Doing a Replay

My hb doesn't have scary hallucinations. I was told that for lewy body they were pleasant.

4.15 . I started a small airbnb to help my Mum . She always talked about how busy she was in the grand central Belfast . I had this dream of us running a guesthouse but she’s not so good at doing house work anymore but reading her the reviews and going to the laundrette really brightens her up …. makes her feel she is still contributing … very important 😊

I remember you talking about the lessening of taist, feeling in finger tips, other sences as well.

Good question. And good insights.

These videos Teepa has so generously prepared have helped me care, and minister to, people with dementia. I have a very important person in my life that has been like a parent my entire life. Now she’s in her 80’s and has dementia. Thank God I have this information action that empowers me to care for her more effectively.

Such kind knowledge. I will use it with my client. Gracias

Great information.

Always so helpful! Thank u!!

😮😢

Very helpful when you demonstrate what u are talking about.

I have learn quite a bit of info from.youband viedio thx

Thank u Teepa and Greg. Helpful insights

I had a traumatic brain injury and had some behavior changes.i thought lots of things were funny. And couldnt make any decisions . Lucky for me it was temporary, only lasted a few months

Thank you for telling us about this situation. This does seem complicated.

I am sharing this with my group at Pasadena Village, and I'm starting the Champion classes for myself.

you are amazing Teepa

An AAC device or augmentative and alternative communication device is a tool that helps people with speech or language impairments communicate. The device that my husband uses is called a LINGRAPHICA. This device helps tremendously in the early stages of PPA when your loved one is still able to understand how to use it. The best part is, you can bank your loved ones voice. Our speech pathologist implements this in our sessions. Also an app called Constant Therapy is also great! My husband was diagnosed in 2021 with FTD/nfPPA. It is a cruel disease! The best advice I can give is to go into your loved ones world, because they don’t have a choice, but we do. Find a great support system. For family and friend, please educate yourself so you are able to fully understand the disease and be the best support system for your loved one. Blessings to all.

I'm wondering how you assess someone who grew up in another country like Germany?

Is there ever a situation when familiar family (e.g., spouse or children) with a positive relationship history should be limited by a facility to one daily visit of 90 minutes or less?

What are some specific products or APPs that provide pictures please?

My husband of 55 years has dementia (I think LBD) we may find out next week. He has had it for 7 or 8 years with the symptoms. It hits me that I am watching my husband slowly die and feel like I am in a sad state most of the time. I do some things to bring some happiness but this is nothing but awful. I play my part and show happiness and make jokes etc. for his sake. But it is really hard to not just sink into sadness. What a tough trial.

Great information and helpful tips

thank you for your teachings

Thank you Teepa. This is very reaI. left a relationship 4 years ago due to my ex exhibiting these behaviors and he was in a car accident where he had mild TBI frontal lobe. We had been friends previously for decades literally. I tried everything to encourage him to get help because I knew him way before the accident and after and his behaviors were extreme at times. Eventually, I had to walk away because it was affecting my mental health. It still bothers me to this day. I hope and pray he receives the help he needs.

Thank you, Teepa

I just started work as a CNA and have no experience with dementias. Everyone tells me the same thing: find Teepa and watch everything. Thank you. Incredible work.

i think i forgot to watch this video

My dad had supranecular palsy

So how do I prepare for end?? How

My husband has FTD-ALZ it's confusing..hard and SAD...

Great Video. Thank you.

Home arse is where my memories the trees I planted the entire life I lived is home not your tricky dicky version of the destructive freedom stealing of your version of home where we raised the children etc. You robot vacuum cleaner.

Your expression is equivalent to a man tricking a kid with candy your obviously a plant plant her in the yard at home !!

Dumbfk. Your a disgrace to the human race you don't realize from a child to adult status what home is you go home to hell you crazy ,nurse rachet !!

Moron it means just what it says I want to go home the one stolen by greedy relatives hanging on me like vultures waiting to get a free life from who duh bimbo me I wanna go where I came frowhat I paid for my life you ignorant greedy asswipe .

Is it unproductive to tell my husband that his cruelty is evidence of his advancing dementia? 0:09

Thank you Susan and Sam .❤

I think we should all consider ourselves As Mandated reporters.

Hi Greg 🎉 u do a great job on these videos. TY

Thank you Teepa for teaching all of us !

FALLS are accidents. Accident’s happen. 20 yr Stroke Survivor. Just passed 1 yr mark of NO falls. It’s been many years since I’ve celebrated this big deal. Life Alert is only jewelry I own. Be gentle with our guilt.

Hi Teepa, I am caring for my mother with dementia. She has shown signs for the last 5 years. I have been trying with all I have to navigate her care. My parents were married for 73 years. My father passed away this past January. I am not sure she grasped he passed away but early on she would say, oh I forgot he is here anymore. But now it is where is your father, why hasn't he called, is your father already upstairs in bed, and so on. I have been diverting, distracting, and change subject for some time. Is there something else I need to do. Is it ever ok to say, Momma- Pappa has passed away.? His urn is visible in her room. She has put his veteran baseball caps with it but I am not sure she really knows. Just a little advise would be helpful.

Hi, I just started working with dementia patients and I found this very useful. Thank you. Some of the people I work with do not have the verbal skills shown in this video - it would be helpful to learn how to deal with that kind of a situation, when it's not so obvious what is agitating the person. How do you show a person you are on their side when they have lost language?

Does home-based care or Assisted Living offer better care? What are the pros and cons?
