2016-09-28 06:04:52 PM cchase its not the type of music rather it is the music that speaks to them
2016-09-28 06:04:52 PM teaves can't be cured
2016-09-28 06:05:01 PM dbarry enter the chat room

2016-09-28 06:05:24 PM aturner1026 hi
2016-09-28 06:05:27 PM kimberly1 That is why it is so important to recall information to clients, and music is also a plus.

2016-09-28 06:05:52 PM cchase hi aturner

2016-09-28 06:05:59 PM dbarry what was the question
2016-09-28 06:06:18 PM cchase the question is what do you know about Alz
2016-09-28 06:06:23 PM saraheltman With activities you always have to redirect
2016-09-28 06:06:48 PM jackiebl enter the chat room
2016-09-28 06:06:49 PM cchase so music should be about the time they will most like recall
2016-09-28 06:07:02 PM cchase hi jackie
2016-09-28 06:07:09 PM kimberly1 Focus on the postive by encouraging, positive reinforcement.

2016-09-28 06:07:17 PM jackiebl hi sorry i am late-had trouble getting on
2016-09-28 06:07:27 PM robina1 the brain gets a crusty build up on it, the build up block ( nurons from connecting)
2016-09-28 06:07:28 PM angelamscott a person can live a long time or short period of time. Alzheimr's is the leading cause of dememtia

