2014-08-27 06:10:57 PM sheminger we have a resident that we have to help hold him down to give him shots cause he will freak out and start swinging on us
2014-08-27 06:11:34 PM slim9 she is having probles expressing her needs, she will strip down to a tee shirt at times and when we try to redirect her she becomescombative, so in order to reduce irritation we just "wait her out"
2014-08-27 06:11:35 PM carriesl just stepped in but we have doors with alarms to alert the staff if any one goes out that has a braclet
2014-08-27 06:11:45 PM sarahe It's part of the senior living community. In the main building they have apartments, community DR, some med. assistance and lots of activities. There are also patio homes and villas where other independent residents come from to main independent living building to eat and participate in activities. Stepping stones: first independent, then assisted then skilled nursing.

2014-08-27 06:24:26 PM cchase okay so with Alzheimer's the brain no longer is able to file it away
2014-08-27 06:24:43 PM vickis lol but it sounds logical
2014-08-27 06:24:55 PM slim9 because?
2014-08-27 06:25:00 PM cchase almost fifteen years before visible problems
2014-08-27 06:25:05 PM nijah so are all the documents left floating arround
2014-08-27 06:25:20 PM cchase the brain is declining and can't file anymore
2014-08-27 06:25:23 PM nijah with no place to go
2014-08-27 06:25:32 PM slim9 err go the confusion and wandering
2014-08-27 06:25:40 PM mariasweet got it
2014-08-27 06:25:55 PM cchase the plaques and tangles - called tau build up and prevent the file from going where it needs to go
2014-08-27 06:26:05 PM vickis do you think there is a way to prolong it? the brain alert?
2014-08-27 06:26:27 PM cchase we know that isolation will asselerate it.
2014-08-27 06:26:30 PM carolynlnig enter the chat room
2014-08-27 06:26:30 PM carriesl they say brain exercise like memory games

