2015-10-28 06:15:30 PM nancyzmc I read somewhere - to comfort families, I guess - is that their loved one remembers them, they just don't recognize them at that moment in time because the resident is in a different time frame in their mind
2015-10-28 06:15:32 PM cchase no medicines can repair
2015-10-28 06:15:36 PM sthorpe67 what about early preventin?

2015-10-28 06:15:37 PM katieok11 there are some meds that work better than others
2015-10-28 06:15:51 PM carolk9 Theres a man that has a job assignment to change the date on the calendar and you can show him the correct date to put up there and then in a split second he may change it to next week or the day before.

2015-10-28 06:16:01 PM mliranzo94 but for some people it goes too fast. some people decline so quickly its so sad
2015-10-28 06:16:10 PM tinab what works best is loving them where they are...because it will change too fast!
2015-10-28 06:16:14 PM sherrij Residents will see photos of themselves and think it is their mom
2015-10-28 06:16:22 PM sthorpe67 is it herediatary?
2015-10-28 06:16:22 PM laurenmb the patch works great for the residents I have
2015-10-28 06:16:38 PM roses Ther are Rx now that can slow down the progression if its caught early and the patient response well.
2015-10-28 06:16:47 PM katieok11 and all residents need to be visited by family. They all need love even though it can be frusrating and heart breaking for the family members
2015-10-28 06:16:49 PM edrar we have one lady that came a year ago, she just started to get worse the past few months. She tells us she has just come to the home yesterday.

2015-10-28 06:17:06 PM maryc2 the part of the brain is affected first
2015-10-28 06:17:07 PM cchase family history of it increases the risk of onset of the disease
2015-10-28 06:17:11 PM tinab they think some is hereditary and some bad luck
2015-10-28 06:17:16 PM katieok11 i have so many wives who come see their husbands every day and sit with them all day
2015-10-28 06:17:28 PM cchase you would more likely get it if your parents had it
2015-10-28 06:17:35 PM katieok11 they have formed a group so they lean on each other for suppoort

2015-10-28 06:17:54 PM nancyzmc As the disease progresses, new memories cannot be stored because the the disease is causing damage to the brain
2015-10-28 06:18:00 PM cchase no filters with frontal lobe
2015-10-28 06:18:01 PM sthorpe67 support groups must be invaluable!

2015-10-28 06:19:20 PM sthorpe67 it must be hard to think of having this at a younger age, just being forgetful doesnt mean the worse, or does it
2015-10-28 06:19:26 PM cchase I just admitted a tall handsome 49 year old pt.
2015-10-28 06:19:29 PM nancyzmc When my Grandmother had it, they were blaming it on the Aluminum pots and pans
2015-10-28 06:19:31 PM katiespethman I wish our home was more like that. But we do have familys that come very often i think that help alot even though they dont think it does

2015-10-28 06:20:31 PM sthorpe67 it seems very important for the families to be given good information and links to support groups
2015-10-28 06:20:45 PM edrar when you are first diagnosed would have to be very hard, knowing what was going to happen to you
2015-10-28 06:20:49 PM katieok11 would you guys rather know or not know that you have early alzheimer's
2015-10-28 06:20:51 PM laurenmb whats the best website for support?
2015-10-28 06:20:52 PM nancyzmc Good question Samuelp
2015-10-28 06:20:54 PM roses Yes, aluminum food items are contributor according to research. I did a special research project in Psych class on the very subject
2015-10-28 06:21:01 PM jamiet1 not know
2015-10-28 06:21:01 PM eriksh7 Alzheimer's disease prevents part's of the cell factory from running well. Not sure where it forms or trouble starts; but backups and breakdowns in one system cause problems in other areas .. cells become damagaed and lose their ability to function causing short term memory loss, etc ..
2015-10-28 06:21:06 PM cchase tell me about redirection - do you all know what that is and how to use it??

