5566 Sorry that i hurt your feelings, facts are more important. in the world we are living today, all structured by apps, electronic payments and smartphones, an elder person with dementia can't survive alone in a home.
My aunt cannot live at home. I can't accommodate her in my home as I have my parents. My aunt has severe dementia. I'm getting her placed at a facility close by. Her injuries are falls and somehow suffered 3rd degree burns. Not by the stove. Can't figure out how she burned herself.

We're so glad you found the information helpful!
Your doing an excellent job of explaining this topic, thank you
For late stages of dementia (Alzheimer's) no way this would be possible unless you can provide 24 hour home care. Therefore you are not living alone.

I am 72 and getting very forgetful. I use Alexa a lot. I don't know how I managed without the reminders and timers.

Your sarcasm is noted and not appreciated.

What's the difference between normal aging and true dementia?
I have 2 calcium deposits in my Basal Ganglia. How dangerous is that. Is it possible to have them removed?
Great video, very informative! Eating together helps the other person want to eat. Been trying new things to see what works!
What advice would you give some one with partial dementia?
lol thats a loaded question does someone actually live alone with dementia someones of yesteryear is always with them
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF LBD❓
This is very clear. Thanks
