2018-09-05 06:13:12 PM sburgess yes they do!
2018-09-05 06:13:17 PM donnalova2 I have read that the part of the brain that holds our music memory is the last to deterate. Plus I agree with cathy that memorization was a huge thing years ago. We always make new memories in our brain when we hear a song.
2018-09-05 06:13:17 PM heatherr yes
2018-09-05 06:13:19 PM parult Yes, absolutely
2018-09-05 06:13:21 PM kirstensch7 yes true even for residents that no longer can speak because they cant form the words - they still sing hymns
2018-09-05 06:13:21 PM cchase ok...so now let's talk about how memory is stored... ready?
2018-09-05 06:13:25 PM marylogan Yes, they smile, tap their foot etc
2018-09-05 06:13:28 PM martyr58 they love hymns, sinatra, the old tunes-- we walk around campus singing songs like "someone is in the kitchen with Dinal"
2018-09-05 06:13:29 PM paulathessen yes
2018-09-05 06:13:35 PM cristinahancock yes

2018-09-05 06:14:30 PM kirstensch7 long term memory
2018-09-05 06:14:30 PM paulathessen long term memory
2018-09-05 06:14:34 PM donnalova2 Since most people hear some songs hundreds of times we are constantly making new memories of the same song. I love hearing them sing when most of them can't even talk
2018-09-05 06:14:38 PM martyr58 long term memory
2018-09-05 06:14:43 PM laurajackson Long term memory
2018-09-05 06:14:51 PM cchase ok...so now we know these two let's discuss why they exist with Alzheimer's
2018-09-05 06:15:03 PM sarahaltavilla ready
2018-09-05 06:15:07 PM cristinahancock I experienced that lately, I had a brain tumor and it effected my memory but Icould remember song lyrics and then I had a crainiotomy and now all memories are back.
2018-09-05 06:15:12 PM cchase what are the memories we call long term memories?
2018-09-05 06:15:18 PM donnalova2 Short Term Memory - Long Term Memory
2018-09-05 06:15:25 PM sarahaltavilla deep down...
2018-09-05 06:15:27 PM marylogan childhood?
2018-09-05 06:15:34 PM cristinahancock our ABCs
2018-09-05 06:15:35 PM heatherr childhood memmories
2018-09-05 06:15:36 PM sburgess from long ago, early memories
2018-09-05 06:15:44 PM cchase oh dear christina... you ok?

2018-09-05 06:15:51 PM cristinahancock yes doing great
2018-09-05 06:15:53 PM paulathessen deep down childhood memories
2018-09-05 06:16:03 PM cchase yup
2018-09-05 06:16:12 PM cristinahancock Full recovery it helped me relate to my residents better
2018-09-05 06:16:14 PM martyr58 because the older information seems to be locked into the brain tighter and the more recent doesn't stick. It is from the dendrites being shorter in older people
2018-09-05 06:16:29 PM cchase let's discuss what happens in the brain as the Alz. disease progresses
2018-09-05 06:16:34 PM donnalova2 childhood memories, things we learned years ago in school, activities we have done
2018-09-05 06:16:40 PM kcarroll Yes memories from many years ago
2018-09-05 06:16:41 PM cchase anyone hear of plaques & tangles
2018-09-05 06:16:45 PM cristinahancock yes
2018-09-05 06:16:45 PM sburgess yes
2018-09-05 06:16:46 PM sarahaltavilla I have!
2018-09-05 06:16:47 PM laurajackson Yes
2018-09-05 06:16:48 PM marylogan yep
2018-09-05 06:16:51 PM heatherr we digress back to childhood
2018-09-05 06:16:51 PM martyr58 yes
2018-09-05 06:16:51 PM paulathessen christina glad you are better had a similar problem last july head injury with brain bleed
2018-09-05 06:16:52 PM donnalova2 Yes
2018-09-05 06:16:53 PM parult storage in mind effected badly
2018-09-05 06:16:57 PM kirstensch7 yeah one of my residents knows she grew up with Elvis a street down - but can't remember that she had breakfast already
2018-09-05 06:17:03 PM kcarroll No
2018-09-05 06:17:30 PM cchase this is growing in the brain of an Alz. pt.
2018-09-05 06:17:50 PM cristinahancock yes and as it grows the more memories are lost
2018-09-05 06:17:52 PM cchase it gets to a point that is blocks the ability to retrieve LTM
2018-09-05 06:17:52 PM martyr58 plaques build up in the brain and the info doesn't get in or not able to manulipulate it as well
2018-09-05 06:17:56 PM donnalova2 Yes and it destroys the brain in the process
2018-09-05 06:18:07 PM paulathessen doesn't it interfear with brain signals
2018-09-05 06:18:21 PM sarahaltavilla left the chat room
2018-09-05 06:18:29 PM parult so, it is get stored, but could not retrive, correct?