2015-10-28 06:21:34 PM sthorpe67 and aluminum is fond in most deordorants too
2015-10-28 06:21:40 PM maryc2 we have some families but most of the residends they do not have anybody is so sad. it is going so fast i saw so many of my residents change status very fast
2015-10-28 06:21:43 PM katieok11 redirection. if a fresident wants to see their mom don't say she is dead
2015-10-28 06:21:48 PM edrar I use redirection all of the time with some of our residents.
2015-10-28 06:21:49 PM katieok11 ask her why
2015-10-28 06:21:50 PM barbb redirection is basically changing the subject, their focus
2015-10-28 06:22:01 PM roses Id want to know so I could do as much as possible to slow it or halt progression if possible
2015-10-28 06:22:02 PM katieok11 or distract her while still validating her
2015-10-28 06:22:04 PM jamiet1 sometime you have to redirect them from safety issues and you try to get them to do something else
2015-10-28 06:22:13 PM sthorpe67 I would want to know
2015-10-28 06:22:15 PM kandra1 I agree with Barb
2015-10-28 06:22:15 PM stevi32 enter the chat room
2015-10-28 06:22:17 PM tinab It is all about talking to them and they forget what they were thinking and you guide them to something else
2015-10-28 06:22:22 PM carolk9 oh I see
2015-10-28 06:22:28 PM edrar no she is at work, or church or will be there after dinner or whatever you can say to redirect her thinking

2015-10-28 06:22:34 PM tiffanyo I have this lady who only gets anger at sundown. Sundowners Syndrome
2015-10-28 06:22:36 PM maryc2 that is young
2015-10-28 06:22:39 PM eriksh7 If a resident is very agitated and is trying to leave, you can apply redirection by asking soem different questions for the resident to answer -- a distraction
2015-10-28 06:22:53 PM laurenmb sometimes delying works too, like if they want to go out, say ok, but why not after lunch.... or whatever
2015-10-28 06:22:55 PM katieok11 Many of my residents have sundowners syndrome
2015-10-28 06:22:56 PM roses Yes, avoid commercial deoderant.
2015-10-28 06:22:57 PM mliranzo94 oh i do that all the time
2015-10-28 06:23:05 PM sthorpe67 I have heard of sundowners, is that a different phase?
2015-10-28 06:23:07 PM laurenmb sundowners???
2015-10-28 06:23:10 PM nancyzmc Activities can be a distraction - redirection
2015-10-28 06:23:10 PM jamiet1 asking why and how can you help them
2015-10-28 06:23:16 PM stevi32 Going to get a coffee is one of main go tos when redirecting a resident
2015-10-28 06:23:19 PM kandra1 Why do they get more confused in the evening
2015-10-28 06:23:19 PM katieok11 thats when the sun goes down
2015-10-28 06:23:26 PM katieok11 ppl tend to get more agitated
2015-10-28 06:23:29 PM rhigh our lady just came and she is making it hard for every body
2015-10-28 06:23:41 PM tiffanyo Its when their agitation start at sun down
2015-10-28 06:23:47 PM peggyn64 just walking the hallways hrelp too
2015-10-28 06:23:50 PM edrar i can redirect one lady by asking her if she wants a cup of coffee, she gets so happy
2015-10-28 06:23:57 PM nancyzmc Doesn't help that it's also change of shifts
2015-10-28 06:24:03 PM mliranzo94 aww thats cute
2015-10-28 06:24:04 PM katieok11 some ppl its very easy to re-direct
2015-10-28 06:24:05 PM sthorpe67 and maybe they dont even know its sundown, yet they begin to have episode
2015-10-28 06:24:06 PM sherrij It takes a lot of patience when they get irritated
2015-10-28 06:24:12 PM tinab exactly...they are more likely to be looking for their kids coming home from school or husband coming home from work around sundown
2015-10-28 06:24:15 PM katieok11 others not so much. especially with behavior problems
2015-10-28 06:24:23 PM adamreese we have one lady who can alter the whole activity
2015-10-28 06:24:29 PM eriksh7 Sundowning is such a phenomenon ... I have a resident becomes agitated everyday around 4:30-5:00
2015-10-28 06:24:34 PM jamiet1 I have one with sun downers and she gets really confussed in the evening and wants to spend 3 hours in the bathroom getting bathed
2015-10-28 06:24:36 PM edrar yes i have one that is waithing for her husband to getr home from work
2015-10-28 06:24:42 PM nancyzmc We have that too Adamreese
2015-10-28 06:24:46 PM mliranzo94 oh yes i know and they start to hit and stuff it can be scarey
2015-10-28 06:24:49 PM nancyzmc All it takes is one!
2015-10-28 06:24:52 PM edrar sorry about misspells, just trying to hurry
2015-10-28 06:24:54 PM sthorpe67 so having certain activities for them during these times of shift changing and sundown would be helpful
2015-10-28 06:24:54 PM katieok11 i wonder if "sun downing" is less common in the summer when it is lighter longer?
2015-10-28 06:25:03 PM laurenmb I have one lady who has completely changed day for night and vice versa
2015-10-28 06:25:07 PM maryc2 no i do not know
2015-10-28 06:25:19 PM samuelp isnt there a way to address altz residents called realism that means you basically are brutally honest with them, i wonder if this works or is counter productive..
2015-10-28 06:25:23 PM eriksh7 absolutelu sthorpe67 ... nice call
2015-10-28 06:25:25 PM cchase they still sundown but the longer day delays onset
2015-10-28 06:25:26 PM rhigh sun downing and weather change
2015-10-28 06:25:27 PM nancyzmc It can be helpful sthorpe
2015-10-28 06:25:44 PM edrar its mean,if you ask me
2015-10-28 06:25:47 PM stevi32 you cant be totally honest with a resident with alzs
2015-10-28 06:26:04 PM jamiet1 you can always tell when it's full moon too
2015-10-28 06:26:05 PM rhigh i agree
2015-10-28 06:26:05 PM samuelp can you lie?
2015-10-28 06:26:05 PM stevi32 Does not work
2015-10-28 06:26:11 PM edrar yes you can
2015-10-28 06:26:18 PM cchase samuel - that's reality orientation and that's no longer used as it cause much uneeded distress
2015-10-28 06:26:19 PM stevi32 I as trained to go with the flow
2015-10-28 06:26:20 PM tiffanyo You have to lie

