2016-02-24 07:48:13 PM sue123 It does make sense.
2016-02-24 07:48:31 PM caitlinm and it's not forcing them to do anything, it's suggesting

2016-02-24 07:51:18 PM jackie26 nice chat times fly
2016-02-24 07:51:20 PM cchase we do not use white.... our doors that we do not want them to enter are the same color as the wall
2016-02-24 07:51:28 PM awatts AMBER5 STIMULATION IS A GREAT TOOL
2016-02-24 07:51:31 PM caitlinm someone created an eating tray especially for alzheimer's patients, every plate, cup, and utensil is red, blue, and so on
2016-02-24 07:51:35 PM caitlinm it's easier to see
2016-02-24 07:51:39 PM cchase the bathrooms doors are brightly colored for attention
2016-02-24 07:51:40 PM summermurphy Have a great night everyone
2016-02-24 07:51:49 PM reneebragg they say white is bad for the toliets too
2016-02-24 07:51:55 PM jackie26 good idea with the colors
2016-02-24 07:52:01 PM belindaf i think its too hard to see
2016-02-24 07:52:03 PM cchase as the disease progresses
2016-02-24 07:52:04 PM patty4 why is white bad?
2016-02-24 07:52:10 PM kgates I had a resident actually want to share her dessert at the Mothers Day tea with another gentlement, she just dipped her fork in the cake and fed it to him. It was adorable but not a good idea, didn't see it until it was too late.
2016-02-24 07:52:16 PM skershaw wish my place would have all the same calm color
2016-02-24 07:52:19 PM reneebragg they have proven why so many fall in the bathroom
2016-02-24 07:52:22 PM cchase they no longer can retrieve long term memory as well
2016-02-24 07:52:26 PM connie47 we use laminated calander pictures of cats, dogs, birds, etc. for our patients to find their OWN room
2016-02-24 07:52:30 PM amber5 Don't wear dark colors or black for a top because residents see a "floating" head and think evil.
2016-02-24 07:52:32 PM awatts NOTHING IN OUR FACILITY IS WHITE
2016-02-24 07:52:49 PM patty4 good to know amber
2016-02-24 07:52:52 PM cchase bathroom toilet should be contrast in color to the background to stand out
2016-02-24 07:52:55 PM amber5 I learned that at my facility.
2016-02-24 07:52:56 PM chiquita8 mine either
2016-02-24 07:52:57 PM awatts EVERYTHING IS CHEERY COLORS
2016-02-24 07:53:05 PM kimj ours either, but not a pretty color either
2016-02-24 07:53:13 PM kgates Yes, that way they can see clearly
2016-02-24 07:53:16 PM cchase not too cheery as that overstimulates
2016-02-24 07:53:17 PM kathym our memory support wing has a door with a fountain on it and vines that go around the fountain and off to the other walls. it really works at redirecting. they are not looking for a door.
2016-02-24 07:53:17 PM reneebragg yes bright colors gets there attention
2016-02-24 07:53:19 PM kimj everything is TAN
2016-02-24 07:53:21 PM amber5 Yes awatts. Bright and cheery colors.
2016-02-24 07:53:21 PM michellep007 I didn't know that Amber, thanks for the information
2016-02-24 07:53:24 PM belindaf the color difference makes sense
2016-02-24 07:53:34 PM pittman08 we use red
2016-02-24 07:53:34 PM reneebragg true not to bright
2016-02-24 07:53:35 PM cchase our lighting is brighter to prevent shadows
2016-02-24 07:53:37 PM jackie26 therapy staff wear black
2016-02-24 07:53:42 PM nancyzmc For your dementia certification - what were you required to do, Ms. Celeste
2016-02-24 07:53:43 PM summermurphy Different colors and set moods
2016-02-24 07:53:44 PM connie47 over stimulating can happen quickly
2016-02-24 07:53:48 PM skershaw kinda like a preschool room... bight colors get them hyped up
2016-02-24 07:53:49 PM awatts ONE OF OUR MEMBERS TOLD US WE SHOULD PAINT A BULLSEYE IN THE TOILET SO THE MEN WOULD MISS THE TOILET HAHA
2016-02-24 07:53:52 PM kimj and lighting
2016-02-24 07:53:56 PM patty4 so it's confusing ... should they have cheery colors or calming colors?
2016-02-24 07:53:58 PM amber5 True cchase, nothing with a lot of color and patterns on clothing.
2016-02-24 07:54:02 PM caitlinm our memory care unit is pretty much beige colors
2016-02-24 07:54:03 PM sue123 I just recently learned about shadows.
2016-02-24 07:54:09 PM pittman08 we use red

2016-02-24 07:54:26 PM summermurphy left the chat room
2016-02-24 07:54:30 PM jackie26 they love butterfly
2016-02-24 07:54:34 PM cchase correct... patterns particularly on the floor are not good
2016-02-24 07:54:38 PM kgates What is the recommended color to wear
2016-02-24 07:54:47 PM jackie26 pastel colors
2016-02-24 07:54:52 PM reneebragg wooden toliet seat works well
2016-02-24 07:54:59 PM chiquita8 ugly beige is our color but it is about to change
2016-02-24 07:55:00 PM kathym we use earthy tones. they are subtle enough not to stun them.
2016-02-24 07:55:03 PM connie47 most patients love dogs and enjoy seeing my schnauzer pictures
2016-02-24 07:55:07 PM awatts OUR WALLS ARE BEIGE AND LIGHT GREEN. WE HAVE PAINTINGS ON EACH WALL