2014-08-27 06:27:04 PM carolynlnig Hi, and thanks for your greeting!
2014-08-27 06:27:08 PM vickis so staying active actually helps the brain?
2014-08-27 06:27:09 PM cchase safed before the onset of the disease
2014-08-27 06:27:10 PM slim9 so too much stimulation just adds to the confusion, the get angry because they cannot process what they being asked to do ...so they shut done
2014-08-27 06:27:32 PM nijah wow
2014-08-27 06:27:34 PM cchase somewhat correct - overstimulation is not good
2014-08-27 06:27:38 PM mariasweet I agree slim9
2014-08-27 06:27:44 PM sarahe What are the differences between alzheimer's and dementia?
2014-08-27 06:27:51 PM vickis that isn why they like repetition
2014-08-27 06:28:04 PM cchase memory filed before onset are retreivable
2014-08-27 06:28:10 PM cchase up to a point
2014-08-27 06:28:17 PM nijah ok
2014-08-27 06:28:22 PM vickis like folding the same small towel over and over again
2014-08-27 06:28:27 PM cchase meanwhile short term memory it the problem
2014-08-27 06:28:42 PM cchase how does what I just described r/t short term memory?
2014-08-27 06:28:44 PM carolynlnig Is it known what makes some Alzheimers more aggressive than others?
2014-08-27 06:29:08 PM cchase can anyone tell me??
2014-08-27 06:29:28 PM nijah they can not contain short term memory
2014-08-27 06:29:34 PM slim9 r/t ?
2014-08-27 06:29:36 PM cchase why so?
2014-08-27 06:29:37 PM mariasweet they really don't retain the information
2014-08-27 06:29:44 PM cchase r/t means related to
2014-08-27 06:29:50 PM vickis it effects the brain in both ways
2014-08-27 06:29:51 PM slim9 duh
2014-08-27 06:30:04 PM vickis (y)
2014-08-27 06:30:04 PM cchase (lol)
2014-08-27 06:30:07 PM carriesl i agree they dont retain short term?
2014-08-27 06:30:14 PM cchase why??
2014-08-27 06:30:15 PM nijah because that function does not work anymore
2014-08-27 06:30:27 PM cchase think about the file in a computer
2014-08-27 06:30:32 PM carriesl the desease is already set in?
2014-08-27 06:30:33 PM mariasweet Because the brain can't process it
2014-08-27 06:30:43 PM cchase yes - carrie
2014-08-27 06:30:53 PM vickis yes, makes sense
2014-08-27 06:31:05 PM cchase the disease prevents the recent memory from getting filed
2014-08-27 06:31:15 PM carriesl ok
2014-08-27 06:31:20 PM nijah oh ok
2014-08-27 06:31:30 PM cchase the old memories where there before onset the new ones can't get filed anymore
2014-08-27 06:31:31 PM slim9 short term; if I give them a directive and 5min. later their still sitting there because they cant remember what i told them
2014-08-27 06:31:43 PM cchase thus short term memory is the first to be affected
2014-08-27 06:32:00 PM cchase yes correct
2014-08-27 06:32:06 PM vickis the confusion sets in
2014-08-27 06:32:17 PM vickis both ways
2014-08-27 06:32:23 PM carolynlnig then sometimes anger or frustration
2014-08-27 06:32:26 PM cchase so do not get fustrated as they really cannot retain what you tell
2014-08-27 06:32:55 PM carriesl that makes sence!
2014-08-27 06:32:56 PM slim9 is this why some people are still looking for there parents in the present
2014-08-27 06:33:00 PM vickis thus comes the regression of them being children
2014-08-27 06:33:15 PM cchase would you not get angry when you ask someone a question and they won't repeat the answer??
2014-08-27 06:33:16 PM carolynlnig The constant repetition of the same question is typical
2014-08-27 06:33:28 PM nijah yes
2014-08-27 06:33:30 PM sarahe I had one resident who thought she was in a different decade or at a significantly different age every 30 minutes or so. She would bounce from being a teenager looking for her mom to working in a weapons factory during world war 2 when her her husband was across seas. What causes all this "jumping"?
2014-08-27 06:33:32 PM cchase makes you feel a little fustrated
2014-08-27 06:33:49 PM vickis or even repetition of the same words over and over
2014-08-27 06:34:06 PM mariasweet yeah sometimes
2014-08-27 06:34:12 PM cchase she was living in the past. accessing long term memory as if they were current
2014-08-27 06:34:31 PM cchase b/c she has no current memory
2014-08-27 06:34:40 PM nijah wow
2014-08-27 06:34:41 PM slim9 wow
2014-08-27 06:34:46 PM carolynlnig So, is the long term memory not chronological?
2014-08-27 06:34:47 PM slim9 jinx
2014-08-27 06:34:52 PM cchase now you all get it!!!!!!
2014-08-27 06:34:58 PM nijah lol
2014-08-27 06:34:58 PM carriesl living in the past as what she knows it
2014-08-27 06:35:01 PM carriesl yes
2014-08-27 06:35:11 PM vickis (y)
2014-08-27 06:35:16 PM cchase so sad but so true
2014-08-27 06:35:23 PM cchase good going guys
2014-08-27 06:35:48 PM cchase how does this information help you going forward??
2014-08-27 06:36:04 PM vickis yes its sad but true, but rewarding when you can make them even slightly happy
2014-08-27 06:36:05 PM slim9 so their not the ones with the problem we are.....we're not on the same page with them
2014-08-27 06:36:24 PM nijah it makes you have more compassion for those that have to live with this disease
2014-08-27 06:36:24 PM cchase perfect so good
2014-08-27 06:36:28 PM cchase yes yes
2014-08-27 06:36:28 PM vickis love it
2014-08-27 06:36:34 PM sarahe It helps me be even more empathetic than I already am
2014-08-27 06:36:38 PM cchase they will not change - we need to change
2014-08-27 06:36:39 PM carolynlnig If you havea group of people in early stages of memory loss, they repeat the same story over and over, but the other people don't remember that they are repeating it over and over. It is new to them again

2014-08-27 06:43:45 PM slim9 I just set up a "nurturing corner". many of our residents treat the others as their children, so I placed a basinet next to a rocking chair with swaddled little-ones (dolls) and music...it appears to be calming and eliminating the behavior of dragging each other up and down the halls
2014-08-27 06:44:02 PM carolynlnig engage them in a simple activity and clapping/knee slapping and hum or sing a tune

2014-08-27 06:44:36 PM sarahe When they think that you are their co-worker or classmate, what's happening in their mind that they view/perceive you to be different people they've known from their past?

2014-08-27 06:46:47 PM sarahe Is it a feeling they have or is their vision/perception altered in some way thet makes us look like those people?
2014-08-27 06:46:59 PM carriesl could be slim9
2014-08-27 06:47:06 PM carolynlnig When reminiscing in a small group, the experiences of the others prompts memories of their past they forgot long ago
