2019-12-04 07:05:25 PM crdsteele Assisted Living/Memory Care
2019-12-04 07:05:51 PM desjardins I work in a small hospital with a swing bed LTC unit atached.
2019-12-04 07:05:57 PM alexiew It was the 33rd annual wisconsin state conference. The head speaker was amazing. Mondy Carter i and she talked about how health workers should work and improve peoples likes by living in the moment. If a resdient says they are going to work live in the moment with them and ask they where they work, things like that.
2019-12-04 07:07:04 PM cchase living in the moment is an expression of late
2019-12-04 07:07:16 PM cchase did you find that helpful?
2019-12-04 07:07:31 PM alexiew Talked about how a persons diet can help with Alzheimer's. Basically eat fresh veggies. I the diet includes potion sizes and even a glass of wine.
2019-12-04 07:07:37 PM alexiew I did find it helpful
2019-12-04 07:08:25 PM alexiew Im always think of different approaches. For people lliving with memory loss.
2019-12-04 07:08:37 PM cchase yes - it is said that wine is acceptable but more importantly than consuming wine is the environment for which you would normally enjoy that glass of wine...like a social gathering
2019-12-04 07:08:59 PM crdsteele Alex was that with your state alzheimer's association or with the activity association?
2019-12-04 07:09:00 PM alexiew exactly
2019-12-04 07:09:02 PM cchase social gatherings stimulate cognitive functioning - hence the wind
2019-12-04 07:09:05 PM cchase wine
2019-12-04 07:09:22 PM alexiew Alzheimer's association
2019-12-04 07:09:47 PM cchase doing puzzels - exercise - doing things with your least dominant hand also helps
2019-12-04 07:10:03 PM crdsteele oh that's neat! sounds like it provided some great tools!
2019-12-04 07:10:15 PM cchase if you normally use your right hand to brush your hair try using your left
2019-12-04 07:10:25 PM desjardins left the chat room
2019-12-04 07:11:04 PM cchase so this is an active participation based chat

2019-12-04 07:11:42 PM desjardins enter the chat room
2019-12-04 07:11:48 PM amanda with our exercise group we ecourage them to use the least dominate had some struggle and other do well
2019-12-04 07:11:48 PM cchase welcome back
2019-12-04 07:12:04 PM alexiew I the classes I took were: creatively engaging people with memory loss, music and memory and a two others this are mixing together.
2019-12-04 07:12:07 PM czuniga I'm doing my paper on alzheimers. hoping to gain some information
2019-12-04 07:12:48 PM cchase it is much harder for an elder to attempt using a hand that is not dominant - it can lead to frustration - so tread carefully with that challenge
2019-12-04 07:13:10 PM crdsteele That's interesting....we exercise every day, but i don't make a conscience effort to use their hand that isn't dominant
2019-12-04 07:13:27 PM desjardins any ideas on how to help a patient get to sleep. i have one right know that has slept maybe 1 hour in the last 36.
2019-12-04 07:13:35 PM cchase engagement happens when you offer them something that is of interest and stimulates them
2019-12-04 07:13:38 PM alexiew I have weight lifting for beginers its very fun.
2019-12-04 07:14:14 PM cchase again the concept of using another hand targets those prior to Alzheimer's onset
2019-12-04 07:14:24 PM alexiew usually can be followed by direction or visuallness. I have to phyical show them will simple direction.
2019-12-04 07:14:24 PM cchase it is a preventative effort
2019-12-04 07:14:42 PM cchase weight lifting is awesome
2019-12-04 07:14:45 PM alexiew Every tuesday resident have shown improvment of following directions
2019-12-04 07:14:59 PM amanda we also have someone from our therapy department that is with us and they encourage to do the best they can but we don't push the it. what every they do we make it sound exciting.. they seem
2019-12-04 07:14:59 PM cchase balance exercises are also extremely good
2019-12-04 07:15:00 PM alexiew Some simply have to learn how to hold the weights
2019-12-04 07:15:17 PM crdsteele yes visual clues are very effective
2019-12-04 07:15:28 PM amanda more willing to do it if we praise them all the time
2019-12-04 07:15:36 PM alexiew Somtimes has to be phyical and visual
2019-12-04 07:15:38 PM cchase you can do weight exercise with everyday items throughout the day
2019-12-04 07:15:45 PM alexiew encouragement
2019-12-04 07:16:01 PM alexiew passing things form one resdient to the next.