2015-10-28 06:26:33 PM samuelp ok thank you
2015-10-28 06:26:34 PM katieok11 you would think it would become a pattern even if the sun was out bc they "sundown" at the same time for months in the winter
2015-10-28 06:26:34 PM edrar yes you can to tell when the moon is full.
2015-10-28 06:26:37 PM stevi32 What ever world they are in you put yourself in

2015-10-28 06:26:45 PM nancyzmc enter the chat room
2015-10-28 06:26:58 PM cchase so long as it is used to ensure safety
2015-10-28 06:26:59 PM katiespethman It seems like a chain reaction at our home as soon as one starts the others follow and yes you must have a very patient aid to deal with them all at once.
2015-10-28 06:27:05 PM barbb I love therapeutic fiblets-awesome!
2015-10-28 06:27:18 PM laurenmb Good term

2015-10-28 06:27:42 PM mliranzo94 im sorry but what is therapeutic fiblets
2015-10-28 06:27:43 PM nancyzmc It would get pretty ugly without therapeutic fibllets
2015-10-28 06:27:46 PM maryc2 oh yes most of my residents have sundown syndrome they want to go home
2015-10-28 06:27:58 PM katieok11 it's when you lie to them to make them feel better
2015-10-28 06:28:00 PM roses Nice term: Therapudic fiblets
2015-10-28 06:28:12 PM mliranzo94 oh okay lols
2015-10-28 06:28:14 PM jamiet1 it make a lie sound more professional
2015-10-28 06:28:20 PM katieok11 like if someone wanted to see their mom, you can say you will see her later
2015-10-28 06:28:27 PM tiffanyo Lies always make them feel better
2015-10-28 06:28:29 PM cchase sort of a nice way to explain a fabricated story 8-|
2015-10-28 06:28:48 PM stevi32 I never thought it would be in my job titlte to lie but thats what I do most of the day
2015-10-28 06:28:56 PM mliranzo94 oh okay thanks
2015-10-28 06:28:58 PM roses Just go along with it ...go with the flow
2015-10-28 06:29:02 PM mliranzo94 '
2015-10-28 06:29:05 PM edrar it would be hurt all over for them if you told them their husband waas dead
2015-10-28 06:29:18 PM laurenmb its not really lying.... is redirecting
2015-10-28 06:29:22 PM sthorpe67 its a way of helping them
2015-10-28 06:29:23 PM stevi32 What are you supposeed to say when a 93 yr old woman asks you where her mom is? Much better to say she ran to the store then shes passed away
2015-10-28 06:29:25 PM barbb going along with them is more compassionate
2015-10-28 06:29:29 PM eriksh7 yes edrar. agreed
2015-10-28 06:29:30 PM tiffanyo If they think that there husband is only out to the store they have something to hold on to.
2015-10-28 06:29:30 PM mliranzo94 thats true
2015-10-28 06:29:32 PM rhigh that is so sad
2015-10-28 06:29:33 PM katieok11 you should acknowledge and validate them but at the same time re-direct
2015-10-28 06:29:46 PM katiespethman Absolutly on the full moon and lying all day. its very perplexing.
2015-10-28 06:29:55 PM samuelp you may not actually have to lie so much
2015-10-28 06:30:01 PM sthorpe67 emotionally exhausting
2015-10-28 06:30:08 PM rhigh some times redirect does not work
2015-10-28 06:30:13 PM edrar Alot of times i have to tell them their family member will be here after dinner. that settles them down and they forget before dinner.
2015-10-28 06:30:18 PM adamreese today was rough full moon
2015-10-28 06:30:22 PM tinab you can ask them about the persomn they are asking for, empthize with them
2015-10-28 06:30:25 PM sandyd Full moon is always interesting to say the least
2015-10-28 06:30:27 PM jamiet1 not always I agree
2015-10-28 06:30:27 PM stevi32 Thats constant for me to
2015-10-28 06:30:41 PM katieok11 Is it ever okay to ask them a question. when they ask where their mom is you can say "where do you thinki she is"?
2015-10-28 06:30:42 PM stevi32 always sayig their family will be there after lunch
2015-10-28 06:30:51 PM eriksh7 A Full moon is rough for all of us! lol
2015-10-28 06:30:51 PM nancyzmc true- sometimes redirect does not work - hopefully they can safely calm independently
2015-10-28 06:31:10 PM tiffanyo All the time and they look forward to them coming after dinner
2015-10-28 06:31:10 PM katieok11 to explore what they are thinking?
2015-10-28 06:31:19 PM samuelp right answer with a question
2015-10-28 06:31:20 PM sthorpe67 are there links that share about redirecting?
2015-10-28 06:31:21 PM stevi32 When she asks about her shes worried and concerned, asking her questions would only agitate her further
2015-10-28 06:31:24 PM rhigh we haverough days on fgull moon days
2015-10-28 06:31:25 PM sherrij Sometimes you have to give them a baby doll or something to hold in their hands to keep them busy
2015-10-28 06:31:28 PM mliranzo94 yes there is a resident who is always trying to leaving and he says that he has to go to work, so i walk him in my office and tell him that hes late to work and i have him go tho papers with none informations or magazines its so cute

