2013-04-03 05:54:06 PM cchase we will be chatting about Alzheimer's tonight
2013-04-03 05:54:06 PM cathymayle I sit beside him at a table while I do my paperwork
2013-04-03 05:54:24 PM cchase do you engage him in anyway?
2013-04-03 05:54:43 PM cathymayle He has a real short attention span, but yes I try
2013-04-03 05:54:54 PM cchase how?
2013-04-03 05:55:41 PM cathymayle Magazines, foam blocks, newspaper...he actually listens when I read him the newspaper
2013-04-03 05:56:03 PM cathymayle He likes the Lone Ranger, so I play that
2013-04-03 05:56:20 PM cchase good choices

2013-04-03 05:56:51 PM cathymayle He doens't like when I do groups and he is involved...he likes 1:1 and that's it
2013-04-03 05:57:02 PM cchase can he verbalize?
2013-04-03 05:57:08 PM cathymayle He listens to me and smiles at funny things

2013-04-03 05:58:49 PM cchase can each of you tell me something different about alzheimer's??
2013-04-03 05:58:52 PM cchase hello there
2013-04-03 05:58:59 PM cathymayle Like one of the STNA's walked by another resident who made the comment she was walking so fast they thought she was driving. James started laughing and said, "You wish you were driving"
2013-04-03 05:59:01 PM kmcooley It is a form of dementia
2013-04-03 05:59:52 PM cchase Dementia is a symptom of Alheimer's
2013-04-03 06:00:03 PM cchase Alzheimer's
2013-04-03 06:00:13 PM cchase there are other reasons for dementia
2013-04-03 06:00:39 PM jfaines0909 Alz. causes the brain to "shrink".
2013-04-03 06:00:52 PM cchase yes it does - good one
2013-04-03 06:01:00 PM kmcooley yes, quite a few other types
2013-04-03 06:01:18 PM jfaines0909 some people have vascular dementia which is different than Alz. symptom
2013-04-03 06:01:28 PM cchase right!
2013-04-03 06:01:46 PM jfaines0909 My dad had a stroke so I found out about that the hard way.
2013-04-03 06:01:46 PM kmcooley I think it can only be truly diagnosed after death with an autopsy?
2013-04-03 06:01:59 PM cchase so sorry about your Dad
2013-04-03 06:02:15 PM cchase right! only via autopsy
2013-04-03 06:02:26 PM horton enter the chat room
2013-04-03 06:02:33 PM jfaines0909 Does it benefit residents if a LTC facility has a certified dementia/Alz. unit?
2013-04-03 06:02:43 PM cchase but there is a gene that is associated with it do you know what that is?
2013-04-03 06:02:47 PM cchase hello
2013-04-03 06:03:02 PM cchase absolutely yes
2013-04-03 06:03:10 PM lfrancois There is different stages of Alz
2013-04-03 06:03:19 PM cchase right! good
2013-04-03 06:03:20 PM taggirl500 enter the chat room
2013-04-03 06:03:36 PM jfaines0909 I don't know the gene answer.
