2020-05-06 06:01:57 PM tracichambers we try to keep our residents apart when taking them outside, i can take a couple out at a time
2020-05-06 06:02:06 PM tracichambers they still are isolated to their rooms though
2020-05-06 06:02:31 PM elaine They just move the tables and chairs we set down. Everyone is good at waering their mask on their chin, not as much on their nose and mouth.
2020-05-06 06:02:33 PM mclaughlinjenny activities doesnt go down there but once a week i try to and visit with them cant keep them in there rooms or apart
2020-05-06 06:02:46 PM jenniferslockbower enter the chat room
2020-05-06 06:03:05 PM cchase masks on the chin is not effective at all period
2020-05-06 06:03:15 PM mclaughlinjenny they have a hard time keeping the mask on
2020-05-06 06:03:22 PM mmclean I know there are different kinds of dementia but I have yet to find a diagnosis of a specific dementia; it just says non specific
2020-05-06 06:03:25 PM cchase that is unfortunate as news keeps reporting lost lives in nursing homes
2020-05-06 06:03:39 PM elaine Staff know that, but residents need constant reminders.
2020-05-06 06:03:44 PM jenniferslockbower my entire dementia unit is Covid positive
2020-05-06 06:03:52 PM tracichambers what kind of activities do yall do in the memory unit
2020-05-06 06:04:03 PM clarissam thats scary
2020-05-06 06:04:14 PM cchase according to CDC masks are not needed if social distancing is in place
2020-05-06 06:04:31 PM cchase so they are safer in their rooms
2020-05-06 06:04:37 PM mmclean We don't have memory care unit
2020-05-06 06:04:56 PM tracichambers i have 82 residents and about 20 are in the memory unit
2020-05-06 06:05:03 PM cchase or outside in no more than two or three at a time
2020-05-06 06:05:28 PM cchase dementia is a symptom - is is not in of itself a disease
2020-05-06 06:06:04 PM cchase those dx with Alzheimer's - disease have dementia symptoms because they have Alz
2020-05-06 06:06:05 PM tracichambers Most in the memory unit are alzheimers
2020-05-06 06:06:14 PM jenniferslockbower I knew once we had our first case on the memory unit, that it was going to spread like crazy no matter what we did. They do not understand, they wouldnl't wear masks, and they refused to stay in their rooms
2020-05-06 06:06:16 PM mmclean I wear a mask and face shield when doing room visits.
2020-05-06 06:06:24 PM clarissam i work with 50 residents that have alzheimer and dementia its so hard
2020-05-06 06:06:39 PM cchase parkingson, vascular , alcohol can cause dementia , even medication mix can cause dementia
2020-05-06 06:06:41 PM tracichambers it is hard, i have a hard time getting them engaged
2020-05-06 06:07:04 PM jenniferslockbower I have all of those diseases currently on our dementia unit
2020-05-06 06:07:17 PM mclaughlinjenny i did not know mix medication can cause dementia
2020-05-06 06:07:20 PM cchase the key is to make their environment safe
2020-05-06 06:07:22 PM careyjeff enter the chat room
2020-05-06 06:07:40 PM cchase because they do not do well following instructions
2020-05-06 06:07:43 PM clarissam i have 50/50 that love to do activities and the rest are my low functioning residents
2020-05-06 06:07:59 PM cchase so you do a kinda damage control strategy
2020-05-06 06:08:02 PM mmclean What distinguish althiemer from other dementia? isn't it the diagnosis?
2020-05-06 06:08:30 PM cchase Alzhimer's is a disease - dementia is not a disease in of itself
2020-05-06 06:08:44 PM tracichambers i'm lost on the difference really between the two.
2020-05-06 06:09:05 PM cchase other dementia's - also caused by other diseases
2020-05-06 06:09:39 PM tracichambers what is the difference between dementia and alzhimers
2020-05-06 06:09:50 PM mmclean I just got a person back from isolation, who has serious dementia. How do I tell her her roommate didn't make it?

2020-05-06 06:10:55 PM cchase you have a runny nose or a cough because you have a cold
2020-05-06 06:11:13 PM cchase the cold causes the runny nose and cough
2020-05-06 06:11:19 PM clarissam ok
2020-05-06 06:11:29 PM cchase the cold is the issue causing the symptoms
2020-05-06 06:11:39 PM cchase Alzheimer's is the issue causing dementia

2020-05-06 06:12:40 PM tracichambers oh ok, so dementia is basically forgetting things, and alzheimers not only causes dementia but other issues too?
2020-05-06 06:12:40 PM clarissam yes jeff
2020-05-06 06:12:52 PM mmclean It is a disease that "eats" the brain, targeting memory.

2020-05-06 06:15:03 PM cchase they lose interest because they cannot retain anything

2020-05-06 06:17:32 PM careyjeff Could be awhile lots of times families are in denial
2020-05-06 06:17:32 PM jordanjumper I see more dementia in women than males in my facility although to me it seems men have a tougher severe time