2018-09-05 06:18:29 PM cchase so much so that as it grows it also keep any memory from getting stored ..this is what we call STM
2018-09-05 06:18:35 PM sarahaltavilla enter the chat room
2018-09-05 06:18:36 PM kirstensch7 and it makes residents sleepy because that's when the brain tries to clean itself from the plagues and tangles
2018-09-05 06:18:36 PM donnalova2 and your memory
2018-09-05 06:19:10 PM cristinahancock yes sTM is effected later as the disease progresses
2018-09-05 06:19:10 PM cchase well - truth be told the brain cannot clean itself of these plaques & tangles
2018-09-05 06:19:17 PM cchase it is permanent
2018-09-05 06:19:27 PM donnalova2 doesn"t your brain make a new memory every time it remembers something?
2018-09-05 06:19:31 PM cchase think of a computer
2018-09-05 06:19:32 PM paulathessen so sad to watch
2018-09-05 06:19:35 PM sarahaltavilla is this the pics shown as an absent on brain tissue?
2018-09-05 06:19:38 PM donnalova2 Yes
2018-09-05 06:19:43 PM kcarroll :'(
2018-09-05 06:19:53 PM laurajackson yep
2018-09-05 06:19:54 PM cristinahancock I think of it as a curtain and every day the curtain closes more and more until it is closed completely
2018-09-05 06:19:59 PM cchase you create a word file and give it a name then you store it so you can call it back..right?
2018-09-05 06:20:05 PM sburgess right
2018-09-05 06:20:11 PM paulathessen yes
2018-09-05 06:20:12 PM sarahaltavilla yes
2018-09-05 06:20:12 PM laurajackson right
2018-09-05 06:20:13 PM heatherr right
2018-09-05 06:20:14 PM marylogan Clarify please, STM goes first and eventually LTM?
2018-09-05 06:20:30 PM cristinahancock no LTM first
2018-09-05 06:20:32 PM kirstensch7 yes STM first
2018-09-05 06:20:35 PM donnalova2 Yes exactly- it's like saving a file over and over again
2018-09-05 06:20:41 PM lisabean yes
2018-09-05 06:20:42 PM cchase if you remember and cann access where you stored it.. you can call it back when you want anytime
2018-09-05 06:21:02 PM cristinahancock so is long term or short term lost first
2018-09-05 06:21:04 PM laurajackson ok
2018-09-05 06:21:07 PM paulathessen i have met s few where it is backwards, short term is great ltm is gone
2018-09-05 06:21:19 PM cchase but then there is Alz/ which now prevents you from retrieving that file (memory)
2018-09-05 06:21:21 PM laurajackson short term right
2018-09-05 06:21:35 PM martyr58 brain injuries can cause STM
2018-09-05 06:21:43 PM parult so, memory loss means it is get stored, but could not retrive, correct?
2018-09-05 06:21:49 PM cchase the plaques & tangles do not allow you to call the file back and you no longer remember how to find it
2018-09-05 06:21:54 PM donnalova2 Yes but with Alz- you can't remember where to find it
2018-09-05 06:22:12 PM sburgess exactly
2018-09-05 06:22:24 PM martyr58 you explain this well cchase!
2018-09-05 06:22:25 PM cchase memory gets stored BEFORE the disease progresses.
2018-09-05 06:22:42 PM paulathessen didn't know that
2018-09-05 06:22:53 PM lisabean the sounds and smells bvring
2018-09-05 06:22:55 PM cchase till it's so bad - your brain cannot send a message to get that memory
2018-09-05 06:22:56 PM heatherr it's like a broken navagation system..right??
2018-09-05 06:22:56 PM donnalova2 Yes it's stored but they can't find it because of the disease
2018-09-05 06:23:08 PM lisabean bring those memories back
2018-09-05 06:23:09 PM cchase yup - good one heather
2018-09-05 06:23:15 PM parult Whether this disease affect memory storage or retrieving only?
2018-09-05 06:23:17 PM cchase now STM
2018-09-05 06:23:23 PM cristinahancock women get it more than men also
2018-09-05 06:23:27 PM heatherr thanks!
2018-09-05 06:23:46 PM cchase happens because the disease is in full swing and you no longer have the pathway to store the memory
2018-09-05 06:24:03 PM parult ok, thanks.
2018-09-05 06:24:08 PM donnalova2 Do you think that's true about more women than men or is it that there are just more women in general
2018-09-05 06:24:17 PM martyr58 one of our guys can't remember to walk now
2018-09-05 06:24:22 PM sarahaltavilla it is blocked from creating a memory?