2013-04-03 06:03:47 PM taggirl500 Me either
2013-04-03 06:03:47 PM cchase ok- one minute
2013-04-03 06:03:58 PM cchase let me let the others catch up
2013-04-03 06:03:58 PM kmcooley Alzheimer's sometimes progresses faster than other types of dementia
2013-04-03 06:04:14 PM cchase sort of
2013-04-03 06:04:37 PM cchase I am asking everyone to tell me something about Alzheimer's
2013-04-03 06:05:04 PM horton left the chat room
2013-04-03 06:05:07 PM lfrancois no cure
2013-04-03 06:05:10 PM cchase Alzheimer's progresses differently at each stage
2013-04-03 06:05:16 PM cchase right no cure
2013-04-03 06:06:06 PM cchase other dementias like vascular, alcohol, lewy bodies,
2013-04-03 06:06:16 PM cchase mmanifest differently
2013-04-03 06:06:23 PM cchase manifest
2013-04-03 06:06:46 PM kmcooley there are threads of stuff that entangle inside the brain
2013-04-03 06:06:54 PM cchase very good
2013-04-03 06:06:55 PM taggirl500 Some Alzheimers residents have sundowners
2013-04-03 06:07:00 PM cathymayle We have a resident who has alzheimers from alcohol
2013-04-03 06:07:00 PM cchase right
2013-04-03 06:07:06 PM cchase also good answer
2013-04-03 06:07:22 PM lfrancois its not the same in every person
2013-04-03 06:07:25 PM cchase there are plaques and tangles - of beta amyloid
2013-04-03 06:07:30 PM jfaines0909 I was told today that most progressed Alz. residents respond better to sensory videos rather than regular movies because they can't follow a story line anymore
2013-04-03 06:08:00 PM cchase absolutely right - very good indeed
2013-04-03 06:08:11 PM mayamoo3 enter the chat room
2013-04-03 06:08:26 PM cchase that is why it is better to show them older movies that have no particular plot line
2013-04-03 06:08:27 PM mayamoo3 hello
2013-04-03 06:08:33 PM cchase hello
2013-04-03 06:08:36 PM lfrancois hello
2013-04-03 06:08:40 PM kmcooley They need to feel secure as evening comes on...
2013-04-03 06:08:40 PM jfaines0909 I find music works really well with dem/alz residents at my faciltiy
2013-04-03 06:08:57 PM cchase music is transending
2013-04-03 06:09:01 PM taggirl500 Dancing works well with mine
2013-04-03 06:09:08 PM cchase and comforting
2013-04-03 06:09:15 PM cchase what else
2013-04-03 06:09:20 PM taggirl500 Always SMILE
2013-04-03 06:09:29 PM jfaines0909 I also found out that the last thing they lose is there ability to recognize color.
2013-04-03 06:09:32 PM cchase oh by the way the gene is apoe4
2013-04-03 06:09:48 PM cchase they can detect it in the blood -
2013-04-03 06:09:48 PM lfrancois I heard music is the last
2013-04-03 06:09:54 PM cathymayle Never heard of that gene
2013-04-03 06:10:04 PM cchase color?
2013-04-03 06:10:08 PM taggirl500 Smiling gives then a since of calm
2013-04-03 06:10:22 PM cchase the last thing they lose is emotions
2013-04-03 06:10:26 PM taggirl500 I've never heard about the color
2013-04-03 06:10:34 PM jfaines0909 Is that gene only dected in all dementias?
2013-04-03 06:10:37 PM cchase no not color
2013-04-03 06:10:45 PM lfrancois I have a resident she can still play the organ but cant remember anything else.
2013-04-03 06:10:53 PM mayamoo3 I find quiet with low music is good
2013-04-03 06:10:54 PM cchase no only in those with higher risk for Alzheimer's
2013-04-03 06:10:56 PM taggirl500 They still have emotions just don't know how to express right?
2013-04-03 06:11:16 PM cchase they can't figure out their emotions
2013-04-03 06:11:31 PM cchase they feel angry but do not know why
2013-04-03 06:11:34 PM taggirl500 Yes thats what I ment Sorry
2013-04-03 06:11:40 PM jfaines0909 They forget what things mean, like the ability to recognize when the body is hungry.
2013-04-03 06:11:47 PM cchase you were right
2013-04-03 06:11:47 PM lfrancois a lot of them repeat themselves
2013-04-03 06:11:55 PM kmcooley Maybe it depends on the person...one who was very social, with great conversation skills, can be good at stringing "nonsense" words that sound plausible...
2013-04-03 06:12:19 PM cchase well - actually the disease takes away the sense of appetite
2013-04-03 06:12:29 PM jfaines0909 Oh....ok...