2016-09-28 06:07:45 PM cchase what do you know about Alz
2016-09-28 06:07:47 PM teaves sometimes it hard for them to communicate
2016-09-28 06:07:52 PM auazuibke0114 Hi
2016-09-28 06:08:01 PM cchase the crusty build up is called plaque
2016-09-28 06:08:10 PM robina1 thank you,
2016-09-28 06:08:25 PM cchase why do you suppose that it is hard to communicate
2016-09-28 06:08:31 PM jackiebl there's no cure-some meds are avail to slow progression-a lot is experimental
2016-09-28 06:08:33 PM auazuibke0114 Yes angelamascott
2016-09-28 06:08:35 PM cchase hi auaz
2016-09-28 06:08:39 PM angelamscott short term memory and they revert to their past
2016-09-28 06:08:47 PM cchase right jackie
2016-09-28 06:08:59 PM cchase some of those meds also make matters worst
2016-09-28 06:09:12 PM angelamscott the brain have dead cells and they are not able to get the message to the next cell
2016-09-28 06:09:13 PM teaves because of the disease, because it affects that part of the brain
2016-09-28 06:09:13 PM cchase it is very different from one person to another
2016-09-28 06:09:20 PM jackiebl yes they do-make them sedated etc
2016-09-28 06:09:21 PM robina1 the plaque cause interferrence in the brain
2016-09-28 06:09:21 PM tammymb enter the chat room
2016-09-28 06:09:22 PM dbarry thats true
2016-09-28 06:09:22 PM edithl some of my residents have dementia, my mother in law passed away with Alzheimr's it was very hard on the entire family
2016-09-28 06:09:33 PM kimberly1 Sun Downers is a symptom of it.
2016-09-28 06:09:34 PM cchase the dead cells are called synaspe
2016-09-28 06:09:41 PM auazuibke0114 THey mostly rememeber childhood memories
2016-09-28 06:09:43 PM angelamscott thank you
2016-09-28 06:09:56 PM cchase that no longer can communicate to each other because of the plaque build up
2016-09-28 06:09:56 PM dbarry it can be very stressful on the family
2016-09-28 06:09:57 PM saraheltman they tend to revert back to child like ways
2016-09-28 06:10:03 PM jackiebl yes esp traumatizing things
2016-09-28 06:10:06 PM cchase yes - so what about sun downing
2016-09-28 06:10:32 PM teaves they seem to get more confused, like they're on a mission to get somewhere sometimes
2016-09-28 06:10:37 PM saraheltman Their symptoms become worse around 3ish for our residents
2016-09-28 06:10:40 PM cchase do you think they revert back to child like ways
2016-09-28 06:10:40 PM kimberly1 They get agitated
2016-09-28 06:10:44 PM auazuibke0114 Yes the plaque build up is the major
2016-09-28 06:10:52 PM angelamscott I see it happening. I've determined that it is the resdients way of ending their day and not knowing how to do so.
2016-09-28 06:10:54 PM jackiebl happens as the sun goes down and is severe confusion,hallucinations,paranoia
2016-09-28 06:10:57 PM cchase right sarah
2016-09-28 06:10:57 PM teaves i think they do
2016-09-28 06:11:09 PM saraheltman Yes, at leasst my residents do, they become more and more dependent
2016-09-28 06:11:09 PM dbarry this causes mood change in the residents
2016-09-28 06:11:11 PM auazuibke0114 sundowners
2016-09-28 06:11:14 PM aturner1026 increased agitation and confusion
2016-09-28 06:11:29 PM edithl yes ,they do revert to traumatic events i see it every day.my residents start sundowning around 3pm also
2016-09-28 06:11:31 PM auazuibke0114 mood swing
2016-09-28 06:11:39 PM cchase they do become dependent but it is not because they go back to being children
2016-09-28 06:11:40 PM angelamscott but it may occur at different times
2016-09-28 06:11:40 PM dbarry like being cmbative lashing out
2016-09-28 06:11:54 PM cchase it is because the brain can no longer function
2016-09-28 06:12:01 PM auazuibke0114 yes they're mostly on pills
2016-09-28 06:12:14 PM cchase thus they may act out to get the message across to others
2016-09-28 06:12:24 PM dbarry and refusing to take meds and bath or eating
2016-09-28 06:12:32 PM angelamscott what is a good way to handle it, besides medication?
2016-09-28 06:12:35 PM kimberly1 We have to be very sensitive during this time and lots of redirection, maybe volume down in activity room, hand and lotion massage.
2016-09-28 06:12:41 PM jackiebl the sweetest people can turn to aggressive people
2016-09-28 06:12:44 PM cchase they can't tell you so they try another way to communicate
2016-09-28 06:12:53 PM cchase right jackie good
2016-09-28 06:12:58 PM tvs320 enter the chat room
2016-09-28 06:13:10 PM cchase angela the best way is to redirect
2016-09-28 06:13:10 PM teaves they may get agitated if you don't understand what they are trying to say
2016-09-28 06:13:19 PM auazuibke0114 oh that is why they're ver combative
2016-09-28 06:13:22 PM saraheltman and its helpful to try to reassure them and calm them, regardless if it makes sense to you
2016-09-28 06:13:30 PM amandalamireider enter the chat room
2016-09-28 06:13:32 PM cchase yes - sweetie becomes the monster
2016-09-28 06:13:35 PM auazuibke0114 ok good
2016-09-28 06:13:48 PM edithl i have a resident that became so agitated she tought one of the ladie residents was her ex husband so she attacked the other woman , well almost did , we were able to pull her back
2016-09-28 06:14:02 PM cchase yes - that is exactly why they become combative
2016-09-28 06:14:13 PM angelamscott that is when 1-1 can help
2016-09-28 06:14:15 PM cchase ops edith
2016-09-28 06:14:17 PM jackiebl i entered a few minutes late and didn't know if u needed to know i am in mepap 1-070516
2016-09-28 06:14:20 PM tvs320 sorry i am late i thought it was on swing bed
2016-09-28 06:14:21 PM cchase I have seen that before
2016-09-28 06:14:28 PM auazuibke0114 Really edithl
2016-09-28 06:14:30 PM amandalamireider left the chat room
2016-09-28 06:14:32 PM dbarry i feel the best thing to do is to just leave them alone until they carm down. then try talking to them in a carm manner
2016-09-28 06:14:34 PM cchase ok jackie ty
2016-09-28 06:15:00 PM jackiebl u r welcome. safety is the # 1 priority
2016-09-28 06:15:09 PM kimberly1 yed
2016-09-28 06:15:17 PM dbarry yes it is
