2019-02-06 07:28:18 PM cchase that is absolutely true
2019-02-06 07:28:24 PM cchase early onset
2019-02-06 07:28:24 PM richelle70 left the chat room
2019-02-06 07:28:24 PM richelle70 enter the chat room
2019-02-06 07:28:24 PM rmcrow why is that
2019-02-06 07:28:30 PM acorman they are getting holes in their brain
2019-02-06 07:28:50 PM salinass its the plaque that is on brain.
2019-02-06 07:28:57 PM cchase makes for a faster moving disease and thus, we are talking more in the range of two years for each stage
2019-02-06 07:29:09 PM salinass that is true.
2019-02-06 07:29:32 PM richelle70 left the chat room
2019-02-06 07:29:32 PM richelle70 enter the chat room
2019-02-06 07:29:35 PM nlfrazier that is quick
2019-02-06 07:29:58 PM cchase there are lots of theories on that - some think that late onset is slower because the individual is more cemented in the memories over the years
2019-02-06 07:30:31 PM cchase some beleive that early onset has to do with the family tree and the number of family members who also had Alz
2019-02-06 07:30:33 PM salinass i feel that the reason the younger you are and you are diagnosed with early onset alzhemiers is becasue you have not used your brain as much as those that are diagnosed at older ages
2019-02-06 07:30:58 PM salinass that is just a thought
2019-02-06 07:31:09 PM cchase possible.... we are all talking theories as we cannot ask them
2019-02-06 07:31:20 PM rmcrow what is the youngest age you have heard of someone with alz
2019-02-06 07:31:25 PM salinass 32
2019-02-06 07:31:39 PM cchase I have heard of someone who is 33
2019-02-06 07:31:54 PM salinass and they were gone 5 years later
2019-02-06 07:31:55 PM cchase sadly - she had three tiny tots
2019-02-06 07:32:04 PM rmcrow so sad!!!!
2019-02-06 07:32:09 PM acorman wow
2019-02-06 07:32:10 PM salinass very sad
2019-02-06 07:32:13 PM nlfrazier I would think younger people would be hard to diagnose
2019-02-06 07:32:37 PM cchase yes - very sad
2019-02-06 07:32:45 PM nlfrazier wow thats super young
2019-02-06 07:33:10 PM salinass there was an article on facebook about an australian woman who got diagnoesd with alzhemiers, i believe she was in her 30's.
2019-02-06 07:33:31 PM salinass there is also childhood alzhemiers
2019-02-06 07:33:39 PM salinass or demenita
2019-02-06 07:33:50 PM melodywhipple how can such young brains be diseased so soon?
2019-02-06 07:33:52 PM acorman oh wow... never heard of that
2019-02-06 07:33:55 PM rmcrow whaaaaaat???
2019-02-06 07:34:02 PM nlfrazier makes you worry, i forget stuff all the time
2019-02-06 07:34:05 PM cchase my understanding is that the childhood illness is not really Alz.. but has the similar symptoms
2019-02-06 07:34:14 PM melodywhipple o wow
2019-02-06 07:34:21 PM acorman how old?
2019-02-06 07:34:55 PM salinass that is what i heard too, but they treat it like alzhemiers
2019-02-06 07:34:58 PM cchase It is also known as "childhood Alzheimer's" because of its degenerative effects on the brain. "I think the disease is even more shocking," McGlocklin said. "It's a loss of every single skill you have." Many children diagnosed with the condition at a young age do not survive to adulthood, according to the NLM.
2019-02-06 07:35:01 PM melodywhipple it is scary how it runs in families
2019-02-06 07:35:15 PM salinass it is very sad
2019-02-06 07:35:21 PM cchase https://abcnews.go.com/Health/toddler-childhood-alzheimers-symptoms-experimental-treatment/story?id=46726381
2019-02-06 07:35:24 PM nlfrazier so sad.
2019-02-06 07:35:34 PM salinass yes thank you celeste for clearing that up
2019-02-06 07:35:35 PM acorman thanks. I'll have to read
2019-02-06 07:35:54 PM cchase so the brain has plaques & tangles
2019-02-06 07:35:58 PM rmcrow absolutely! Thank you
2019-02-06 07:36:07 PM salinass yes tangles
2019-02-06 07:36:12 PM cchase you are most welcome
2019-02-06 07:36:14 PM nlfrazier thank you for the inform
2019-02-06 07:36:27 PM melodywhipple do you think our environment contributes?