2013-04-03 06:12:32 PM cchase did I spell that right - jesh
2013-04-03 06:12:50 PM cathymayle They have difficulty remembering newly learned information
2013-04-03 06:12:52 PM taggirl500 Do you know if people with alzhemeirs have history's of ADD
2013-04-03 06:13:01 PM cchase and sometimes it takes away there sense of being full - and they eat and eat
2013-04-03 06:13:07 PM jfaines0909 So I guess the swearing that some of them do comes from the disease taking away the sense of appropriate language.
2013-04-03 06:13:09 PM taggirl500 They have short term memory loss
2013-04-03 06:13:09 PM cchase right
2013-04-03 06:13:25 PM cchase why do they have short term memory loss?
2013-04-03 06:13:51 PM mayamoo3 because of the part of the brain alzheimers effects
2013-04-03 06:13:58 PM taggirl500 Because of how the diese affects the brain
2013-04-03 06:14:06 PM cchase how does that work?
2013-04-03 06:14:15 PM jfaines0909 Is it because short term memory is located in a place in the brain that gets attacked first?
2013-04-03 06:14:17 PM cathymayle They are usually suspicious of family members also
2013-04-03 06:14:32 PM cchase yes they do get paranoid
2013-04-03 06:14:36 PM kmcooley Yes...
2013-04-03 06:14:46 PM cchase what about the plaques?
2013-04-03 06:14:58 PM cchase connect that with short term memory loss
2013-04-03 06:15:38 PM cchase anyone give it a try?
2013-04-03 06:15:40 PM horton enter the chat room
2013-04-03 06:15:52 PM cchase hello
2013-04-03 06:16:00 PM taggirl500 I am not sure
2013-04-03 06:16:07 PM cchase ok
2013-04-03 06:16:08 PM cathymayle Plaques build up in the spaces between the nerve cells
2013-04-03 06:16:23 PM jfaines0909 The plaques must do something to the signal to prevent the memory from implanting
2013-04-03 06:16:26 PM cchase the brain is like a computer right?
2013-04-03 06:16:28 PM kmcooley parts of the brain do not function effectively
2013-04-03 06:16:35 PM lfrancois yes
2013-04-03 06:16:39 PM cchase yes- our onto something
2013-04-03 06:17:02 PM kmcooley the plagues are like bugs in a computer program
2013-04-03 06:17:11 PM jfaines0909 Like defraging a computer. the signals get all jumbled and the brain can't get them in order to file them
2013-04-03 06:17:11 PM cathymayle The plaques usually begin in areas important for memory before spreading to other regions
2013-04-03 06:17:12 PM lfrancois its like a bunch of wires are crossed??
2013-04-03 06:17:16 PM cchase the plaques build up and the nuerons cant's fire information (pass it) to each other
2013-04-03 06:17:18 PM thively enter the chat room
2013-04-03 06:17:36 PM thively Hi, is this one of the extra credit chats?
2013-04-03 06:17:38 PM cchase yes - good one about the wires being crossed
2013-04-03 06:17:40 PM kmcooley Extremely frustrating for the person!
2013-04-03 06:17:54 PM cchase yes this is extra credit :P
2013-04-03 06:17:58 PM jfaines0909 But long term memory is already created and stored so it's not affected right away
2013-04-03 06:18:08 PM cchase right
2013-04-03 06:18:14 PM taggirl500 Ok but why do they take new stories they've heard and make them there own?
