The first step to taking care of a loved one suffering from dementia is having the willingness to fully understand what they're going through. This video has been very helpful and a great educational tool. Thank you so much for uploading this.

This beautiful lady narrator has an excellent point. Let them pick their own point in time. Say for one. Its 1950 to her & she just got married. Don't tell her her husband died in 1975. Let her have her experience of 1950 now.

The best explanation of how to talk to a AD patient I have found so far. Thank you. Join them on their trip down the memory lane. No reasoning, no corrections. I've seen people talking for minutes on end to a AD client who just shut down and stopped listening after 3 words. One more common mistake: do not ask them too many questions about everything. Do not ask them to tell you which out of 5 fruits they want. They will not know and they will get confused. Put the fruits in front of them and they will choose what they fancy... :) be their guide.

My mother just diagnosed with this horrible disease 😓 I’m with my mom 24/7 🙏🏻❤️ God helping me 🙏🏻

[@joytotheworld2100]

Great video. Even 10 years later, wonderful advice about talking about what they are interested in. I cried watching this as my mother had alzheimers and passed on years ago. Still makes me sad for her.

[@clemithadsouza6588]

This is really an amazing explaination of how to gently take care of them and put them at ease. I am sure it has added great value to my professional learning.

[@NSPIREDCAREGIVERBOOK]

This is a great video! I cannot tell you how many professional and nonprofessional caregivers who, when asked, tell the person who is suffering with dementia that their spouse passed away. Now they mourn again! Many of us are untrained caregivers. Some of us feel stuck in the caregiver role! Dementia is so cruel for everyone involved! Thank you for this advice! Great information. Caregivers need all the help we can get!

[@tkomla]

This seems to demonstrate accurate and compassionate understanding and models effective, kindly support for a tender elder. Thank you for this.

[@deborahgolob6275]

This brought me tears..my mother was super bright and helped me to become a teacher i lost her to alzheimers it was so sad My mother was the. Glue that held our family together. The first thing the dr told me to look in her cheek book omg !

[@TheBaldMan28]

I found this to be very informative. As a student, I'd like to be able to see more of this, to better my understanding of the practical side of communication with residents. Best video i've seen so far.

[@carolechapla6505]

Thank you for posting this great video.

[@yanpinghuang8154]

Thank you for sharing .

[@NSPIREDCAREGIVERBOOK]

GREAT VIDEO! Thank you! I cared for Rose who had dementia. It was as though she left her body and an evil spirit entered her! It was horrible! They talk about abuse to the patient, but what about abuse to the caregiver? Caregivers need all the help they can get! The Inspired Caregiver book is a huge help! I am concerned with the rate at which this illness is growing! it's terrible for both the patient and the caregiver- with glimpses of precious moments. Thank you again for this video.

[@cockaheuck1534]

Inspired. I can explain. What it is. I believe the spirit is leaven the body long before shy dies. Rose the spirit is moving on. But Rose the ego in her body is still fighting it & that is not really Rose. But just her body with it own ego.

[@cockaheuck1534]

Rose is probably looking down and observing the body's reaction & Rose is smiling as she moves on & going to the next level. (( Rose & her Guardian Angels )) with Gods Percent.

[@glitchykareoke]

I've been at my wits end with my grandfather. it's been very hard. I haven't been taught how to do look after someone who is slowly getting worse memory wise. this is the first video I came along that actually helped me.

[@dimitylong792]

Julzella Go to Molly's Movement, it's a son video taping his mother's experience with dementia, very interesting for me, try watching this it's on KZbin

MsLilacLover1 It's Molly's Movement

[@annwinifredandalfredjamesp8851]

Julzella You know how, when a person is depressed, it's necessary to get into that hole with them and guide their footsteps upwards? Similarly with dementia - you enter their world and their reality and live those moments and days alongside them. Helping dementia sufferers to live without reminding them of painful events. But reliving and enjoying all that brings them happiness and peace. Xo

[@enisulastri897]

suport family is important

[@bronwynbeecroft1871]

Advantages for the dementia sufferer with going with the flow.

[@jerrydole9327]

You may improve memory, focus and concentration, plus prevent the risk of dementia by training your brain everyday.

[@cockaheuck1534]

I agree with wonderful ladies It can be heartbreaking. I can deal ok with an infantile bedridden diaper wearing patient lying in their waste with bliss on their face. But when you see the despairing look on their face. Knowing they are losing their memories.

[@cockaheuck1534]

Man. I can tear your heart out. I do pee pee a lot in my pants. But I can live with that. I am OK with that. But losing your soul. Knowing your memory is failing. Well {{ THATS A NIGHTMARE }}

[@cockaheuck1534]

I rather die of a heart attact

[@cockaheuck1534]

And say laying in your waste is bad?. That's a picknick in compare.

[@dottiesmith2439]

God Bless

[@jacksongrainger9926]

This is so sad i cried

[@ohmeowzer1]

My mom has Dementia and I'm a RN .. I take care of her .. Her decline kills me

[@CeeBee781]

What's interesting is that people with AD forget people in the reverse order that they met them. They forget their children before they forget their husband, and they forget their husband before they forget their best friend from high school, and they forget their parents, who they have known their entire lives, last.

[@elianaderiver8549]

Yes this does certainly seem to be true . Its a horrific sinister disease of the brain.

[@elianaderiver8549]

+You don't even know me So don't label r judge me +Cee Bee

[@CeeBee781]

You don't even know me So don't label r judge me It's tragic. Pray my parents don't get this disease.

[@elianaderiver8549]

+Cee Bee I pray that your parents dont get alzhiemers and dimentia, my mom has it. I pray that they find a cure for this horrible disease really soon .

[@CeeBee781]

You don't even know me So don't label r judge me Me too. Sorry about your mother

[@tranuhanuo5596]

What actually causes dementia is still unknown. But you could avoid the disease by lessening the risks.

Tranu Hanuo hmmm. How do you suggest we do that? I'm doing certain things myself for preventative means. Intressted in hearing your opinion

[@janetsavona3542]

It's the aging process That's what causes it

[@cockaheuck1534]

I have a vary sad opion & compassion for real dementia. Forgetfulness cane be a nightmare. But infantile dementia is a different story. Like incontinence Pooping or peepee in bed. I am Ok with that. Unlike most people. I even like the smell of urine & I love being in bed alot. But being active an losing you memorys & knowing that you are. That is a nightmare to live with. But laying in bed in my waste. I can get a long with that.

[@Shantonn_Williams]

Why would she be insulted by the doctor asking if she had dementia in her family?

[@Lauren-mh9pt]

Because she pretty much thought it couldn't possibly happen to her.

[@horbergus]

Sure dude

This disease is so much worse than any other. Your body is still here but it's like someone took part of your brain away. I know several people who have this disease. So very sad.