2019-02-06 07:36:36 PM cchase they keep forming - over time they prevent the neurons from communicating with each other
2019-02-06 07:36:56 PM cchase thus, one area of the brain cannot tell another area of the brain what to do
2019-02-06 07:37:25 PM cchase in late stages - the brain cannot communicate with internal organs
2019-02-06 07:37:41 PM cchase cannot provide instructions on how to sunction
2019-02-06 07:37:48 PM salinass and that is why it also takes them a while to process,
2019-02-06 07:38:14 PM cchase the environment has earned some credit as well as some particular products like ariesals
2019-02-06 07:38:22 PM cchase aluminum and such
2019-02-06 07:38:46 PM cchase but the most prevaling contributor is family history
2019-02-06 07:38:57 PM salinass yes, p
2019-02-06 07:39:02 PM cchase yes... let's talk memories
2019-02-06 07:39:05 PM salinass sorry
2019-02-06 07:39:11 PM melodywhipple in the old days, what was it called? just old age?
2019-02-06 07:39:16 PM salinass i pushed enter too soon lol
2019-02-06 07:39:26 PM salinass they would call old timers
2019-02-06 07:39:40 PM cchase in the old days it was called senility
2019-02-06 07:39:48 PM salinass that too
2019-02-06 07:39:54 PM cchase he --- he that finger
2019-02-06 07:40:08 PM rmcrow oh yes! I have heard that
2019-02-06 07:40:22 PM cchase you have seen elders talk about childhood like it was just yesterday
2019-02-06 07:40:27 PM salinass they would think they were just crazy
2019-02-06 07:40:38 PM salinass yes i have
2019-02-06 07:40:40 PM cchase they can recite old memories so clearly - so vividly
2019-02-06 07:40:55 PM melodywhipple and yet not know their kids, so sad
2019-02-06 07:40:56 PM richelle70 You have to live in their moment.
2019-02-06 07:41:03 PM nlfrazier Yes i have or looking for their parents in our facility
2019-02-06 07:41:04 PM rmcrow unbelievable every single detail
2019-02-06 07:41:14 PM cchase the plaques and tangles eventually nip that in the bud over time and those memories are no longer retrievable
2019-02-06 07:41:30 PM cchase think of a word doc. on your computer
2019-02-06 07:41:32 PM acorman still talking about their parents like they are still alive
2019-02-06 07:41:41 PM cchase you create it - name it then file it for later
2019-02-06 07:41:58 PM nlfrazier acorman: we get that all the time
2019-02-06 07:41:59 PM salinass my grandfather had dementia and he would look at my grandmother and ask who is that woman and she would tell him i am you wife and he would say no, and point at her picture when she was young and say, thats my wife.
2019-02-06 07:42:06 PM cchase but then the path to that file becomes corrupt and you can no longer access that file
2019-02-06 07:42:36 PM cchase like a wire that gets a crink in it & electricity can no longer travel it
2019-02-06 07:42:38 PM salinass yes, we had a speaker who came last year and that is exactly what she said
2019-02-06 07:43:07 PM cchase eventually short term memory is what your left with
2019-02-06 07:43:21 PM cchase because memory cannot be filed any longer
2019-02-06 07:43:23 PM richelle70 We had a resident who didn't recognize her son but if he called should would know him by his voice. So sad he always asked her if she knew who he was.
2019-02-06 07:43:41 PM salinass you have early childhood file, then your highschool/college file, then marriage/family/work file and so one
2019-02-06 07:43:44 PM cchase I have seen that scenario as well
2019-02-06 07:43:54 PM acorman so sad
2019-02-06 07:44:21 PM nlfrazier My grandpa had dementia in the end of his life. He would wake up in a great mood and in about 30 minutes he would ask about his wife. we would have to tell him everyday that she passed away. He would be sad for the rest of the day. it was heartbreaking
2019-02-06 07:44:25 PM cchase the artist I spoke of - could not remember what his own face looked like
2019-02-06 07:44:33 PM melodywhipple so in the end, does the brain not tell the heart to beat, lungs to breathe....
2019-02-06 07:44:47 PM acorman why wouldn't you just tell him she was on vacation or something?
2019-02-06 07:44:58 PM salinass that does not work all the time
2019-02-06 07:45:08 PM rmcrow it is such a horrific disease
2019-02-06 07:45:12 PM cchase we do not encourage any truthful information like someone passing any longer when it comes to Alz
2019-02-06 07:45:17 PM salinass sometimes is makes them very agitated and then they will begin looking for them.