2013-04-03 06:18:34 PM kmcooley trying to fit in
2013-04-03 06:18:35 PM cchase so like a computer- what we see gets labelled and filed away for retreival later
2013-04-03 06:18:37 PM thively ok great! Sorry I'm a bit late. My name is Tiffany Hively and I'm in ME1-030513
2013-04-03 06:18:46 PM cchase hello tiffany
2013-04-03 06:18:55 PM lfrancois Why can they remember long term memory and not short
2013-04-03 06:19:06 PM kmcooley I am in MEPAP2-020513
2013-04-03 06:19:13 PM taggirl500 Its already been passed through
2013-04-03 06:19:16 PM cchase the plaques prevent the informaton from getting labelled and filed someplace
2013-04-03 06:19:23 PM cchase so it can't be retrieved
2013-04-03 06:19:24 PM cathymayle I am MEPAP2-030513
2013-04-03 06:19:31 PM lfrancois aww got you
2013-04-03 06:19:45 PM kmcooley is this the same as in the other dementias and Parkinson's?
2013-04-03 06:19:51 PM thively my Mommom had Alzheimer's when I was in high school and I was one of her primary caregivers for several years before her passing in 2002
2013-04-03 06:20:03 PM cchase that's why long term memory has already been filed information before the onset of the disease
2013-04-03 06:20:06 PM horton Hello I finally figured this out...I am Vanecia
2013-04-03 06:20:12 PM jfaines0909 I heard a long time ago that scientist though that deodorant was a cause of alz. is that still true?
2013-04-03 06:20:17 PM cchase hello there
2013-04-03 06:20:41 PM taggirl500 Deodorant surely not
2013-04-03 06:20:44 PM cchase have not heard that of late about deodorant
2013-04-03 06:20:45 PM lfrancois I would think not since its a brain
2013-04-03 06:20:47 PM thively I heard that about anti perspirant as well
2013-04-03 06:20:59 PM thively they said it was the aluminum
2013-04-03 06:21:09 PM cchase no don't think I have heard that either
2013-04-03 06:21:11 PM jfaines0909 yes thats right
2013-04-03 06:21:13 PM kmcooley Wow, thively...
2013-04-03 06:21:17 PM mayamoo3 They used to think it was the aluminum in deo, but not any more. I do know elderly people who still refuse to use aluminum pans because of this.
2013-04-03 06:21:30 PM jfaines0909 Huh!
2013-04-03 06:21:46 PM cchase they were talking about how that causes dementia
2013-04-03 06:21:50 PM cchase I think?
2013-04-03 06:21:58 PM cchase not Alzheimer's
2013-04-03 06:22:04 PM mayamoo3 specifically alzheimers
2013-04-03 06:22:14 PM jfaines0909 Yes...my mom made me use a natural crystal when I was in HS because of the scare.
2013-04-03 06:22:16 PM taggirl500 MEPAP2 030513..........Still sounds far fetched
2013-04-03 06:22:16 PM thively yeah I had heard Alzheimer
2013-04-03 06:22:33 PM thively 's*
2013-04-03 06:22:38 PM cchase well that was back in the day
2013-04-03 06:22:43 PM cchase not so today
2013-04-03 06:23:00 PM cchase they have connected it to that gene
2013-04-03 06:23:01 PM jfaines0909 Do they have any leads on what causes Alz?
2013-04-03 06:23:12 PM thively there are a number of medications out now that can help stave off the symptoms for a while, right?
2013-04-03 06:23:13 PM jfaines0909 oh..you answered it
2013-04-03 06:23:17 PM taggirl500 how early can you detect the gene
2013-04-03 06:23:19 PM taggirl500 ??
2013-04-03 06:23:30 PM cchase plaques and tangles prevent neurons from communicating in the brain
2013-04-03 06:23:32 PM lfrancois DNA
2013-04-03 06:23:50 PM cathymayle Diet
2013-04-03 06:23:54 PM horton what are the early symptoms
2013-04-03 06:23:59 PM cchase some meds work to minimize the behavior problems
2013-04-03 06:24:07 PM kmcooley forgetting
2013-04-03 06:24:09 PM cchase other meds make it worst
2013-04-03 06:24:21 PM cchase right forgetting
2013-04-03 06:24:24 PM thively really? what benefit do they have then?
2013-04-03 06:24:29 PM taggirl500 Would it be detectable right now?