2018-09-05 06:24:23 PM cchase so when you ask a question they cannot remember cause they cannot store your question to begin with
2018-09-05 06:24:38 PM cchase it is blocked from getting stored
2018-09-05 06:24:40 PM paulathessen makes sense
2018-09-05 06:24:44 PM cristinahancock Yes it is proven to affect women more than men.
2018-09-05 06:24:46 PM donnalova2 So if you do something today it doesn't have a path to a memory
2018-09-05 06:24:48 PM heatherr So is this what triggers behavors? PT. become frustrated when they can't navagate
2018-09-05 06:24:50 PM sarahaltavilla thank you
2018-09-05 06:24:52 PM martyr58 that's why they ask so many questions?
2018-09-05 06:25:09 PM lisabean and often
2018-09-05 06:25:12 PM cchase nursing home typically have a population higher of women than men
2018-09-05 06:25:26 PM martyr58 men die sooner
2018-09-05 06:25:30 PM laurajackson I guess so, I have one lady ask questions every 2 mins.
2018-09-05 06:25:32 PM heatherr yes, atleast we do
2018-09-05 06:25:33 PM cchase that era of folks went through the war
2018-09-05 06:25:33 PM lisabean women live longer
2018-09-05 06:25:33 PM donnalova2 Because women live longer than men
2018-09-05 06:25:34 PM paulathessen do women live longer?
2018-09-05 06:25:46 PM cchase men were called to duty women not so much
2018-09-05 06:26:04 PM cchase also it is believed that women do live longer
2018-09-05 06:26:21 PM parult yes, that's true.
2018-09-05 06:26:25 PM cchase men also had many industrial accidents
2018-09-05 06:26:28 PM cristinahancock So why does this disease seem to affect more women than men? At first glance, the answer may be that women generally live longer than men, making them more likely to reach the ages of greater risk. However, there is emerging evidence that suggests there may be unique biological reasons for these differences beyond longevity alone. These biological underpinnings may contribute to the underlying brain changes, progression and symptom manifestation in Alzheimer’s disease.
2018-09-05 06:26:29 PM cchase work related
2018-09-05 06:26:37 PM sarahaltavilla the plaques and tangles BLOCK/erode the path?
2018-09-05 06:26:39 PM parult that is also correct
2018-09-05 06:26:52 PM paulathessen so that could all change over time amount of women to men in LTC
2018-09-05 06:27:03 PM kcarroll I had no idea
2018-09-05 06:27:15 PM cchase the question of gender longevity has many theories
2018-09-05 06:27:41 PM parult metabolism too.
2018-09-05 06:27:51 PM paulathessen genetics
2018-09-05 06:27:51 PM laurajackson I think men dont take care of their selfs as much.
2018-09-05 06:27:56 PM cchase for sure - but we do know that the population in NF shifted due to the work and duties that men endured from that era
2018-09-05 06:27:56 PM martyr58 yes, but as people get older, don't the % with alz increase?
2018-09-05 06:27:59 PM cristinahancock They also have studied hormones and found that plays a role in how it progresses
2018-09-05 06:28:01 PM kirstensch7 maybe women were able to cope with stress better - or had less stress back then, at least when it came to jobs
2018-09-05 06:28:13 PM donnalova2 My husband is standing next to me and thinks it's because women work men into the ground!!!!! Ha! Ha!!!!
2018-09-05 06:28:16 PM parult left the chat room
2018-09-05 06:28:27 PM cchase ok... so how long do you think a person has Alzheimer's before it is noticed or diagnosed
2018-09-05 06:28:29 PM laurajackson So, true!
2018-09-05 06:28:36 PM cristinahancock years
2018-09-05 06:28:36 PM sarahaltavilla alzheimers vs dementia?
2018-09-05 06:28:40 PM sburgess 3-5 years?
2018-09-05 06:28:43 PM martyr58 6-8 years
2018-09-05 06:28:43 PM marylogan Couple of years.
2018-09-05 06:28:48 PM laurajackson 5 to 7 years
2018-09-05 06:28:51 PM sarahaltavilla 10
2018-09-05 06:28:52 PM cchase funny donna (lol)
2018-09-05 06:28:59 PM paulathessen can be years or move quickly
2018-09-05 06:29:04 PM kirstensch7 there is also a new study that suggest that sleep deprivation causes more brain plaques
2018-09-05 06:29:16 PM cchase sarah gets the price...some 10 years is the answer
2018-09-05 06:29:29 PM martyr58 Wow
2018-09-05 06:29:30 PM heatherr do you think it might have something to do with it being a generational thing?? In the population we typically serve men tend to have been the hard laboror and women more the home makers. Less stress on body and mind.