2015-10-28 06:31:53 PM barbb sometimes a certain staff can intervene-some people have a better repport w/ certain residents
2015-10-28 06:31:55 PM tinab I have one that I hand a doll too when she gets very distressed
2015-10-28 06:31:55 PM eriksh7 amazing mliranzo94
2015-10-28 06:31:56 PM edrar whats hard is when one resident gets mad at another because she doesn't remember how to pl;ay a game or something, but the other resident doesn't either.
2015-10-28 06:32:00 PM roses Yes, start getting details about the person they are focused on. It helps them talk about something and gets their mind off where the person is. They usually enjoy talking about people who are important to them. Its nice to have an audience

2015-10-28 06:32:09 PM nancyzmc That's good - using his career as a redirection
2015-10-28 06:32:18 PM maryc2 what is therapeutic fiblets
2015-10-28 06:32:23 PM katiespethman Usually does not help. they still believe their mother is around and it is easier to make something up, unfortunatly
2015-10-28 06:32:31 PM katieok11 thanks roses!
2015-10-28 06:32:31 PM jamiet1 we have one of those that reports to work everyday
2015-10-28 06:32:32 PM nancyzmc Compassionate lies
2015-10-28 06:32:33 PM sandyd Some residents will have on their mind, that the family is coming to eat with them, will not eat till they get there, we tell them to go ahead and eat, and they will be along later
2015-10-28 06:32:36 PM peggyn64 enter the chat room
2015-10-28 06:32:39 PM mliranzo94 yes but it doesnt last long maybe 30 mins and then we back at it again
2015-10-28 06:32:39 PM stevi32 We do phone calls a lot. We have a staff member call and act like the family member they are looking for
2015-10-28 06:32:43 PM tinab try havving someone with alzheimers teach someone to play skipbo...so fun
2015-10-28 06:33:02 PM katieok11 we have a resident who does her "paperwork" in the nurses station by signing her name on paper
2015-10-28 06:33:07 PM jamie enter the chat room
2015-10-28 06:33:09 PM stevi32 saves the family a little bit of emotional distress when they only get 1 phone call a day opposed to 10

2015-10-28 06:35:38 PM roses We need to be creative in managing because alot of extra calls really distresses the family and makes them feel like their loved one is very unhappy and we dont know what were doing.
