2020-10-06 06:39:34 PM dholmes86 long/short term memory loss
2020-10-06 06:39:36 PM thomasodougherty You're all correct, for the most part. Most of those things can occur, but generally, they are very minor.
2020-10-06 06:39:37 PM diamondreed *not
2020-10-06 06:39:49 PM jacquelinediego sarahwms sorry to hear that
2020-10-06 06:39:58 PM sarahwms thanks!
2020-10-06 06:40:11 PM thomasodougherty It isn't until they move on the the Mid Stage of Dementia that thos symptoms like poor judgement really take hold.
2020-10-06 06:40:11 PM sarahwms sometimes she would remember, other times, not
2020-10-06 06:40:39 PM thomasodougherty It is in this stage that one may also begin struggling with completing their ADLs.
2020-10-06 06:40:47 PM tinacognato emotions like frustration,anger or sadness will occur when people realize this is happening
2020-10-06 06:40:58 PM perrylori so minor that usually family does not notice. it takes an outsider to see it.
2020-10-06 06:41:04 PM thomasodougherty Absolutely Tina!
2020-10-06 06:41:04 PM jacquelinediego they forget to do the baqsic sometimeslike brushing your teeth
2020-10-06 06:41:17 PM thomasodougherty Certainly Jacqueline!
2020-10-06 06:41:30 PM michelled So for mid stage they cant remember recent events
2020-10-06 06:41:31 PM bobbieduke enter the chat room
2020-10-06 06:41:59 PM thomasodougherty Then we move on to the Later Stages where all of these symptoms are even more severe.
2020-10-06 06:42:19 PM karenb It is sad to watch the decline.
2020-10-06 06:42:23 PM thomasodougherty It is in this stage that one becomes unable to care for themselves any longer and require significant care.
2020-10-06 06:42:38 PM perrylori now they are usually remembering way back in their day. long term is there no short term at all
2020-10-06 06:42:44 PM smithtammyl yes
2020-10-06 06:42:48 PM ahicks unable to toliet walk talk feed themselves ect
2020-10-06 06:42:54 PM jacquelinediego i dont think that is stage one
2020-10-06 06:43:03 PM sarahwms kind of like reverting backwards in age....they are first like 20-30's (high sexuality, etc), then teen years, then middle school, then toddler
2020-10-06 06:43:16 PM dholmes86 yes sarah
2020-10-06 06:43:21 PM karenb I have a resident that can't remember a single event in the past 60 years but remembers school like she is still in it.
2020-10-06 06:43:22 PM rpennino I've thought the same thing Sarah! Some of my residents act more like teenagers than anything
2020-10-06 06:43:42 PM thomasodougherty That can certainly occur, Sarah. However, will all those who live through dementia the same?
2020-10-06 06:43:45 PM perrylori cause that is where there mind is.
2020-10-06 06:43:51 PM sarahwms nope...
2020-10-06 06:43:52 PM thomasodougherty *progress the same?
2020-10-06 06:43:53 PM dholmes86 no
2020-10-06 06:43:56 PM sarahwms that would be too easy!

2020-10-06 06:44:05 PM tinacognato all people may have similar underlying issues, but everyone is affected differently
2020-10-06 06:44:05 PM diamondreed not at all
2020-10-06 06:44:07 PM roodnad yesv Karenb i have a resident like that too
2020-10-06 06:44:11 PM perrylori no everyone develops differently
2020-10-06 06:44:11 PM rpennino everyone is very different, and it also seems to vary depending on other health issues
2020-10-06 06:44:13 PM thomasodougherty Well put Tina.
2020-10-06 06:44:19 PM tinacognato ty
2020-10-06 06:44:20 PM jacquelinediego yes tina
2020-10-06 06:44:27 PM sarahwms we were taught that dementia starts at a level 4 and progress to a level 7
2020-10-06 06:44:39 PM taherrens No. It effects everyone differently
2020-10-06 06:45:07 PM thomasodougherty Everyone will not only have a different path through dementia. But, like Sarah just eluded to, they will also progress through the different stages at different rates.
2020-10-06 06:45:13 PM tinacognato some may be able not be ablee to talk and some cant stop talking

2020-10-06 06:46:27 PM karenb most severe
2020-10-06 06:46:32 PM perrylori levels 1-4 isnt it
2020-10-06 06:46:34 PM ahicks like seven stages??
2020-10-06 06:46:48 PM smithtammyl thats what i thought
2020-10-06 06:46:56 PM smithtammyl 4 stages
2020-10-06 06:47:02 PM sarahwms when we did our dementia training, we were taught that it starts at a level 4 (first stage of dementia) and can progress to a level 7
2020-10-06 06:47:12 PM thomasodougherty Ah, yes. Personally, I use 3 stages.
2020-10-06 06:47:19 PM sarahwms not sure what happened to 1-3....???
2020-10-06 06:47:32 PM smithtammyl good to know
2020-10-06 06:47:32 PM dholmes86 1-3

2020-10-06 06:47:42 PM thomasodougherty Early, Mid, Late. Of course, I'm sure one could grade them through any number of stages.
2020-10-06 06:47:48 PM tinacognato two different schools of thought 3 or 7
2020-10-06 06:47:57 PM diamondreed Yes, i was taught 3 stages mild, moderate and severe.
2020-10-06 06:48:02 PM smithtammyl intersting
2020-10-06 06:48:04 PM tinacognato im assuming 7is just more specific
2020-10-06 06:48:10 PM perrylori yes your right
2020-10-06 06:48:11 PM thomasodougherty The important take away here isn't so much the number of stages, as much as, dementia is not a common part of aging.
2020-10-06 06:48:15 PM miguele Hi Dianod
2020-10-06 06:48:17 PM tinacognato but again, not everyone fits each mold

2020-10-06 06:48:39 PM jacquelinediego depression is
2020-10-06 06:48:55 PM thomasodougherty However, it remains important for us to be aware of the symptoms and effects as we all will likely be exposed to any number of individuals who do have dementia for one reason or another.
2020-10-06 06:49:13 PM smithtammyl what hurts is when they don ot remember their loved ones
