My mom had a good one for a particular patient years ago. The patient always wanted to go home because her dad would be angry of she was late. My mom would tell her that her dad called, and asked if she could stay the night because a BIG storm was coming and it wasnt safe to leave
If only if it was really this easy
Because it’s definitely not😩😢
@@KirbyHighClassof2015 unfortunately
Nope
My 96 yo MIL is doing this, constantly talking about going home. She’s in an assisted living facility and has twice cut-off her wrist alarm. We’re moving her to the facility’s memory care unit which is more secure.
god damn bro wants out
It just aggravated her even more, threw a tantrum and got combative until my dad yelled back at her. She never yelled at him again.
I am happy I found all these videos.I really need this and all the posts .It’s my mother in law that I never connected, she never liked me, she always believed I took advantage of his young son 30 years ago 😅. She is with us all of a sudden 3 weeks ago because she got evicted and the sons realized she has dementia.
“ ...distraction/changing the subject is key here!” 👍🏻
*Thank you for your shared suggestions/knowledge!
My relative is not at a wandering stage. But this is very helpful.
Thanks for sharing and showing this information
Love this one x
What do you do if you find someone wandering outside with Alzheimers? It happened to me once. I thankfully got the lady to a nearby elderly home so they could see to it that she was safe while they found where she came from. But even today I feel bad because she said she was going home (and her bag had just a few childs necklaces in it and no kind of id) I told her we were going home and gently lead her to the elderly home. I am not sure it was right but I was so worried about her. She wasn't dressed for the weather and I didn't know her.
I rekon you did the right thing 100% thats awesome work right there. You could of saved her life if she had Alzheimers as she could of got hit by a car. Great work
Big help
My father in law is blind due to a stroke, gradually he has Alzheimer's disease... Sundowning is effecting him.
Unable to understand how to keep him active.. as he is unable to see the light and dark.
My father in law has dimensia, keeps telling the same things loudly calling continuous nonstop, sometimes it's so difficult to handle him, he doesn't agree if his potty has to been clean, he says I didn't do , and he doesn't want to take bath , any suggestions how to handle the situation?
2:15 so wholesome. 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥲🥲🥲
He says caretaker not to touch him, he has oestio arthritis, Dr has told us to be extremely careful
I listen to these videos as I go on walks. I swear, I thought the guy was Van Darkholme
😂😂😂😂 this is so random I love this
In the UK, ‘wandering’ is seemed as a negative and insulting word. The phrase ‘walking with purpose’ is a lot more suitable, because the individual has a purpose to walk to the desired destination - for example the gentlemen wanted to go home. He has a purpose to walk out the door and go ‘home’
Hi can i talk to u ❓
My mother is 95 years old. She loves the money too much till caused her mad with money and lead to have alergy ( coughing, itching and back pain) .
I told her if she doesn’t avoid that money I will not taking care her anymore.
She is so angry /afraid that I will not care with her anymore.
But I still have to. I am so stressed!!
Please help me. I may die before her
Thank you
Money makes the world go around.
Don't leave keys accessible, or purses. Lock the doors. Also have something of jewelry to track them if they do go out
Doesn't work
Does Alzheimer's occur in kids?
Well, it's not just an old person thing. I mean, age is a risk factor, but it's not everything. So I guess it could. But I'm not a doctor by any means. I'm just some random teenage stranger you found on the internet. I know more than the average laykid, but I'm still a laykid. #GoAskADoctor
Alzheimer's hasn't happened in children; however, other, more rare dementias can happen. :-(
the youngest ive heard of is people in their 20s getting a dementia called early onset dementia but even that is very uncommon
My 4 year old daughter has it
Alzheimer’s happens in older people, ur kid might just have memory loss.
Bro is that Larry Omaha lmaoo
Try this when you 14 other patients that are doing the same thing.
To great
I love laughing at these trainings bc in reality they never work...
I've just looked at several in your series and suggest you delete them all and replace with Teepa Snow videos.
God it can’t help that all these modern homes are built like sleek 1920s asylums 🤦🏽♀️
Believe me NOTHING is as easy as all these vids make it seem. And you think it's hard taking care of your OWN mom and dad? At least with our own parents we can relate and empathize and we have a bond with so we would do anything for them. But the moment you have to care for someone else, like a MOTHER IN LAW, oh believe me, you won't have that much patience or even empathy especially if all that old bitch does is aggravating you and your loved ones all fucking day long. When she starts pacing back and forth and shadowing you and mumbling nonsense all the time, sometimes continuously from 3.30pm to 7pm, she keeps going on and on and on .and what do I do that is the most effective way. I lock her up. Tired of her bullshit. I really don't give a shit. Lock her old stinky ass up and finally get some peace. She can die in there for all I care. Would actually be a whole lot better for everybody. and after several hours I will check on her. Left her huff and puff and talk nonsense to herself and enjoy her own nonsense by herself for a few hrs. Exhaust herself out with her own nonsense. That way when I medicate her she falls asleep like a death sleep. Believe me, barracading and locking them up is the only thing that works. I bet I will get backlash but I really don't care because she's not my mom and I really can't relate to someone else's mom who is just 100% trouble. Nothing nice or good about her. She is a total hoarder, her room looks like a dumpster , she is extremely lazy, won't even pick up a piece of item that has fallen and blocked the walkway but would rather just walk over it. Eats eats eats like a pig thats all she knows. Eats all kinds of junk food soda, cakes, pastries, pasta, ice cream, absolutely refuses to eat ANY vegetable or fruit. Extremely lazy and greedy and has an annoying temper , hitting things with her walking cane, walks very fast and well but is too lazy and acts weak because she just wants to lean her weight on a cane. You should see how fast she can run when she needs to go to the bathroom or hears someone open a fizzy soda. Doesn't wash a single dish, doesn't do a single chore. Constantly irritates her son evrryday blabbering nonsense for hours and hours, and this is when he just comes home from work all tired. Just nothing nice about this lazy greedy selfish old witch. Just needs to be locked away and starved to death. Fucking old witch.
Shame man .they are so confused all the time