2016-09-28 06:15:17 PM kimberly1 yes
2016-09-28 06:15:19 PM edithl i find that contradicting them makes it worst but we have a few nurses and CNAs that actually talk to them like if they(the residents ) could understand what was going on
2016-09-28 06:15:49 PM angelamscott Yes. go alone with their journey edithl
2016-09-28 06:15:50 PM auazuibke0114 Yes safety and careful watch
2016-09-28 06:15:52 PM cchase I do not recommend leavem alone - try to redirect - that said it is good to walk away and come back to try to redirect again
2016-09-28 06:15:57 PM saraheltman I find that some of our residents need to hear the reality to calm down, and others need you to come into their reality.
2016-09-28 06:16:12 PM teaves yes good point
2016-09-28 06:16:18 PM kimberly1 Keep volume down in room
2016-09-28 06:16:27 PM cchase hear the reality??
2016-09-28 06:16:32 PM angelamscott having a different come back helps on redirecting also
2016-09-28 06:16:44 PM cchase they do not know what is reality
2016-09-28 06:16:47 PM auazuibke0114 ok good
2016-09-28 06:16:56 PM auazuibke0114 nice idea
2016-09-28 06:17:07 PM cchase you have to step into their world to get them to respond
2016-09-28 06:17:12 PM angelamscott I like that.
2016-09-28 06:17:17 PM cchase you have to be where that are
2016-09-28 06:17:19 PM saraheltman As in you are at such and such nursing home and your son will be in soon, and they come back and needed to hear that, where as others would need you to stay in their world
2016-09-28 06:17:23 PM cchase you have to be the daughter
2016-09-28 06:17:28 PM cchase the husband whatever
2016-09-28 06:17:43 PM robina1 what do you do when they start have a conversation with a person in the past, like they are in the moment,
2016-09-28 06:17:49 PM dbarry how can you redirect someone that dont understand what yiu are talking about to begin with
2016-09-28 06:18:09 PM kimberly1 just go to their level.
2016-09-28 06:18:13 PM angelamscott celeste that is so true. Great reminder
2016-09-28 06:18:19 PM cchase I would say sarah that the reality orientation works only on specific stages of alz like beginning
2016-09-28 06:18:32 PM cchase yes kimberly go to their level
2016-09-28 06:18:49 PM cchase go with the conversation robina
2016-09-28 06:19:01 PM cchase they will be sooo relived that you get them
2016-09-28 06:19:27 PM dbarry left the chat room
2016-09-28 06:19:32 PM auazuibke0114 Yes cchase, At late stage redirecting don't work
2016-09-28 06:19:40 PM kimberly1 That's why it is so important for respite care.
2016-09-28 06:19:47 PM saraheltman Right, I have residents of ALL different stages.
2016-09-28 06:20:11 PM robina1 i have seen words confusion happen. such as, are you ready to change your pull up? and the residents says no, i dont want to change my airplane
2016-09-28 06:20:23 PM kimberly1 hahaha
2016-09-28 06:20:31 PM edithl i find that going along with their reality it might be very tiring at times , but it seems to work well with my residents , it is when people start trying to make them see that what they are doing is wrong that things escalate quickly
2016-09-28 06:20:32 PM auazuibke0114 lol
2016-09-28 06:20:57 PM robina1 left the chat room
2016-09-28 06:21:06 PM cchase their receptive abilities decline
2016-09-28 06:21:14 PM robina1 enter the chat room
2016-09-28 06:21:21 PM cchase and their expressive abilities as well
2016-09-28 06:21:28 PM cchase welcome back robina
2016-09-28 06:21:39 PM auazuibke0114 Edithl you have to calm them down while doing that
2016-09-28 06:21:42 PM robina1 ty
2016-09-28 06:21:52 PM angelamscott dealing with the family member who is in denial is more tiring to me.
2016-09-28 06:22:01 PM teaves yesssssss
2016-09-28 06:22:05 PM teaves so true
2016-09-28 06:22:09 PM kimberly1 That is why it is so important for activities to be happening!
2016-09-28 06:22:12 PM robina1 oh yes, that is so hard
2016-09-28 06:22:21 PM cchase golden rule - never I mean never argue
2016-09-28 06:22:23 PM aturner1026 yes, very true. that part is very hard!
2016-09-28 06:22:27 PM auazuibke0114 yes you're right
2016-09-28 06:22:31 PM cchase or tell them that they are wrong
2016-09-28 06:22:37 PM robina1 right, never
2016-09-28 06:22:37 PM cchase you will lose
2016-09-28 06:22:43 PM teaves because it will get you no where
2016-09-28 06:23:11 PM angelamscott when you have a department of incontinent residents it is hard for activities sometime. following a schedule can be challenging
2016-09-28 06:23:15 PM cchase right absolutely no where
2016-09-28 06:23:20 PM tammymb my mother had Alzheimers for 10 years and learned very quick to never argue
2016-09-28 06:23:27 PM edithl i have a resident that just turned 105 yrs young , she is in the last stage,the only thing that she seems to respond is eye contact while speaking softly and touching her shoulder or arm
2016-09-28 06:23:32 PM saraheltman Agreed, there are some familiy members that treat their loved ones terribly, one son would call his mom a dum dum and make fun of her while she was right there. She is such a sweet lady, she knew what he was saying. I reassured her that she was very smart and kind and a beautiful person afterwards, even though she did not respond.
2016-09-28 06:23:58 PM cchase yes edith gentle 1-1
2016-09-28 06:24:03 PM tvs320 thats awful. Families hae a hard time understanding.
2016-09-28 06:24:20 PM teaves i do that a lot when i'm speaking to my residents, i approach them from the front and touch their hands or shoulders
2016-09-28 06:24:29 PM cchase families need to learn how to grieve for their loss
2016-09-28 06:24:32 PM edithl yes me too
2016-09-28 06:24:42 PM cchase they lash out
2016-09-28 06:24:51 PM saraheltman to grieve in private instead of in front of their loved ones
2016-09-28 06:24:54 PM kimberly1 That is why it is important for us directors to be informed of Alzhemiers.
2016-09-28 06:24:55 PM teaves they did, i feel so bad
2016-09-28 06:25:02 PM cchase angry they have this loss yet the person still lives