2019-02-06 07:45:25 PM nlfrazier they were never apart. He knew
2019-02-06 07:45:35 PM acorman that's too bad
2019-02-06 07:45:42 PM cchase because they relive the grief 100% like it just happened
2019-02-06 07:45:47 PM acorman broen heart everyday :(
2019-02-06 07:45:54 PM acorman broken
2019-02-06 07:45:55 PM melodywhipple o this is good to know
2019-02-06 07:45:59 PM salinass yes they do and we have had some that it does not bother them
2019-02-06 07:46:08 PM cchase never, never speak truths that evoke hurtful emotions
2019-02-06 07:46:11 PM rmcrow that can not be healthy either!!!!!
2019-02-06 07:46:17 PM nlfrazier he lives 3 months after she passed
2019-02-06 07:46:25 PM cchase so sorry for your loss
2019-02-06 07:46:39 PM salinass yes i am sorry for your loss
2019-02-06 07:46:43 PM rmcrow that is so sad - I am sorry!!
2019-02-06 07:46:48 PM cchase we use what we call therapeutic fiblets
2019-02-06 07:46:50 PM melodywhipple sorry too
2019-02-06 07:47:21 PM cchase not a lie necessarily but an omission of the truth to save from grief
2019-02-06 07:47:30 PM rmcrow My grandmother had alzheimers for 12 years - it is like living with death every single day
2019-02-06 07:47:59 PM salinass we do that a lot too and it works
2019-02-06 07:48:10 PM salinass yes it is rose
2019-02-06 07:48:11 PM melodywhipple how can I help a lady who does not like any sensory things but she swears all the time. I use music but would like some other activity for her
2019-02-06 07:48:26 PM cchase just today on Dr. Oz. there was a man married to a wife with Alz. and he is now in a relationship with someone else that helps him care for his wife
2019-02-06 07:48:46 PM cchase he said his life was so so lonely..that he was losing himself caring for his wife
2019-02-06 07:48:55 PM nlfrazier thank you all. I was younger and it was not my choice to tell him. As I work in this field i understand.
2019-02-06 07:48:57 PM acorman I've heard of that
2019-02-06 07:49:04 PM cchase use a timer
2019-02-06 07:49:10 PM richelle70 So sad. But greatful that we are educating ourselves on how to deal with those situations and passing it along to our staff.
2019-02-06 07:49:12 PM rmcrow i can not imagine that
2019-02-06 07:49:17 PM salinass a timer?
2019-02-06 07:49:29 PM salinass have her reset the timer?
2019-02-06 07:49:34 PM cchase set the timer and tell her that she cannot swear for a short few mins.
2019-02-06 07:49:47 PM salinass oh okay
2019-02-06 07:50:01 PM cchase when she does it correctly - reward her with something she wants
2019-02-06 07:50:03 PM salinass i thought it was a hands on activty
2019-02-06 07:50:08 PM rmcrow good idea!!!
2019-02-06 07:50:17 PM cchase increase the timer as she continues to improve
2019-02-06 07:50:35 PM cchase give her lots of praises for doing this... lots
2019-02-06 07:50:45 PM melodywhipple oh, I see good idea. I'm struggling with hands on too. didnt like the baby, busy blanket, beanie baby....
2019-02-06 07:51:03 PM cchase you will be surprised how she will do what she needs to get what she wants
2019-02-06 07:51:16 PM acorman Has anyone heard of or use the namaaste care for demintia?
2019-02-06 07:51:20 PM melodywhipple she loves to eat which is a problem too lol
2019-02-06 07:51:30 PM salinass have you tried folding clothes?
2019-02-06 07:51:43 PM nlfrazier the timer would be helpful for one of my residents to reset her. but she is very hard of hearing and her family will not let us looking to hearing aids. She has a terrible potty mouth
2019-02-06 07:51:44 PM salinass yes we have one that will eat and eat
2019-02-06 07:52:01 PM salinass use a template with her
2019-02-06 07:52:16 PM cchase uses person-centered approaches to improve quality of life through meaningful sensory activities that stimulate the senses, promote relaxation, and offer comfort and serenity
2019-02-06 07:52:23 PM cchase to those living with dementia
2019-02-06 07:52:51 PM cchase use a light if the timer is not working
2019-02-06 07:53:04 PM cchase just as you would with a deaf resident
2019-02-06 07:53:35 PM nlfrazier thats a great idea
2019-02-06 07:53:48 PM melodywhipple it is a puzzle to figure out how to help her
2019-02-06 07:54:04 PM cchase It was was designed by Joyce Simard, MSW,* an internationally recognized dementia expert.