2013-04-03 06:24:35 PM brenda1945 enter the chat room
2013-04-03 06:24:36 PM thively or is it a case by case thing?
2013-04-03 06:24:45 PM horton forgetting...I do that all the time...lol
2013-04-03 06:24:48 PM cchase they say they can find this gene in the blood
2013-04-03 06:24:50 PM taggirl500 My grandparents have Alz
2013-04-03 06:25:06 PM cchase but it comes down to a diagnosis of elimination
2013-04-03 06:25:07 PM kmcooley is there any difference in the brains of those wih early onset and regular alz.?
2013-04-03 06:25:15 PM taggirl500 Yes
2013-04-03 06:25:26 PM cchase I forget too:P
2013-04-03 06:25:28 PM alisonschneider1 enter the chat room
2013-04-03 06:25:35 PM cchase hello there
2013-04-03 06:25:39 PM taggirl500 Isn't there that why theres different stages
2013-04-03 06:25:59 PM brenda1945 I have aunts on my mother's side of the family that had Alzheimers, very hard on patient and family
2013-04-03 06:26:05 PM cchase yes there is a difference - more plaques and tangles smaller brain size
2013-04-03 06:26:08 PM alisonschneider1 is this the first chat for mepap1?
2013-04-03 06:26:14 PM cchase more loss of body functions
2013-04-03 06:26:32 PM brenda1945 Decline is sometimes very rapid.
2013-04-03 06:26:38 PM lfrancois yes

2013-04-03 06:27:09 PM cchase decline depends on when the onset was

2013-04-03 06:28:52 PM cchase Teepa Snow is awesome
2013-04-03 06:28:58 PM jfaines0909 What do you think about this brain research that the prsident is proposing?
2013-04-03 06:29:14 PM cathymayle I think she is gonna be at the symposium the end of May
2013-04-03 06:29:19 PM jfaines0909 It's supposed to be geared towards finding cures for things like Alz.
2013-04-03 06:29:25 PM brenda1945 Depends on what they are doing, I am rather skeptical
2013-04-03 06:29:25 PM kmcooley Yes...Funny, but really helpful re Alz
2013-04-03 06:29:29 PM cchase I know he is trying to get more funding for Alz
2013-04-03 06:29:38 PM lfrancois I hope he does
2013-04-03 06:30:04 PM cchase it comes down to the high cost of caring for Alz
2013-04-03 06:30:12 PM cchase he has to do something
2013-04-03 06:30:26 PM lfrancois true
2013-04-03 06:30:28 PM jfaines0909 I feel like all the elderly are diag. with Alz and all the children are diag. with ADD...it's scary
2013-04-03 06:30:29 PM kmcooley What % of people in late 70's get dementia/alz?
2013-04-03 06:30:36 PM brenda1945 Such a devestating diseaae, I am curious if diet is an important factor
2013-04-03 06:30:46 PM cchase well
2013-04-03 06:30:52 PM kmcooley age 70's, not 1970's...
2013-04-03 06:30:55 PM cchase there was a study in Chicago
2013-04-03 06:31:08 PM lfrancois im sure its a lot
2013-04-03 06:31:12 PM cchase 823 people that did not have Alz
2013-04-03 06:31:17 PM horton i what did they find in the study?
2013-04-03 06:31:19 PM cchase over a four month period
2013-04-03 06:31:47 PM cchase 70 plus people were later diagnosed with Alz
2013-04-03 06:32:05 PM cchase because they ranked the lowest in socialzation
2013-04-03 06:32:09 PM horton omg
2013-04-03 06:32:13 PM mayamoo3 so something like 9%
2013-04-03 06:32:15 PM cchase islolation is awful
2013-04-03 06:32:23 PM cchase right 9%
2013-04-03 06:32:24 PM cathymayle very much so
2013-04-03 06:32:28 PM thively one of my residents told me that she recently read a study which said that exercise is more effective in keeping the brain active than all those mind games/activities... not sure how much I would believe that though. It seems like if Alz is strictly connected to a gene, it won't be prevented either way
2013-04-03 06:32:30 PM jfaines0909 Do you think there has always alot of people with Alz but they just thought they were crazy
2013-04-03 06:32:46 PM cchase not so
2013-04-03 06:32:59 PM brenda1945 THat is probably more true than not.
