2018-12-05 07:45:07 PM cchase correct mallory
2018-12-05 07:45:19 PM cchase one liners only
2018-12-05 07:45:36 PM donnalova2 Yes one task at a time in simple sentences
2018-12-05 07:45:44 PM malloryjbean It's harder for us to break it down to one liners. we are in a hurry to get things done.
2018-12-05 07:45:53 PM cchase remember that they are adults not children
2018-12-05 07:46:08 PM arutgers78 true
2018-12-05 07:46:11 PM malloryjbean I once had a trainer tell me that if I wasnt waiting long enough for me to feel uncomfortable, then I needed to wait longer
2018-12-05 07:46:17 PM donnalova2 Yes but we need to have patience
2018-12-05 07:46:26 PM smccormick i will try that
2018-12-05 07:46:27 PM cchase ok... so do you know what is the last area of the brain to be damaged by Alz
2018-12-05 07:46:42 PM martyr58 Smell
2018-12-05 07:46:44 PM andrealonge The brain stem>
2018-12-05 07:46:45 PM smccormick i do not
2018-12-05 07:46:53 PM tinabaisley no
2018-12-05 07:47:09 PM karenfabian hyppocampus (spelling?)
2018-12-05 07:47:22 PM andrealonge isn't a person in late stage dementia only able to really taste sweet things?
2018-12-05 07:47:39 PM cchase the center of emotional processing is the amygdala and it is last on the plan of attack from Alz
2018-12-05 07:47:53 PM cchase that is information you should be using to your advantage
2018-12-05 07:48:01 PM cchase do you know how??
2018-12-05 07:48:05 PM martyr58 that's right! I didn't remember.
2018-12-05 07:48:13 PM donnalova2 I have to agree with Andrea about the sweet thing.
2018-12-05 07:48:25 PM andrealonge the fight or flight center right?!
2018-12-05 07:48:42 PM smccormick i do not
2018-12-05 07:49:11 PM donnalova2 Defuse between the fight
2018-12-05 07:49:16 PM noraim87 i do not
2018-12-05 07:49:17 PM malloryjbean I feel like i know this answer, i'm just having trouble finding the words!
2018-12-05 07:49:22 PM cchase knowing that they still can access emotions should be your target in all that you do
2018-12-05 07:49:22 PM arutgers78 I do not
2018-12-05 07:49:25 PM martyr58 It's why we need to be pleasant when they are around. The know the feeling of love and get anxious when others are upset
2018-12-05 07:49:43 PM andrealonge makes sense
2018-12-05 07:49:55 PM cchase but be aware that they feel emotions but do not understand why or what has caused them to feel those emotions
2018-12-05 07:50:05 PM donnalova2 Yes that's why I hate when they watch the news. They get all freaked out.
2018-12-05 07:50:09 PM cchase so you smile - so they smile
2018-12-05 07:50:11 PM tinabaisley paying attention
2018-12-05 07:50:24 PM donnalova2 Yes I smile all day
2018-12-05 07:50:29 PM cchase you create the emotion you want them to mirror
2018-12-05 07:50:37 PM noraim87 yes my residents respond to smile but we all do
2018-12-05 07:50:41 PM tinabaisley agree on smiling
2018-12-05 07:50:47 PM cchase that will make for happy campers for you to work with
2018-12-05 07:50:55 PM noraim87 its a nice feeling
2018-12-05 07:51:08 PM donnalova2 I definitely see that. When we're happy they're happy.
2018-12-05 07:51:10 PM andrealonge I almost feel that at certain point the disease process becomes easier for the resident. Harder for the family and loved ones to witness... but less upsetting to the resident experiencing it.
2018-12-05 07:51:15 PM cchase yes we all do but we all understand why we smile and they do not
2018-12-05 07:51:29 PM smccormick I love my residents and whether they can respond or not they make my day and i look forward to being there with them each day
2018-12-05 07:51:32 PM cchase the Alz brain cannot rationalize like we can anymore
2018-12-05 07:52:00 PM cchase your mission is to ellicit a response
2018-12-05 07:52:06 PM smccormick patience is virtue
2018-12-05 07:52:12 PM donnalova2 I feel the same way.
2018-12-05 07:52:25 PM andrealonge yes, I agree
2018-12-05 07:52:32 PM cchase so yes you are looking for some idicator that they are aware of you , aware of their environment
2018-12-05 07:52:51 PM cchase the response is so so important...
2018-12-05 07:53:05 PM cchase yes patience is very much needed
2018-12-05 07:53:12 PM andrealonge feels like a success when you know you've made a happy and relevant connection
2018-12-05 07:53:21 PM smccormick i agree! any and all response is huge
2018-12-05 07:53:27 PM cchase one more things
2018-12-05 07:53:33 PM martyr58 It is so hard when the residents count on activities to provide entertainment. Their lack of iniation is tough
2018-12-05 07:53:35 PM donnalova2 Patience is so so important.
2018-12-05 07:53:53 PM cchase never, never tell them the reality of a situation that may be painful like a passing of a relative
2018-12-05 07:54:08 PM smccormick agree!
2018-12-05 07:54:11 PM cchase they will relive those awful emotions of loss all over again
2018-12-05 07:54:13 PM noraim87 agree
2018-12-05 07:54:29 PM cchase we call this "therapeutic fiblets"
2018-12-05 07:54:41 PM arutgers78 interesting chat today
2018-12-05 07:54:42 PM malloryjbean I have a family right now who is constantly listing off all the dead relatives to their mother each time they visits
2018-12-05 07:54:49 PM donnalova2 Agree. The 70 year old women still thinks her dad is alive and he pass over a year ago. Her family hasn't told her.
2018-12-05 07:54:51 PM tinabaisley go along with what they are saying
2018-12-05 07:54:54 PM malloryjbean i cant seem to get her son to understand why its so traumatic
2018-12-05 07:54:56 PM cchase save them from pain if possible
2018-12-05 07:55:18 PM cchase yes go along and actually you step into their world
2018-12-05 07:55:36 PM donnalova2 All they should have is happiness
2018-12-05 07:55:43 PM smccormick at all times! they should never be subjected to any pain of any kind
2018-12-05 07:55:47 PM andrealonge right! I feel like i've mastered the art of "Fiblets" comes in handy with young children too
2018-12-05 07:55:49 PM cchase yes that is your gift to them
2018-12-05 07:55:56 PM cchase happiness, peace
2018-12-05 07:56:23 PM donnalova2 Yes I always go along with whatever they are saying.
2018-12-05 07:56:31 PM cchase true andrea but remembe they are adults more importantly they know they are adults
2018-12-05 07:56:31 PM smccormick peace on earth always!!!!
2018-12-05 07:56:35 PM martyr58 pretty big gift- gift for their families too
2018-12-05 07:57:01 PM malloryjbean I tip i just learned at a training is to answer a confused residents question with an additional question. it helps you orient to their reality when trying to answer. for example...when someone asks you where there husband in, your response should be "where do you think he is?"
2018-12-05 07:57:07 PM andrealonge yes I understand that fully. My approach most times is to change he subject and inquire about an area they know
2018-12-05 07:57:07 PM noraim87 (L)
2018-12-05 07:57:08 PM cchase any specific questions you are thinking about
