First. Ed was a doctor. It was his oath to heal and inform patients. Ed is still healing and educating, his people. It’s his world wide teaching moment. If you don’t get it, you probably have never been a caregiver and especially in this situation. From me to the Salinger family, a huge thank you. Gramps, is still educating the public and if we’re so inclined, we’re learning. This caregiver is listening and learning!!! ♥️💜♥️💕♥️💜♥️

As an African woman who comes from a culture where you first respect, honour and care for your parents, I salute this man and so will many black Africans. You see there is this view in Africa that people in the west abandon their parents when they are old and just put them in nursing homes. I held this view until I saw this man Dan and his brother mark look after their papa. I was impressed and emotional at the same time. In Africa abandoning your parents is such a taboo that society will ostracise you and the backlash can be intense, so for us we honour our parents and must take care of them. God bless Dan and mark. My respect for them is deep.

[@Ossie7236]

And Danielle, not forgetting Grandpa Ed himself. You are changing and educating us how to navigate around home based family care of our beloved sufferers of dementia with pride and dignity. My heart swells with pride every time I watch Ed, Dan, Danniel, Mark..and the ever present dog 😅

Ed & Dan's Videos Are So Wholesome The Salinger Family Is An Excellent Example Of How To Deal With And Make The Best Of A Heartbreaking Family Reality

[@kathleenevers7016]

it’s funny how people who were never in your shoes want to tell you

[@flagshipbuilds]

Ed's videos are great. People will always nit pick and think too much into something. Keep up the good work!

[@eeNORMous1]

The doctor did have a valid point when she said she's not sure if the patients have the ability to consent. She has a point. I don't think anyone can dispute that. Side effects of "freedom"

[@sandras1212]

The Salingers are a beautiful family helping to educate others on dememtia. The father is well looked after snd I love seeing theri posts each and every day. ❤

[@reneeblair7593]

I love watching Ed and Dan videos. They are made with love and Ed is well taken cared of by his family. You can see the love his family has for him. They are very supportive of him making sure he is well taken care of.

[@lydiamoore7329]

Nothing is wrong with Dad and Dan posting as long as he is clean and taking care of nicely and it is done in a respectful and dignified manner

[@cookiescott2165]

Don't pay attention to haters. You are teaching patience to people going through the same. Not everyone would take their parents in they would simply just put them in a home and guess what you are not there daily to see what is going on. Keep doing what you are doing. People need to walk in your shoes before they make comments that hurt. I have been through it with both my parents. GOD bless all your family. Hugs to Grandpa ED.❤❤❤❤

[@caroldowdle1503]

Love the videos and that Dan and his brother look after Ed. He could be in a home with one PSW caring for 10 or more people. The weigh scale tips way over for them to be with family. One on one care ❤

[@johannas.l.brushane2518]

I Love them as well. I worked at a home for elderly a couple of years before and during my uni years. There were people staying that hade physical issues and/or dementia. Most hade relatives who visited very often of which some had a bad conscience for not being able to look after them, but realistically it may be the exception that people have the financial possibility to be a full time carer even of states often support some. And depending om the healthstatus of the aged parent it could be just too much, it's perhaps vetter to remain a caring familymember than an insufficient caregiver. Ed is forgetful yet still his kind personality. Sometimes people have a personality change added to the forgetfulness and maybe physically handicapped, and even of the familymember att an intellectual level understand it's the illness saying or doing vile things it can be very difficult to not having it eating att your own mind.

[@Phyllis1956]

So true ❤

[@debbiebooker4649]

I Love Ed's Videos.

[@camishanimmons1766]

OMG!!!! I abhor SM and news "talk shows! God Bless this family. Signed a nurse who's sick of people's nonsense!

[@lisad4013]

This is all ridiculous. People build communities online for support and awareness. They get to see examples. He’s right. Showing Es in his current state is important, vulnerable and wholesome. This lady is proving exactly why Dan and his family should be sharing because the do’s and don’ts list is different for everyone.

[@Phyllis1956]

Caregiver for my husband who has PSP, similar illness to Ed’s. This is a great site, his dad is always treated with love and dignity.

[@glitch._]

Wether people agree with the tiktok posting or not, videos like Ed’s have put Alzheimer’s and dementia in the spotlight and now it’s being talked about where it might not have normally been acknowledged. That is a win in my book. ❤

[@kickboxer8173]

i support him as a caregiver myself

[@or2488]

In Mexico we take care of our elders, regardless if they have dementia or not. My mom started with dementia a couple of years ago, it is not easy for both of us, but we are trying, every day is a new chapter. Bravo to mr. Sallinger fro sharing their daily routine! The most important is the love that you show to them, not if you are a professional in dementia, most of all they need love, and laughter!!!❤

[@RLSCS]

When my late husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer, I became his full time caregiver without knowing any of the challenges we would face. Even though the caregiving dynamics of this family is different from the one I experienced, I feel that these videos will be helpful for many people. I support and appreciate your family’s willingness to share your experiences.