2013-04-03 06:33:11 PM cchase exercise AND brain exercise together - physical and mental
2013-04-03 06:33:15 PM kmcooley They used to just lock people up in asylums...
2013-04-03 06:33:26 PM cchase they were consider senile
2013-04-03 06:33:36 PM brenda1945 cchase that is what we can do to help them.....
2013-04-03 06:33:47 PM cchase right
2013-04-03 06:33:54 PM jfaines0909 Oh...I feel like I'm going senile...lol....sometimes my residents are quicker than I am
2013-04-03 06:33:56 PM cchase why your job is so very important
2013-04-03 06:34:07 PM thively agreed
2013-04-03 06:34:09 PM cchase (lol)
2013-04-03 06:34:15 PM brenda1945 Exactly, talk about making a difference
2013-04-03 06:34:25 PM cchase let them be - they will love you for it!
2013-04-03 06:34:47 PM cathymayle Alzheimers Organization states that strategies for overall health in aging includes eating a healthy diet, staying socially active, avoiding tobacco and excess alcohol, and exercising both body and mind
2013-04-03 06:35:11 PM mayamoo3 I have to go. Thanks for the information!!
2013-04-03 06:35:12 PM thively and that all makes perfect sense to me!
2013-04-03 06:35:13 PM cchase your onto something
2013-04-03 06:35:13 PM jfaines0909 Can you get special training in Alz activity planning? Certification?
2013-04-03 06:35:43 PM brenda1945 Exactly, I agree, we can see what happens, soooooo maybe we can slow it down.
2013-04-03 06:35:50 PM cathymayle It states some of the strongest evidence links brain health to heart health
2013-04-03 06:35:58 PM lfrancois yes you can thru Alz. Org.
2013-04-03 06:36:11 PM jfaines0909 thanks lfrancois
2013-04-03 06:36:15 PM mayamoo3 left the chat room
2013-04-03 06:36:41 PM cchase the Alz association offers 101 thing to do with those who have Alzh

2013-04-03 06:37:06 PM jfaines0909 Yes I think I have seen that before.
2013-04-03 06:37:09 PM thively you know what drives me the craziest pertaining to residents with Alzheimers? The way that some people interact with them....
2013-04-03 06:37:10 PM cchase you can also get certified in Alz care
2013-04-03 06:37:11 PM brenda1945 Treating the Resident with dignity and respect, letting them be who they ae. I am so surprised sometimes.. I will access the website, thanks
2013-04-03 06:37:35 PM kmcooley Any suggestions for a facility where the Alz/dementia residents are all together with the other residents icluding rehab?

2013-04-03 06:37:49 PM cchase it will be an inital four hour class
2013-04-03 06:37:56 PM thively I can't stand seeing someone telling a resident who thinks their sister is meeting her later that in fact her sister is long dead....
2013-04-03 06:38:00 PM kmcooley Is it offered online?
2013-04-03 06:38:07 PM cchase with two more four hour sessions
2013-04-03 06:38:08 PM lfrancois you should come to Tx cchase
2013-04-03 06:38:18 PM jfaines0909 You need to enter thier reality.
2013-04-03 06:38:24 PM brenda1945 I am interested, I am in Texas
2013-04-03 06:38:25 PM horton Certified Alz Care...wow. I am interested in that....
2013-04-03 06:38:28 PM cchase wait one minute
2013-04-03 06:38:38 PM cathymayle It states that experts believe that eceryday sources of aluminum don't pose any threat