2020-05-06 06:18:48 PM cchase those plaques and tangles keep doing damange to the brain
2020-05-06 06:18:52 PM mclaughlinjenny denial from family and the person with it
2020-05-06 06:18:56 PM clarissam even when the families already know they are still in denial
2020-05-06 06:18:56 PM careyjeff My brother and I tried to tell my dad to get mom checked out
2020-05-06 06:19:09 PM jordanjumper you can go 10 yrs w/o symptoms
2020-05-06 06:19:18 PM teresabradley enter the chat room
2020-05-06 06:19:19 PM cchase they keep growing and sever the connections btw. neurons in the brain
2020-05-06 06:19:56 PM cchase the symptoms are present but folks are clever and very smart about hiding alot of it
2020-05-06 06:19:58 PM clarissam families are in denial even when they start decline
2020-05-06 06:20:04 PM tracichambers you don't want to believe something like that, then you have to face it, and its scary, so i can see the struggle. i didn't make it tht far with my parents cuz they passed when i was young, but i can imagine it would be devastating
2020-05-06 06:20:10 PM mmclean My brothers don't think anything is wrong, my stepmother covers for his memory loss. They don't live near, I am 3 miles away from my dad and see the decline.
2020-05-06 06:20:17 PM elaine so longer time to process information and less connections of familiar info.?
2020-05-06 06:20:28 PM careyjeff Yes. Whats the term when they overcompensate to hide it?
2020-05-06 06:20:42 PM cchase when the neurons are blocked from the plaques and tangles the messages do not get to their destination
2020-05-06 06:20:54 PM tracichambers ohhh
2020-05-06 06:20:56 PM jordanjumper mood and personality changes are early symptoms?
2020-05-06 06:20:59 PM mclaughlinjenny oh ok
2020-05-06 06:21:10 PM clarissam there are 7stages
2020-05-06 06:21:18 PM cchase when that happens the brain cannot tell the body what to do or how to do it
2020-05-06 06:21:22 PM cchase 7 Stages of Alzheimer's:Stage 1: Normal. Stage 1 Figure 1. ...Stage 2: Normal aged forgetfulness. ...Stage 3: Mild cognitive impairment. ...Stage 4: Mild Alzheimer's disease. ...Stage 5: Moderate Alzheimer's disease. ...Stage 6: Moderately severe Alzheimer's disease. ...Stage 7: Severe Alzheimer's disease.
2020-05-06 06:21:45 PM tracichambers so can things help to prevent it
2020-05-06 06:21:51 PM cchase so eventually the brain cannot even tell the person's organs how to function
2020-05-06 06:22:12 PM elaine they can read others emotions well and tell when someone is frustrated that they have said something 12 times (when it seems like the first time to them)
2020-05-06 06:22:30 PM cchase think of this when we are talking about memory and damaged neuron connections....ready?
2020-05-06 06:22:41 PM jordanjumper dementia and alz is not a normal part of aging! i have read that multiple times
2020-05-06 06:22:54 PM cchase that is true jordan

2020-05-06 06:23:02 PM teresabradley They don't remember how to do certain functions like dressing, brushing their teeth even eating.
2020-05-06 06:23:05 PM tracichambers yes
2020-05-06 06:23:07 PM mmclean I've seen it as an inability to remember, my father was a math teacher and he forgot math (trig,calc) higher math that he could do in his sleep before.
2020-05-06 06:23:07 PM jordanjumper ready
2020-05-06 06:23:08 PM mclaughlinjenny ready
2020-05-06 06:23:29 PM cchase ok - so when you create a word document - you give it a name and save it
2020-05-06 06:23:39 PM cchase on your laptop, etc
2020-05-06 06:23:55 PM teresabradley left the chat room
2020-05-06 06:23:59 PM clarissam stage 3 many residents have difficulty in many areas including finding the right words during a converstaion remembering names and acquaintance and planning and organizing
2020-05-06 06:24:01 PM cchase when you want to look at it later you call it by name...right?

2020-05-06 06:24:27 PM teresabradley yes easier to find
2020-05-06 06:24:31 PM cchase yup - finds it by name
2020-05-06 06:24:33 PM teresabradley left the chat room
2020-05-06 06:24:42 PM mmclean Then he had trouble recalling names of people he worked with after he retired, people he worked with in the past say 5 years.
2020-05-06 06:24:43 PM cchase it has been saved in a file by name
2020-05-06 06:24:49 PM teresabradley enter the chat room
2020-05-06 06:25:08 PM elaine misfiling info.
2020-05-06 06:25:12 PM teresabradley learned that the hard way!

2020-05-06 06:25:30 PM cchase yup
2020-05-06 06:25:33 PM jordanjumper cant find
2020-05-06 06:25:39 PM cchase this is what is happening in the brain
2020-05-06 06:25:53 PM clarissam stage 3 many residents have difficulty in many areas including finding the right words during a converstaion remembering names and acquaintance and planning and organizing
2020-05-06 06:25:55 PM cchase the plaques and tangles sever the connection to the memory file
2020-05-06 06:26:06 PM cchase you cannot save it - you cannot retreive it
2020-05-06 06:26:07 PM mclaughlinjenny which causes fustration for many
2020-05-06 06:26:21 PM cchase which is why residents forget within mins.
2020-05-06 06:26:33 PM cchase they never saved the information to begin with
2020-05-06 06:26:46 PM careyjeff What about remembering words to songs?
2020-05-06 06:26:49 PM cchase anyone know what short term memory is?

2020-05-06 06:27:09 PM cchase good one jeff - I will get to that
2020-05-06 06:27:10 PM jenniferslockbower I have trouble with family members that don't get it. They think if they drill the info into the resident's brain that they'll remember it
2020-05-06 06:27:10 PM tracichambers short term, like things that happened recently?
2020-05-06 06:27:11 PM clarissam i have a lady that she dont talk but if she hears a song she will sing it
2020-05-06 06:27:18 PM mclaughlinjenny yes not remembering what happened recently

2020-05-06 06:27:44 PM jordanjumper actively holding small amount of info for short time
2020-05-06 06:27:48 PM cchase yes - recent events... they are never saved in the memory file - remember?
2020-05-06 06:28:11 PM mclaughlinjenny oh
2020-05-06 06:28:21 PM cchase now Jeff mentioned singing songs.. that is likely to be Long term memory

2020-05-06 06:39:15 PM cchase so your power is in redirection
2020-05-06 06:39:19 PM mmclean The secret is. Know your residents. know what triggers them, and be flexable to how you interact with them when the switch is flipped
