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.

Discussing her favorite topics may be comforting to her. Also by asking questions and engaging her in conversation you may be able to redirect the another topic if the current one is stressful. Remember too that strategies may work some days and not others. The idea is to find what works for you and have many options to choose from. Best of luck.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks for your comment. Can you figure out why they don’t want to go into the bathroom? Modesty or fear of falling or any number of other reasons could be behind the avoidance. If you can figure out the “why” you’re so much closer to solving the problem.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I’m so glad the video was helpful to you. It is not unusual to encounter these types of statements to avoid bathing. Try to get to the reason behind why your person doesn’t want to bathe…is it fear, a question of modesty, does he/she not want to get cold? There are myriad reasons but the key is to figure out which one you need to address to make bathing less scary or uncomfortable. Best of luck!!

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.
@dementiacarehub
@dementiacarehub 5 ай бұрын
Yes of course each person may have a different need as the basis of the request to go home. If a desire for more independence is at the heart I would try to come up with ways the person could safely do self-care and other activities that are suited to her abilities.

Of courser this is a difficult scenario. I would try to think of a reason that reassures her.

I will create another video on this topic and post the link here. Thanks for your question.

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.

they want to go home to a real place, a place where they can feel comfortable, and fit in. They usually don't think of God or Heaven as being home with their family. They are looking for security, and peace.

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.

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.

Wow! If he seemed to enjoy it, WHY wouldn't they want tht??? Tht doesn't make ANY sense! My mom doesn't have ANY hobbies but she loves going to church [she used to sing alot but don't anymore] She used to sing w/ my dad too but he passed almost 10 yrs ago! So she hasn't done tht in several yrs! She DOESN'T seem HAPPY at all - I take her out some but she wants to hurry & get back home! It's so challenging to care for a loved one w/ Dementia! She started getting noticeable symptoms as soon as my dad passed & now I wonder IF there were little signs BEFORE he died, he was a month being 85 when he died - he prob wouldn't have noticed it! He got feeble a few WKS BEFORE he got worse & they took him off his heart meds & then he died a wk latr!! I was SO upset they took him off his heart pills! I didn't even know tht for a long time latr! Thank you for the video! I'll def try to work on my strategy more! You said alot & to the point, I liked tht! So Thx again! 💓😇💓

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