"Thank you! The Dementia Australia program has been wonderful for refreshing what we know and learning new things. Thanks to everyone who contributed."

Excellent

A beautiful explanation of the impacts of dementia. Thank you for sharing your stories here, and let's keep raising awareness to reduce the stigma of this illness.

no mention of the cause ... or even theory being researched .. a treatment for symptoms using anti psychotic meds is mentioned - but that is just a very inofficient bandaid for the symptoms

thank you for sharing.

Excellent video Val.

David needs a script or a time limit because I wanted to hear more from Liz 🥲

Very touching

im Jame's mate and I work with him . he tells me lots about you . wish you well mate

I moved my mom to residential care in january 2022, she passed away in may 2023. I still feel guilty although rationally I understand I could not offer her better care at home at that time.

It sure it’s a huge learning curve- hearing some of the problems within a dementia facility, fills me with dread should I be unfortunate enough to have to move my dear wife and friend into such an environment. Hearing about the way these poor souls are having to deal with what could upset them. Right now , my wife has difficulty even finding her way around our home. Moving here a year ago because my daughter wanted to sell her rental property where we lived for 4.5 years was very traumatic. At night - the need for the toilet - I’m woken to provide light and a direction - “ pointing - “ out that door then right and right! Providing guidance constantly - where the fridge is - the pantry! Also Very aware of the attitude “ oh, they’ve got Alzheimer’s My most recent lesson - don’t ask “ why are you getting aggressive “ - it rebounds immediately! No matter how calmly I have said it. Try and report what the plan is for the next step. Normally , Ruth has always washed her own hair but “ tomorrow “ is always a good time. Delay after delay. Finally, I arranged a treat for a hair wash. Immediately she became aggressive, I made the mistake of saying - it’s not like you to be aggressive. Eventually not responding to any comments. We EVENTUALLY got her to a hairdresser. She enjoyed it thoroughly - sadly I didn’t video the event. “ for the next time “ ‘

I agree Garrie, De-escalation training is not that available as it should be..

So beautiful!!

Communication is very important to everyone living in or working with these categories of people who could be anywhere in the community

Thanks so much for the presentation it’s absolutely an enhancement working with people with undiagnosed and diagnosed conditions.

Communication: Important to introduce yourself. Who you are. Why you’re here. What benefit to the person/client are you. Sharon’s explanation about using common sense and being empathetic to the individual and being respectful is so good and important By being respectful and polite to a client (including in front of others) engenders reciprocal respect. Just because a person is living with dementia doesn't mean they are no longer their individual selves and understand what going on but just not able to communicate back to others. I think it vital that all carers understand that the person living with dementia used to be a healthy, vital, average (or not) person and that they just happen to have this debilitating illness and they need our help to live the best life they can.

This has been the only thing I found on it everything else is lewy body dementia I cannot find anything on disease. My dad was just diagnosed and I am lost because I hardly know what it is

This is a fantastic video. Currently studying my masters as I'm extremely passionate about this. Well done 👏

Comments like that are really demeaning and don’t respect your concerns and legitimate worries.

😅I have made sure that as many people as possible Know that I have dementia. In a few cases it has meant that some people dismiss me but when I tell my friends and the people who really care about me, they are concerned and understanding. It isn’t a disease you can catch.I have found people are happy to,know why I am behaving the way I do.

Could people of other nations use this App?

Thank you for this video! Most aged care clinics should explore Med diet to the residents and not those fancy looking five-star meals as advertised.

Brilliant - just wonderful to see the atmosphere and care change for the betterment of the residents with and without dementia, happier staff and families. Small steps to create big changes.

Thank you

It is the most hideous disease. My 90 year old mother is in a constant state of hallucinations both visually and auditory. She is always cursing and fighting with her imaginary enemies. She also has alzeimers disease on top of her lewy body. Double whammy. I won't even mention her bipolar disorder. It's like takng care of a tiger. I wish they had Real therapies, but they dont.

Sounds horrendous :(

People are so very ignorant of this medical condition. I told my only family member about my diagnosis & they said, “you haven’t got that or you wouldn’t be talking to me as you are now.” 😡. It really hurt that they felt I was lying. 😢