2016-09-28 06:25:11 PM angelamscott celeste they stay on the guilt and denial phase for so long sometimes, but we have to be understanding
2016-09-28 06:25:21 PM tvs320 I am dealing with family members that just don't get it rt now. Frustrating
2016-09-28 06:25:29 PM cchase likely they have greived in private for some time

2016-09-28 06:26:52 PM angelamscott i had a man who took his wife out for the first time in a long time. I have encouraged it and today he had the biggest smile. Priceless
2016-09-28 06:27:03 PM saraheltman It's so hard for families to come and see their parents and see a completely different person.
2016-09-28 06:27:04 PM auazuibke0114 Okay thanks cchase
2016-09-28 06:27:09 PM tammymb my brother hardley ever came to see my Mom in the nursing home, he couldn't get past the disease. I encouraged him alot! I was there every day

2016-09-28 06:27:19 PM edithl i know when we were going thru it with my mother in law, i had not much knwledge at all of the disease , but i saw very quickly that every time my husband would say " mom , that is not so" or something to ncontradict her , she would become extremely upset and would even cry , so i told him you need to stop doing that , but it was very hard especially for him to let go, because he kept saying this is not how she is
2016-09-28 06:27:50 PM teaves awwww
2016-09-28 06:27:58 PM auazuibke0114 The ones in my fac love music, they can sing and dance well
2016-09-28 06:28:01 PM cchase yes - we have to remember that they are adults not children
2016-09-28 06:28:13 PM tvs320 Music is huge for us too.
2016-09-28 06:28:18 PM cchase they do not appreciate being treated like children
2016-09-28 06:28:26 PM kimberly1 Treat them w/dignity & respect.

2016-09-28 06:29:27 PM tvs320 I had someone with end stage alzheimers talk to me the other day. Somehow she just woke up for a minute. The family could not believe it.
2016-09-28 06:29:36 PM cchase it's hard to treat them like adult when they do seem childlike
2016-09-28 06:29:39 PM teaves and i think, if the energy in their area in negative it also affects them, like if the staff isn't getting along or doesn't want to be there they pick up on it and it affects them
2016-09-28 06:29:41 PM cchase I know
2016-09-28 06:29:53 PM cchase but you owe them that much

2016-09-28 06:30:44 PM saraheltman I am always told not to become attatched, but when you see them everyday and more than your family, it's so hard not too.
2016-09-28 06:30:45 PM angelamscott they are like children when it comes to emotions
2016-09-28 06:30:49 PM cchase they will not see the smile
2016-09-28 06:30:50 PM aturner1026 we have a resident that's in mid/moderate stage of Alz... but when we do music listening and the Beatles are on, he dances and sings the songs word for word. it definitely makes him happy

2016-09-28 06:31:17 PM cchase not so... the emotions are all they have to work with

2016-09-28 06:34:53 PM auazuibke0114 One usually complains that people aren't been nice to her. She said that i'm the only one that is nice to her
2016-09-28 06:35:01 PM edithl we have this one resident she does not speak any more and most of the time she is upset but when i am working i bring her close to me and either hold her hand , if i can or let her touch my leg, she gets comfortable and has this beautiful smile , she has the prettiest blue eyes ever!

2016-09-28 06:36:42 PM edithl my dream is to be able to train volunteers to be able to have more 1-1 , but that is only when i become the AD because right now my AD does not allow any volunteers
2016-09-28 06:36:50 PM saraheltman They can tell when people are being fake.
2016-09-28 06:36:53 PM tvs320 One thing is for sure. You have to be caring and loving to them. They can sense you and they know if you care for them even if they cant speak anymore
2016-09-28 06:36:58 PM teaves what no volunteers
2016-09-28 06:37:03 PM teaves thats crazy
