2017-05-03 06:18:39 PM courtneyr2009 yes.. it is important to have a routine ...because it keeps the residents feeling calm and in control and in a way knowing what to expect and that can be benefical .. however its always good to have a plan A,B,C,D,F

2017-05-03 06:19:22 PM dominiquesow there is a routine but it depends on their response and day - our activity programs are always flexible b ut try the one on the activities first then if doesnt work switch to another activity that is more engaging for them

2017-05-03 06:20:15 PM courtneyr2009 1:1's should happen daily in my opinion

2017-05-03 06:22:28 PM sophiat I have a alzheimers resident who sucks his thomb and spits all over his room or anywhere he sits. his room have to be cleaned and paint once or twic a week. he is in the memory care program. We have a poker chip set he would always stock and re stock, and i notice that whenever he is doing that he does not put his hand into his mouth or spits on the floor. So i provided a set in his room for him to use when he is not in the program and it has minimize the spiting greatly. we have 22 residents in the program

2017-05-03 06:23:24 PM courtneyr2009 for example at night some resident watch a movie or the news but then there are those residents who wander.. perfect time for a 1;1 with them .. walk with them so you can be there safety awareness since that is lacking in a resident with ALz

2017-05-03 06:24:51 PM patfuller The brain starts slow down
2017-05-03 06:24:56 PM 26rosemarie they dont give signals to the nerve that is responsible of memories

2017-05-03 06:26:19 PM kimberly1 there is preventative measures for dementia.
2017-05-03 06:26:22 PM courtneyr2009 and the more plaques and tangles they have the brain trys to search for other ways to get infomation to the brain.. example... say you knew one way to get somewhere but there was a road block .. you feel lost and confused so you serch for another route.. with nothing going to the blocked route that route soon dies and this keeps happening until sadly the whole brain dies
2017-05-03 06:26:26 PM 26rosemarie hard for them to communicate
