2019-05-01 06:37:08 PM cchase sometimes it's the noise that is scary
2019-05-01 06:37:38 PM johannamccargish She says she can worsh (as she says) in the sink just fine
2019-05-01 06:37:47 PM cchase tell her the doctor has ordered the shower
2019-05-01 06:37:57 PM cchase older folks tend to respect Drs.
2019-05-01 06:38:14 PM johannamccargish We did she said he can kiss her you know what lol
2019-05-01 06:38:22 PM cchase free shower pass was a good try
2019-05-01 06:38:36 PM cchase oh goodness...she is a freshy
2019-05-01 06:39:05 PM cchase do you have family to ask if she has always been this way o
2019-05-01 06:39:19 PM amyc84 its all about re-direction
2019-05-01 06:39:28 PM johannamccargish Yep she has a wander guard on because we caught her running moonshine and that is how we track her
2019-05-01 06:39:34 PM cchase yes it is about redirection
2019-05-01 06:40:03 PM johannamccargish Family won't help.
2019-05-01 06:40:19 PM cchase we had one that insisted that she already took a shower - she was very hard
2019-05-01 06:40:19 PM johannamccargish Thats her story any way
2019-05-01 06:40:29 PM cchase too bad family not helping
2019-05-01 06:40:47 PM cchase have the social worker reach out to family
2019-05-01 06:40:48 PM rmcrow WOW!!! She is quite the character!!
2019-05-01 06:40:48 PM johannamccargish yes it is
2019-05-01 06:40:55 PM cchase or the unit nurse
2019-05-01 06:41:14 PM johannamccargish They have.
2019-05-01 06:41:37 PM cchase they have - what is the response
2019-05-01 06:42:02 PM amyc84 in my facility i work closely with the social worker on dealing with resident issues
2019-05-01 06:42:10 PM cchase she is likely to be more shy than you give her credit for
2019-05-01 06:42:34 PM cchase developing a relationship might help to gain her trust
2019-05-01 06:42:36 PM johannamccargish Same, she says she has, does not want to pay for it. I think shyness is a big part of it, she is very private
2019-05-01 06:43:03 PM johannamccargish We have one nurse trying that, she is making strides
2019-05-01 06:43:21 PM cchase is the same aide helping her or different ones
2019-05-01 06:43:39 PM johannamccargish We have tried different ones
2019-05-01 06:44:03 PM cchase should be same aide for her to develop relationship
2019-05-01 06:45:05 PM johannamccargish Yeah thats why the one nurse is trying. She has dealt with this before. She seems to be bonding with her pretty well.
2019-05-01 06:45:08 PM cchase so the disease being fatal eventually leads to the brain not giving direction to internal organs on how to function
2019-05-01 06:45:53 PM cchase and so they cannot swallow.. kidneys fail... breathing is more taxing
2019-05-01 06:45:59 PM cchase you get the picture
2019-05-01 06:46:10 PM johannamccargish yeah and its sad
2019-05-01 06:46:20 PM cchase yes it is sad
2019-05-01 06:46:54 PM rmcrow is there and average time frame for this disease - or does it truly vary
2019-05-01 06:46:55 PM cchase I put an article on our classroom sight about visual colors and how they help Alz
2019-05-01 06:47:09 PM cchase look for that too - great information
2019-05-01 06:47:51 PM amyc84 we do a lot of tactile simulation and in the hall activity carts
2019-05-01 06:47:55 PM cchase depends on the disease onset
2019-05-01 06:48:11 PM cchase earlier it develops in life the faster it declines
2019-05-01 06:48:25 PM cchase it is called early onset
2019-05-01 06:48:38 PM cchase seems later onset progresses slower
2019-05-01 06:49:06 PM cchase https://mailchi.mp/activitydirector.org/visual-stimulation-for-alzherimersdementia?e=51befe87c1
2019-05-01 06:49:07 PM rmcrow do you think that is because the older they are the more memory they have - which means the tangles and plaque have more to reach
2019-05-01 06:49:22 PM cchase this link is the article I wrote on colors for Alz
2019-05-01 06:49:46 PM cchase brows or classroom sight - lots of great info.
2019-05-01 06:50:06 PM johannamccargish That sounds very interesting
2019-05-01 06:50:41 PM cchase the early childhood memories where saved before the disease began so they tend to be available until much later in the decline process
2019-05-01 06:51:11 PM cchase it's like this: you create a word on your laptop and save it with a name - right
2019-05-01 06:51:26 PM amyc84 they love armchair travel
2019-05-01 06:51:33 PM cchase later you call it up by name - bingo there it is
2019-05-01 06:51:48 PM rmcrow oh ok!!!
2019-05-01 06:51:58 PM cchase it was saved before the disease so it's there
2019-05-01 06:52:30 PM cchase after decline - plaques & tangles prevent that file from being found... it's gone
2019-05-01 06:53:06 PM cchase the message to find the file is like a cord when straight the message goes through it
2019-05-01 06:53:18 PM cchase but when all tangled... the message cannot get through
2019-05-01 06:53:38 PM johannamccargish I notice alot can talk about their childhood but cant remember what happened the day before or even that day
2019-05-01 06:54:01 PM cchase long term memory is those childhood stuff
2019-05-01 06:54:14 PM cchase short term memory is those of minutes ago
2019-05-01 06:54:30 PM amyc84 we make little books that have pictures and other mementos for each resident to have