2019-12-04 07:16:02 PM cchase simple tasks are the best
2019-12-04 07:16:10 PM alexiew yes
2019-12-04 07:16:21 PM cchase yes... passing items is good
2019-12-04 07:16:51 PM alexiew very social thing to do
2019-12-04 07:16:52 PM crdsteele My residents like to use the "therapy bands". We don't have a therapy department, so they enjoy stretching them and it helps strengthen both arms
2019-12-04 07:16:59 PM cchase even reaching above the shoulders for something like a balloon is super
2019-12-04 07:17:13 PM alexiew yes ballon bop is on firdays
2019-12-04 07:17:14 PM czuniga I don't have alot to offer no experience with this
2019-12-04 07:17:16 PM cchase the gravity itself causes weight training
2019-12-04 07:17:25 PM amanda we do a balloon Volleyball and they all seem to love it.
2019-12-04 07:17:36 PM alexiew even people that can not open there hands can do it
2019-12-04 07:17:47 PM czuniga balloon volleyball sounds fun
2019-12-04 07:18:05 PM cchase czuniga - you certainly can ask questions to learn - bet you also have a few ideas
2019-12-04 07:18:13 PM desjardins i have a childs punching ballon i use with one of me patients
2019-12-04 07:18:32 PM crdsteele Yes and we like balloon tennis with pool noodles as rackets
2019-12-04 07:18:33 PM cchase a medicine ball is super for exercises
2019-12-04 07:18:45 PM amanda we play what ever music that they want to hear and use thepunch balloons and go back and forth with it.
2019-12-04 07:18:54 PM alexiew i bought some punching balloons and I was surpised that almost all the resident new how to do it.
2019-12-04 07:19:10 PM cchase use streamers - paper plates - any prop that they hold up in the air
2019-12-04 07:19:12 PM alexiew Hand and eye cordination.
2019-12-04 07:19:37 PM cchase yes - hand and eye practice
2019-12-04 07:20:05 PM amanda I recently got a parachute to use during our exercise group and they all really enjoyed doing that as will.
2019-12-04 07:20:08 PM desjardins if we have a larger group involved we have use a parachute as well
2019-12-04 07:20:15 PM cchase the first step even before all this is one very special thing - what do you think that is?
2019-12-04 07:20:27 PM alexiew is parachute to childish?
2019-12-04 07:20:53 PM cchase some find it so while others do not mind
2019-12-04 07:21:14 PM cchase remember they are adults and they know it when treated like children
2019-12-04 07:21:21 PM cchase it is not appreciated
2019-12-04 07:21:26 PM crdsteele There are endless possibilties- that's what makes this job so much fun
2019-12-04 07:21:55 PM desjardins i found that they compete against each other they don't want the ball or baloon to fall by tem so h
2019-12-04 07:21:56 PM cchase so does anyone know what the first step is when working with Alz population??
2019-12-04 07:22:00 PM amanda I thought that at first but I discussed with the residents and they wanted to do it. They were telling me what to put in the middle of it so that they can have things bouncing in the middle of it
2019-12-04 07:22:09 PM alexiew first step to approaching?
2019-12-04 07:22:14 PM desjardins they try to move it some where else
2019-12-04 07:22:19 PM alexiew or the disease process?
2019-12-04 07:22:34 PM cchase to working with the population?
2019-12-04 07:23:00 PM crdsteele Understanding their world?
2019-12-04 07:23:45 PM amanda encourage activites that they like
2019-12-04 07:23:48 PM cchase yes - you do step into their world but that is not the fist step
2019-12-04 07:24:21 PM cchase encouragement is also perfect but not the first step
2019-12-04 07:24:24 PM desjardins know their ability
2019-12-04 07:24:25 PM czuniga comunication?
2019-12-04 07:24:36 PM cchase all good guesses
2019-12-04 07:24:38 PM amanda never argue with them
2019-12-04 07:24:41 PM crdsteele Never try to reason
2019-12-04 07:24:43 PM czuniga Touch?
2019-12-04 07:24:43 PM alexiew eye to eye contact, speak clearly with simple stuctures sentences, smile, gentle touch,
2019-12-04 07:25:09 PM cchase yes - knowing their limitations is good but not what you need to do
2019-12-04 07:25:21 PM cchase or at least what I want you to know
2019-12-04 07:25:46 PM cchase absolutely true - you cannot reason with the bunch
2019-12-04 07:25:50 PM cchase but
2019-12-04 07:25:55 PM alexiew Know the person. When they are sensitive to light and sound.
2019-12-04 07:25:56 PM cchase give up??
