An Intellectually Disabled Senior with Dementia (And Her Caregiving Brother)

Kay is a darling woman. Dementia is such a scary and trying condition. I wish her and her family the best.

Jessica seems like a lovely caring woman. But personally I am disabled and didn't like her saying "we". However, if Kay is alright with it then that is what matters.

the way she comforts gerald when he’s getting emotional is so sweet

[@NadineMiller1974]

We all need a Kay in our lives🤗 I am 49 and was blessed from a toddler to be around amazing ladies like Kay. I grew up in So Cal in the 70's and there was a older couple in our church who had a mentally challenged adult daughter. Instead of putting her in a institution/hospital as many people did in the 50's-60's, they decided to open their large home to others like her. I spent so much time into my teens with the ladies, they thought I was their lil doll😊 The family home is still around to this day. I became a nanny for a teenage girl who was mentally about 3 and it was very rewarding. Then my career as a flight attendant put me around so many wonderful smiling faces like Kay.

Hello! ​@@Melissa0774 as an intellectual myself I'm trying to understand your comment here bc it was kind of out of place there but I don't think she was putting it that way she meant to say that now she is a former flight attendant but she sees people with intellectual disabilities everyday in that it puts a smile on her face :)

[@carolmorris2705]

It’s never easy to be caretakers to a disabled adult. There are challenges which try the patience of even the most loving and supportive of people. The key is cooperation and coordination. The entire family works together to keep Kay active, feeling needed, clean and happy. It’s a privilege to watch them tell their story. I’m so impressed by the mature and caring attitude Liberty and America have toward their aunt. This helps Jessica stay positive as she does the bulk of the caregiving. I hope this family has some outside help in order for them to get away and decompress from time to time. Wishing them all the best. 🌹

It's a blessing that she was never put into a institution. We know that during the time she was a young child and even a young adult, many families were pressured to place their children into institutions bc there wasnt much support, understanding, and knowledge about these conditions or disabilities. Kay is very lucky to have had her mother who was dedicated to caring for her. And now her brother, sister in law and nieces, as they are lucky to have her

[@MarianaArboledaF]

I loved how Kay's nieces immediately knew how to help her so she could answer Chris's questions. The whole family seems so great

[@pearlshifer1776]

Kay is so sensitive to her brother's feelings, she knows exactly when he needs a hug. So touching...♥

[@blazertundra]

I'm glad to see an interview with older folks who were born with disabilities. Kay's sweet demeanor reminds me of my neighbor who is a disabled adult in her forties. We can easily turn a quick trip ro the mailbox into an hour long conversation. These people are just as wise as their more typical peers and have a thing or two to teach us about slowing down, being realistic, and yet finding joy in every part of life.

Let alone for a sister-in-law to do it! Jessica is a gem!

[@LoverofSunflowernBees]

I’m one of them. But my mother doesn’t want to leave him behind for anyone to take care of him but a facility. And I’m upset! Because those places are awful.. they don’t take care of patients in them and no one is going to understand my brother like I do and I am older than him. My brother is non verbal and doesn’t sign doesn’t walk doesn’t eat by mouth and he isn’t toilet trained… and mentally he is between 18 months and three years old when it comes to coming to the understanding that he has to go to bed. Or that he needs to get dressed.

[@jules3666]

To Gerald: The term “retard” isn’t offensive because it’s too straightforward; it’s offensive because people often use it in a hurtful way, so it became known as a hurtful word. It’s fine to be straightforward about disabilities! In fact most of us prefer it 🥰

Not everybody is cut out to care for the mentally disabled. I personally am one of those people. I care so much and want so badly for people like Kay to be happy and have friends etc & it breaks my heart when they don't have friends etc. That being said, I cannot handle being around someone like Kay for very long without getting irritated and annoyed. I don't mean after just one hour but I mean all day or like this guy who has his sister living with him. No way, I couldn't do it.

[@jcvc2011]

The love Gerald is showing Kay is amazing. Thank you for the video.