2019-02-06 07:54:15 PM acorman Yes! I would like to learn more and implement it into my community. I just heard about it and am suprised that it is not more widely used.
2019-02-06 07:54:33 PM melodywhipple I will google Simard
2019-02-06 07:54:46 PM salinass that is interesting
2019-02-06 07:54:55 PM cchase hers a link http://www.todaysgeriatricmedicine.com/archive/MA16p5.shtml

2019-02-20 07:08:18 PM salinass i know, your area has been slammed with snow and ice
2019-02-20 07:09:06 PM ruthiesister tonight i thought we'd talk about that and the quarantine of wings or floor do to flu or bugs
2019-02-20 07:09:26 PM salinass oh wow, that is a good topic
2019-02-20 07:10:19 PM ruthiesister so how do you handle it ,, what is facilty plan
2019-02-20 07:10:36 PM ruthiesister and how do we make it fun ,,
2019-02-20 07:10:53 PM ruthiesister for those stuck in there room and aren't sick
2019-02-20 07:11:51 PM salinass Well, we have not had that happen yet, but i know that if we do have to quaratine we each take a side. we can only go on that side, no going back and forth.
2019-02-20 07:12:41 PM salinass residents that are in their rooms ill, we have to glove up, gown up, mask up before going in and remove everything after we get out of the room
2019-02-20 07:12:44 PM ruthiesister how many room on say your side
2019-02-20 07:13:36 PM salinass for each floor, we have four floors, on the south side we have 20 (we have one double room on all south sides), and on the north side we have 19
2019-02-20 07:14:19 PM ruthiesister now does everyone have to be in their room ,
2019-02-20 07:15:51 PM salinass it depends, we did one year have some of the residents get the flu, but they were in their rooms and the other residents were able to be out of their rooms. We just would gown up, mask up and glove up when we would go into the rooms to attend the residents in their rooms
2019-02-20 07:16:14 PM cassandrac We they did in the buikding I work at. They stayed on their foor.
2019-02-20 07:16:18 PM salinass we had an isolation cart outside of their room with a sign that would say stop before entering and chech with the nurse.
2019-02-20 07:16:39 PM cassandrac we do that to
2019-02-20 07:17:27 PM salinass we all would clean and help out the housekeeping to sanitize.
2019-02-20 07:17:30 PM ruthiesister ok,, i know in many places they close the wing and floor down and encourage patients to stay in their rms ,to keep every safe
2019-02-20 07:18:02 PM ruthiesister everyone
2019-02-20 07:18:05 PM salinass with our residnets, it is very hard to keep them in without them getting agitated
2019-02-20 07:18:45 PM ruthiesister lol, yep .. i use to do a few things when we had to keep wings and floors close off ,
2019-02-20 07:18:56 PM salinass but we if we did see any systoms, we would get them into their rooms and they would check them to make sure they were okay or needed to be isolated
2019-02-20 07:19:41 PM ruthiesister for patients that weren't sick i would put them in there door way with a bell or flag , for some of the hallway games we would play
2019-02-20 07:19:42 PM salinass We did one time have to quaratine the whole building when the norovirus was really bad. it was crazy
2019-02-20 07:20:20 PM ruthiesister working in a hospital it happens alot for me soo i've had to be creative with things
2019-02-20 07:20:42 PM salinass the ones that were not ill, i would keep them busy in the living area away from the other rooms. we would stay busy and we would push a lot of fluids, vitamin C lol, they were sick or orange jucie after a while
2019-02-20 07:21:03 PM ruthiesister lol,, i bet
2019-02-20 07:21:29 PM ruthiesister those are great times for stories when you have small groups
2019-02-20 07:22:09 PM salinass When we quartined our building, we did not do activiites at all, we are assigned a side and we could only go to that side to deliver mail. we had to stay in our office and sanitize
2019-02-20 07:22:30 PM salinass it was like that for about a week in a half
2019-02-20 07:22:50 PM salinass but thank GO

2019-02-20 07:26:06 PM salinass we also got closer in our department

2019-02-20 07:27:53 PM ruthiesister i would get a nurse to help or a staff person ,, i would go door to door playing a tunes ,, if you knew the tune you would tune your light on ,and they would go to the door for thier answer ,,