2019-12-04 07:26:08 PM czuniga give
2019-12-04 07:26:11 PM alexiew treat them like people
2019-12-04 07:26:32 PM amanda get to know them on a personal level and speak with family to get to know the likes and dislikes
2019-12-04 07:26:41 PM cchase they are people -
2019-12-04 07:26:51 PM cchase getting warmer
2019-12-04 07:26:52 PM czuniga true
2019-12-04 07:27:15 PM amanda what stage are they at with the disease
2019-12-04 07:27:21 PM desjardins introduse them to each other
2019-12-04 07:27:28 PM cchase ok - so what I would like you to do from the start is to make a connection with them on a personal level
2019-12-04 07:27:29 PM alexiew commucate
2019-12-04 07:27:42 PM cchase "connection" then move to "trust"
2019-12-04 07:27:49 PM alexiew nice
2019-12-04 07:27:57 PM cchase if you do that - they will follow you
2019-12-04 07:28:00 PM amanda ahhh yes
2019-12-04 07:28:09 PM czuniga makes since
2019-12-04 07:28:12 PM alexiew trust is important
2019-12-04 07:28:16 PM crdsteele Yes, very true
2019-12-04 07:28:38 PM cchase they did not joinn the army - so they are not in boot camp
2019-12-04 07:28:44 PM alexiew we have a resident that for some reason does not trust me and i don't know what to do when he going into other peoples room thinking it his.
2019-12-04 07:29:19 PM cchase it is not uncommon for them to go in other rooms
2019-12-04 07:29:31 PM alexiew think its theirs
2019-12-04 07:29:33 PM cchase he may be having trouble finding his own rm
2019-12-04 07:29:46 PM alexiew tried to read the number on the door and name but didn't help
2019-12-04 07:29:57 PM cchase try to be crafty about making his rm easier to find
2019-12-04 07:30:05 PM alexiew i had to have help from other staff memebers. Maybe a new face helped
2019-12-04 07:30:33 PM amanda we have a few that have bright colored paper with there name on it so that they can see it. That seems to help
2019-12-04 07:30:34 PM cchase you will need to make his door more unique than the others
2019-12-04 07:30:39 PM desjardins we have theirpic outside their room
2019-12-04 07:30:48 PM cchase perhaps tape a picture he like on it
2019-12-04 07:30:53 PM crdsteele Try posting some pictures of himself or things he likes on his door
2019-12-04 07:31:04 PM cchase yes amanda good
2019-12-04 07:31:22 PM cchase you want to draw his attention to his rm
2019-12-04 07:31:34 PM crdsteele Shadow Boxes are also good
2019-12-04 07:31:39 PM cchase telling him verbally will not be effective
2019-12-04 07:31:45 PM alexiew He loves going down the dead end part of the building thinking it leads somwhere. when I ask where hes going he says outside and i say "ok,but your going the wrong way." This is alreayd a picture of him on his door and a stop sign on the other peoples door.
2019-12-04 07:31:55 PM cchase yup - shadow boxes good
2019-12-04 07:31:59 PM alexiew yea verbally doesn't help
2019-12-04 07:32:35 PM cchase he is looking for safety then
2019-12-04 07:32:50 PM alexiew usually bathroom
2019-12-04 07:32:53 PM amanda I have noticed that he will now tell us his room number but gets confused because he will go on another wing and doesn't see his name or sign that he is expecting to see and does start to get frantic
2019-12-04 07:32:54 PM desjardins walk with him and ofer to elp im find what he is looking for
2019-12-04 07:32:55 PM cchase he thinks he will find it at the end of the building
2019-12-04 07:33:01 PM alexiew But he already went
2019-12-04 07:33:34 PM cchase often - we paint the toilet a bright color to keep them from missing it when they need to use it
2019-12-04 07:33:59 PM cchase yes- good desjardins perfect - walk with him
2019-12-04 07:34:09 PM cchase that will help you earn his trust
2019-12-04 07:34:23 PM desjardins i have found that for some reason they have a hard time seeing the color white
2019-12-04 07:34:25 PM cchase it makes for a partnership
2019-12-04 07:34:26 PM alexiew thats another problem. For people with memeory loss, they dont' rememebr they just went to the bathroom and don't belive you when you say they did.
2019-12-04 07:34:42 PM cchase that is correct - white does not work
2019-12-04 07:34:47 PM alexiew I somtimes sit with him at meal time, hes usually there early
2019-12-04 07:34:54 PM cchase bright colors - red it very good
2019-12-04 07:35:05 PM crdsteele Yes white and black are usually the first colors to leave their sight- primary colors grab their attention really well!
