2020-03-04 07:09:35 PM splush2402 I know that it is complex.
2020-03-04 07:10:01 PM cchase yes very complex
2020-03-04 07:10:29 PM elaine Alz. is a type of the wider spectrum of dementia, has stages, requires ingenuity
2020-03-04 07:10:32 PM splush2402 I work in an Assisted Living/ Memory Care facility

2020-03-04 07:11:03 PM splush2402 It is so hard
2020-03-04 07:11:22 PM cchase so here's the thing
2020-03-04 07:11:47 PM splush2402 Keeping them engaged and interested.
2020-03-04 07:11:55 PM cchase you cannot schedule wwhat they will be interested in on a given day
2020-03-04 07:11:55 PM splush2402 Participation.
2020-03-04 07:11:58 PM cchase it changes
2020-03-04 07:12:14 PM cchase you have to let them take the lead
2020-03-04 07:12:29 PM splush2402 How do I make a schedule of activities for an aide to follow?
2020-03-04 07:12:51 PM elaine I wish we had more people to do individual participation 1 on 1s work well
2020-03-04 07:12:56 PM cchase I have had the most amazing experience just sitting and sharing stories best time
2020-03-04 07:13:27 PM cchase when does your aide plan to work with the residents? what time of day ?
2020-03-04 07:13:36 PM elaine We have some great story tellers
2020-03-04 07:13:42 PM splush2402 Yes. Our residents LOVE to be read to. But that is about the ONLY successful activity I have. 4
2020-03-04 07:13:46 PM splush2402 10 am - 6pm
2020-03-04 07:14:07 PM cchase sometimes - just sharing stories - making fun of yourself works so well
2020-03-04 07:14:27 PM splush2402 I have to do a schedule to keep her doing things, because I can't count on her to just feel out the vibe and take initiative. I tried that and she ends up doing nothing
2020-03-04 07:14:30 PM elaine Our residents enjoy music
2020-03-04 07:14:45 PM splush2402 lol. I love the making fun of yourself.
2020-03-04 07:14:46 PM splush2402 thats great
2020-03-04 07:14:56 PM cchase ok Shae - can she be a helper for you
2020-03-04 07:15:04 PM cchase to get a hang of it
2020-03-04 07:15:21 PM cchase humor is the best medicine
2020-03-04 07:15:23 PM splush2402 I facilitate activities all day on AL side of our facility.
2020-03-04 07:15:32 PM splush2402 I agree
2020-03-04 07:15:55 PM elaine Would she be better on your side and you switch with her?
2020-03-04 07:15:56 PM splush2402 I guess I need to rethink her "training"
2020-03-04 07:15:58 PM cchase they often just want to forget where they are
2020-03-04 07:16:01 PM splush2402 Is that what you think?
2020-03-04 07:16:35 PM splush2402 That is a good solution too.
2020-03-04 07:16:45 PM splush2402 Or at least switch with her.
2020-03-04 07:16:58 PM splush2402 alternate
2020-03-04 07:16:58 PM cchase yes - obervation is great training - she also needs to get to know the resident to establish trust
2020-03-04 07:17:11 PM splush2402 yes
2020-03-04 07:17:13 PM elaine Assisted living is easier for some people because of the structure
2020-03-04 07:17:28 PM cchase trust is HUGE - if you can earn that you will do so much
2020-03-04 07:17:57 PM cchase yes- elaine predictable day is good for them
2020-03-04 07:17:58 PM splush2402 It is easier, but they are more demanding and we have 3x more residents on AL than MC
2020-03-04 07:18:22 PM elaine people can sence if someone feels uncomfortable or doesn't want to do something
2020-03-04 07:18:25 PM splush2402 a predictable day is good for MC?
2020-03-04 07:18:40 PM cchase can any your resident do a buddy system?
2020-03-04 07:18:51 PM splush2402 Yes, I do feel like her attitude and approach is getting in the way of success
2020-03-04 07:19:06 PM cchase pattern that is consistent helps them by reducing anxiety
2020-03-04 07:19:15 PM cchase the unknown can be pretty scary
2020-03-04 07:19:22 PM splush2402 ok
2020-03-04 07:19:37 PM cchase especially when you do not know who you are or who everyone else is
2020-03-04 07:19:54 PM splush2402 that makes a lot of sense
2020-03-04 07:19:58 PM elaine reassurance goes a long way
2020-03-04 07:20:04 PM cchase you cannot "control" you have to let them lead you
2020-03-04 07:20:19 PM cchase the path of less resistance works best
2020-03-04 07:20:23 PM splush2402 so if i did a daily agenda for them to look at? that would help
2020-03-04 07:20:35 PM cchase yes - reassurance - trust -
2020-03-04 07:20:36 PM splush2402 ok
2020-03-04 07:20:58 PM cchase you can do that agenda but
2020-03-04 07:21:14 PM cchase you have to be quick on your feet and have a backup plan
2020-03-04 07:21:37 PM splush2402 yes. i do know to alwaysss have a plan b with mc
2020-03-04 07:21:43 PM splush2402 lol
2020-03-04 07:21:48 PM cchase you show them a red ball but they smile when they see a yellow ball - you go with the yellow ball
2020-03-04 07:21:51 PM cchase got it
2020-03-04 07:22:03 PM splush2402 yes. thank you
2020-03-04 07:22:26 PM cchase you can start out with something but allow it to take flight. .
2020-03-04 07:22:42 PM elaine going with their emotion helps if you don't know what they are saying too
2020-03-04 07:23:37 PM cchase I once was in a small rm with about 15 MC residents. and a helium filled balloon got loose- it went bobbing everwhere in that small rm. they laughed when I tried to catch it
2020-03-04 07:23:48 PM cchase they laugh so much... it was great
2020-03-04 07:24:00 PM splush2402 thats great!
2020-03-04 07:24:04 PM elaine We have some very talkative people, but a lot of listeners don't have a clue what they are saying
2020-03-04 07:24:12 PM cchase we were being surveyed that day too - so perfect
2020-03-04 07:24:36 PM cchase yes - absolutely go with the emotions
2020-03-04 07:25:08 PM cchase you translate there words from the emotions
2020-03-04 07:25:15 PM cchase here's the thing
2020-03-04 07:25:53 PM cchase this nasty disease causes distruction throughout the brain but the last place it damages is where we hold emotions
2020-03-04 07:26:23 PM cchase so they have emotions sometimes long into the disease process but don't know why they feel the emotions
2020-03-04 07:26:38 PM splush2402 Yes.
2020-03-04 07:26:38 PM cchase they can be sad... not know why t
2020-03-04 07:26:44 PM elaine I also have some protective people - they think the TV area is theirs alone and they decide who gets to enter and stay. It can be tough.
2020-03-04 07:26:50 PM cchase they can be happy and not know why either
2020-03-04 07:26:54 PM splush2402 I feel like some get stuck on the same emotion
2020-03-04 07:27:01 PM splush2402 allll the time
2020-03-04 07:27:10 PM cchase yes - so true shae