[@rnedens]

Kay is so happy, seeing her joy makes me happy! A little tip for communicating with people with dementia I learned from when my nana was in the last stages of dementia: Asking a direct question can sometimes be too confronting because they might feel put on the spot and the might feel insecure about forgetting a lot and they might clamp up or lash out because of it, whereas if you prompt them with a memory of your own they'll start sharing stories that are related to the topic. So instead of asking: Did you have any pets? You can say: When I grew I had a dog namesd Felix and he would always chase a ball with with stars. And they'll naturally start sharing stories about their pets or a neighbors pet they remember.

[@nightyew2160]

Wow, that sounds like a great tip. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for showing someone older with disabilities! My grandma has physical disabilities and I have epilepsy and POTS and we take care of each other and I always wondered how much people like her aren’t featured on here. Of course I know it’s usually special kids not seniors. But my grandma is mostly deaf and mostly immobile and she acquired both of these disabilities as she got older so it’s a unique point of view. So please continue to feature older people

[@Kai-eb1fv]

I liked hearing Kay’s brother talk about how the words have changed over the years, it helped me gain a new perspective- I’m a lot younger than him, so I’ve only ever heard the r word being used as a slur against me and people like me, so I tend to feel automatically afraid of people who use it, but it’s nice to see that some folks genuinely don’t mean it that way :) I’ll keep that context in mind next time im talking with an older person about this stuff

[@nightyew2160]

It's such an unfortunate cycle. People start to use a word in a mean way until the word itself becomes offensive. Then the people who want to be kind have to invent new politically correct words, but as the mean people adopt the new words they become the new insult. It is such a temporary bandaid on a problem that won't truly go away until we learn to respect everyone.

[@luchirimoya]

I'm not that old, but I feel like I have witnessed the full circle of the "r-word" while growing up. When I was a kid, it was used as a genuine medical diagnosis, or to refer to someone with an obvious intellectual disability. Then, when I was a teenager, it was used as an insult and something offensive. Now that I'm an adult, it is mostly seen as a slur and we've replaced it with other terms. Funny how languages work and evolve honestly.

Kay is such a sweetheart. One of my aunts has dimentia and alzheimer's. She doesnt remember anyone or anything now. Its heartbreaking to see her in the condition she is now vs how she was before her illnesses took over her mind and body. She became agressive and had to be placed in a nursing home where she has now 24/7 care and doctors and nurses. She is well cared for but Its hard for my mom and I to visit because we dont have transportation and its a bit far from us where she is at...so we get to visit her when ever my moms brother and wife go, they pick us up along with another uncle and we all go together. But it gets emotional because she hardly talks now and just stares at people like babies do. She needs to be hand fed and she cant walk. She can sit in a wheel chair for a while before they have to put her in bed again. I left in tears last time I went to see her. I do find some confort in knowing that she is being well taken care of and she eats very well and that is super important. Anyway just wanted to share that, be safe everyone.✌️

When I was in year 9, my school offered an after-school activity in which we went to a retirement home with a group of students and spent time with the elderly every Monday. I met a lot of amazing people like Kay there. One woman stuck out cause she was one of the rare cases of dementia, with which the person consciously realizes that they’re having it and how they’re losing their memory. That caused her to suffer from depression. She cried a lot and often times we would just sit with her and play with her, talk to her or go for a walk with her when she was deeply in a depressed episode. She had a huge family, but never had any of them visiting her, which made her depression even worse. And that’s why I‘m so happy that Kay has such a loving and caring family. The way she laughs and smiles just tells me that she’s happy about being with her family and seeing how much her family cares for her moved me to tears. The woman in the retirement home told me and the other students: „I may lose my memory, but the feeling of being truly happy and feeling loved, I will never lose that.“ And I think that’s what we should remind ourselves of: if we know a person with dementia or have a family member with dementia, they still need our love and care, they still need us, even though it might be challenging for us to accept that our loved one is losing their memory. They need us. Love always wins!

Her easy laughter brought a smile to my face after having a crappy day dealing with my own mental challenges. Thank you Kay, you are a sweet lady.