2019-12-04 07:35:25 PM cchase let them go to the bathrm because they need to have some control over something
2019-12-04 07:35:32 PM alexiew yea
2019-12-04 07:35:52 PM cchase if that does it - going to the bathrm... means he is in control of his body not you
2019-12-04 07:36:54 PM cchase we need to convey some form of "you got this"
2019-12-04 07:37:13 PM cchase bathrm visits are harmless
2019-12-04 07:37:17 PM alexiew I encourage him to roam if he wishes
2019-12-04 07:37:25 PM czuniga independence
2019-12-04 07:37:32 PM alexiew he ahs to have help using the bathroom
2019-12-04 07:37:43 PM cchase yes good czuniga - independence
2019-12-04 07:37:44 PM crdsteele that makes sense. i have a couple of residents who constantly need to go to the bathroom. They need to feel a sense of independence
2019-12-04 07:37:47 PM alexiew he has fallen many times trying to use the tolent by himself
2019-12-04 07:38:26 PM cchase falls are always an issue when trying to allow for independence
2019-12-04 07:38:41 PM alexiew yea
2019-12-04 07:38:47 PM desjardins i found some 3d removable stickers and placed them on the bathroom door we call tem bathroom pet they like to talk to them about them while doing their buissness
2019-12-04 07:38:47 PM cchase setting things up correctly will help with that
2019-12-04 07:39:09 PM cchase love that desjardins
2019-12-04 07:39:13 PM alexiew routines take longer to set in when there is memory loss,but that makes sence
2019-12-04 07:39:42 PM amanda thats a great idea the 3d stickers
2019-12-04 07:39:51 PM desjardins they work with memery loss patient as well as others
2019-12-04 07:39:53 PM cchase routines are super important in terms of allowing them to get familiar with what to expect
2019-12-04 07:40:09 PM cchase it is less scary when you have a routine
2019-12-04 07:41:17 PM cchase so here is a scenario - I want you all to tell me what you would do - ready?
2019-12-04 07:41:26 PM crdsteele Ready
2019-12-04 07:41:31 PM amanda yes
2019-12-04 07:41:37 PM desjardins i have truble getting them to sleep any ideas
2019-12-04 07:42:10 PM cchase sleep is a constant issue at some point they get the days and nights confused
2019-12-04 07:42:23 PM alexiew ready
2019-12-04 07:42:23 PM cchase your nursing dept. should be right on that
2019-12-04 07:42:25 PM cchase ok
2019-12-04 07:42:39 PM desjardins ok
2019-12-04 07:43:13 PM cchase so Mary comes to get mom for dinner every wed. - one day when Mary got to mom's house - she found her mother ready at the door with her coat on
2019-12-04 07:43:40 PM cchase so pleased was Mary that mom remembered they both went off to the restaraunt
2019-12-04 07:44:43 PM cchase when they go there - they both took off there coats - however - mom only had a slip on (no dress) -- what would you do or say??
2019-12-04 07:46:12 PM czuniga kindly assist her in putting something on?
2019-12-04 07:46:33 PM crdsteele I would say it's a little chilly in here and put the coat back on her and continue with our dinner. No need to make her feel embarrased or draw attention to the fact she only has a slip on
2019-12-04 07:47:01 PM desjardins I would try to get her to put her coat back on, but then go on with diner as planed
2019-12-04 07:47:30 PM czuniga I honestly don't know the correct way to handle the situation
2019-12-04 07:47:35 PM desjardins let the restruant staff know the situation
2019-12-04 07:48:00 PM amanda I would say.... Oh i forgot something at your house we need to go back. quickly put her coat back on her and head out the door. then i would head to her house and have her put her dress on and then head back to the restuarant for lunch as if nothing ever happened
2019-12-04 07:48:31 PM desjardins lets face it know day street cloths look like sleep ware a lot
2019-12-04 07:48:42 PM alexiew I would do and say things that I would for anyone. Ask them ,not making a big deal out of it, why they were only wearing a slip and point at slip. if i ahd to i would Leave the restaurant to re dress and go back to have dinner. Or make dinner at home. if anything I would put the coat back on and continue with dinner. And probably talk about how they were doing at home.
2019-12-04 07:48:57 PM alexiew DES lol
2019-12-04 07:48:58 PM amanda At the restuarant i would explain what was going on and apologize for what happen with out the mom even knowing that i was doing it
2019-12-04 07:49:33 PM cchase so saying that it's chilly is the way to go to start but then --- never go ahead and put her coat on for her....
2019-12-04 07:49:49 PM cchase has anyone used the "mirror" technique??
2019-12-04 07:49:56 PM alexiew all the time

2019-12-04 07:50:11 PM desjardins what is that
2019-12-04 07:50:18 PM cchase say it's so so chilly in here - then put your own coat on.....
2019-12-04 07:50:30 PM cchase mom will "mirror" what you did
2019-12-04 07:50:42 PM alexiew show the moment they should be doing with verbal Qs
2019-12-04 07:50:43 PM cchase and no one needs to be the wiser
2019-12-04 07:50:44 PM czuniga makes since