[@kimleacw1]

I am so glad I found you all on IG. It was so isolating going through this with my mother-in-law and my husband and I felt so alone. It really lifts our spirits to see this.

[@debrakiser1976]

Dan is an attorney so he knows the law...so he knows what he is doing..and I've watched several of Dan and Danielle videos on KZbin..and I've never seen them post anything that would make Ed look bad....

[@mistiinseattle]

Dan's videos of Dr Ed are always tasteful and respectful and show what a kind, generous man his dad is. Ed has a great sense of humor and dearly loves his family, which clearly shows. I am sure there are things which happen that Dan does not post because be always wants to show his dad in a positive light. Dan and Danielle do a great job of taking care of Ed.

[@akusuaakoto9893]

I follow them and love them. I wish I had that support. You don't know what someone is going through caring for their parents. I do however understand the issue of ethical.

[@nikkifernandez9913]

People who put down people like Dan, who post videos of his dad Ed, do it for educational purposes of what caring for a dementia person is like

[@susankoster5644]

Ah, realy????? I appreciate the videos of Ed.

[@cindypatrick785]

I came across dans videos on UTube and I find comfort in knowing that the struggles I’m having on this , now 7 yr journey, with my 87 yr old dad who is living with mixed dementia ( Alzheimer’s & vascular)is being experienced by other daughters and sons. It is a tough ride but others made it to the end and I know I can too🙂. 11:27

[@eligioortiz5783]

Some people like to talk shit . Dan and his wife are doing a great job with Ed . Some ass hole would have put him in a home . Dan , God bless you and your wife .

[@thandekancube3212]

People must relax, what everybody who cares for their parent. I would protect my Gran with my life am grateful that care could be provided until her passing at 95. Have help and accept help

[@joybrehaut9416]

Takes caregiving out of the closet. Love it. Dan, Mark and his dad have enough money to do it right... Like hire additional help when its needed. Some aren't so fortunate so it is looking at privileged care giving.

[@user-gx5iq9sn9m]

Caring for someone with Dementia/Alzheimer's is difficult. You shouldnt judge. As long as the caregivers are loving, kind, keeping them safe and meeting their needs then you need to respect them for what many others won't do!!

[@gisellespringer]

Just like someone to voice their opinion when they have no idea what their talking about. I knew nothing about the disease or have seen it play out in real life before watching these videos. Thank you for posting. Your dad is proud of you. I guarantee that. God bless you and your family! Happy holidays ❤️

[@jennie413]

I think the Salinger Family posts are beautiful - the beauty of our country means if you don't like it - please change the channel. AND I LOVE these family posts and find this is my favorite part of my day.

[@mistiinseattle]

The videos do not "cross a line." They are about real life of what its like caring for someone with dementia. This is the most loving family you will ever see anywhere, and they have captured the hearts of millions of us online. Its not rose colored glasses... it is real life, and they do a great job. On the internet there are always going to be nasty critical people. Just ignore them and move along. They are the ones crossing lines with their rude hatefulness

[@Nyaromita]

Dan you and your brother r good sons to your father coz not all children take good care of their parents when they are old or have problems n I hope you'll get more blessings.

[@joannhatcher5571]

Salinger ok leave him alone

[@saramarshall2957]

It's the reality of the situation. Dan wants to post the reality and if you have watched Ed, then one thing you know for sure is he loves his kids and wants them all to be happy and thrive and anyway he can help to do that, he wants to do.

[@mddell58]

🤔❓ I'm trying to figure out WHY this page, 'The Salinger Farm' is still on here. Dan & Danielle BOTH have stated that they are NOT affiliated with THIS Y.T. channel. Interesting. 🤔

[@karinamuksch-mederitsch-ij4yf]

❤

[@JfromtheVille]

Ed is cool.

[@IamRemoWilliams]

Yous that disagree with Dan posting pops really should really re evaluate what you disagree with.

[@marycarlin1911]

Because the so-called scientists are afraid you may figure things out before they do , so leave the family's alone that are taking great care of their parents

[@dayapo5132]

y’all need to stop meddling with this fabulous family. go see if the pig laid eggs.

[@mistyflores7778]

Stopped watching this video when she started it's unethical to show any video with someone that has dementia. Wth they aren't showing anything personal like them bathing. This is what people need to know they are still ok while taking care of family with this condition. And I unsubscribe to the channel.

[@ildikomolnar8437]

Dignity? It is educational! Nude ,gay ,transgenders exhibition all over. How about that dignity??

[@lah_bang2179]

SALINGER FARM - how can you create an account and post other people's video? That's LAZINESS - absurd! Unsubscribed here.