2020-03-04 07:32:30 PM splush2402 a few years

2020-03-04 07:32:55 PM cchase you can have Alz brewing in the brain some ten years before it is diagnosed
2020-03-04 07:33:13 PM cchase many folks hide it
2020-03-04 07:33:15 PM elaine didn't realize that long
2020-03-04 07:33:29 PM torijarrett My gma definitely tried to hide it
2020-03-04 07:33:32 PM cchase or they deny that they are having problems
2020-03-04 07:34:09 PM elaine seems family notises first sometimes
2020-03-04 07:34:14 PM cchase the brain develops plaques & tangles that prevent synapse communication
2020-03-04 07:34:15 PM torijarrett She's in middle stages I believe so she is still at home
2020-03-04 07:34:28 PM cchase yes elaine - so true
2020-03-04 07:34:31 PM torijarrett They don't really know what causes it right?
2020-03-04 07:34:53 PM cchase there is no concrete evidence as to what causes it
2020-03-04 07:35:24 PM cchase they have come up with a blood test that has shown pretty reliable
2020-03-04 07:35:27 PM splush2402 Is it true some foods can make it progress faster?
2020-03-04 07:35:54 PM torijarrett does the blood test diagnose it?
2020-03-04 07:35:59 PM cchase There is definitely a preferred diet that is believed to help you stay healthier
2020-03-04 07:36:04 PM elaine I've seen articles like that
2020-03-04 07:36:33 PM cchase the blood test has been remarkably reliable but it is also done with a family history
2020-03-04 07:36:51 PM cchase this disease does follow family history
2020-03-04 07:37:04 PM torijarrett Okay, I was wondering how they diagnosed it because I didnt' really think they had a way to do that when you're living
2020-03-04 07:37:22 PM cchase if someone in the family has it it increases your risks to have it but is not definite
2020-03-04 07:37:48 PM cchase they do an autopsy to confirm
2020-03-04 07:38:23 PM cchase if you can check these websites to learn more
2020-03-04 07:38:37 PM torijarrett Yeah, that's what I thought. It makes me nervous, because my gma on my mom''s side was diagnosed and we lost my pap to complications from it on my dad's side last year

2020-03-04 07:40:14 PM cchase tori family history only increases the risk but does not mean it will definitely be a problem
2020-03-04 07:41:05 PM cchase when working with this population - you really need to work on allowing them as much dignity as you can

2020-03-04 07:42:31 PM splush2402 Not making them feel bad for the way they are because they can't help it.
2020-03-04 07:42:42 PM cchase when I asked more about this... she said that staff was stealing her dignity everyday
2020-03-04 07:42:50 PM torijarrett Awwe!
2020-03-04 07:42:50 PM splush2402 I see family members treat them as if they can do anything about it. It makes me so sad

2020-03-04 07:47:07 PM torijarrett We have a lady that has to go to the bathroom every 5 minutes because she forgets she just went
2020-03-04 07:47:08 PM elaine They remember a relationship not necessarily name , position, etc.
2020-03-04 07:47:15 PM splush2402 I am going to be honest. Sometimes I do after the 100th time.
2020-03-04 07:47:43 PM cchase yes tori - bathrm is absolutely often visited
2020-03-04 07:47:48 PM splush2402 I just take a breather and remind myself
2020-03-04 07:48:12 PM cchase yes the relationship or the emotions that person makes them feel stays with them
2020-03-04 07:48:30 PM elaine it took a while for me to cut out the word "remember"