2018-09-05 06:29:31 PM paulathessen wow
2018-09-05 06:29:33 PM donnalova2 Maybe 3-5 years- most people can get away with it if they live alone and family does not visiit often
2018-09-05 06:29:40 PM cchase sleep deprivaton has been linked to dementia indeed
2018-09-05 06:29:41 PM sarahaltavilla ill showmy boss that line tomorrow

2018-09-05 06:38:30 PM kirstensch7 a lot of my residents are just very sleepy - especially if they have Alzheimer's and Parkinson
2018-09-05 06:38:32 PM cchase you want to ellicit a response from them (want them to show a response like being amused)
2018-09-05 06:38:34 PM marylogan in what order are they normally lost or is there no normal?
2018-09-05 06:38:42 PM cristinahancock touch, taste, hearing, smell, visual
2018-09-05 06:38:46 PM donnalova2 That's why cooking is so great for them- it hits a lot of senses
2018-09-05 06:38:49 PM martyr58 families can also let you know what the person loved to do so you and entertain them with what they loved in the past
2018-09-05 06:38:58 PM laurajackson I have alot like that to.
2018-09-05 06:39:17 PM martyr58 we are mixing essential oils into the paint
2018-09-05 06:39:19 PM cchase there is no order to this disease overall it takes it's path differently with each person
2018-09-05 06:39:22 PM donnalova2 It's so sad when you see they don't remember doing things they used to love.
2018-09-05 06:39:32 PM laurajackson Cooking is great for them.
2018-09-05 06:39:51 PM donnalova2 That's probably why it's so had to finda cure?
2018-09-05 06:39:56 PM laurajackson Yes, it is Donna
2018-09-05 06:39:57 PM cchase but there are known stages and times when the disease platues.. does stay the same for a period of time
2018-09-05 06:40:00 PM paulathessen baking bread in bread machines for 3 hours brings back so many memories for them
2018-09-05 06:40:02 PM kirstensch7 my families tell me what mom or dad used to love - only to be told by residents that they are no longer intrested in gardening or crafts - especially crafts.
2018-09-05 06:40:02 PM sarahaltavilla it is not sad anymore...they dont remember...just make this hour graet for them...make them smile.
2018-09-05 06:40:03 PM lisabean esse tial oils in paints.. thats a great idea!
2018-09-05 06:40:10 PM cristinahancock We ask our residents family to bring alot of pictures of them doing what they love and let them look at them then we discuss it.
2018-09-05 06:40:28 PM sburgess Yes, Sarah, make them smile!
2018-09-05 06:40:32 PM cchase yes.. sensory through smells will elicit a respone
2018-09-05 06:40:35 PM cchase response
2018-09-05 06:40:39 PM heatherr I find theraputic painting to music extremely helpful with these particular PT
2018-09-05 06:41:04 PM donnalova2 Music also gets a great response
2018-09-05 06:41:09 PM parult scented pouches or packets can be used
2018-09-05 06:41:10 PM paulathessen me too
2018-09-05 06:41:19 PM laurajackson We do alot of sensory and smells. cooking, oils ex..
2018-09-05 06:41:20 PM kirstensch7 music is still the bast - and old shows like I love Lucy
2018-09-05 06:41:21 PM martyr58 I have to watch the music so I don't overstimulate
2018-09-05 06:41:24 PM cchase sensory stimpulation can be emotional, social, cognitive or sensory
2018-09-05 06:41:28 PM marylogan I have people no longer capable of holdin a brush. Music & smells & touch.
2018-09-05 06:41:42 PM kirstensch7 they do love my cooking show especially the samples
2018-09-05 06:41:43 PM sarahaltavilla touch is KEY!
2018-09-05 06:41:46 PM martyr58 hand massages, aroma therapy
2018-09-05 06:41:50 PM kirstensch7 but they dont want to cook anymore
2018-09-05 06:41:51 PM donnalova2 Yes the old shows like Lucy are great because they make them laugh
2018-09-05 06:41:52 PM sburgess The best thing to do to make a resident smilie or give ou a response, is to KNOW your residents I feel.
2018-09-05 06:41:53 PM cristinahancock I think that emotional is overlooked to many times
2018-09-05 06:41:53 PM cchase overstiulating can lead to behavior problems so do watch for that
2018-09-05 06:42:09 PM cchase ok so one last this about that smiling comment
2018-09-05 06:42:10 PM parult Touching is the best. Shaking hands, massage, etc.
2018-09-05 06:42:14 PM laurajackson good to know
