    My step mum suffered from a brain tumour and several strokes ans seizures that gave her vascular dementia. It was so scary, I was only 12 and tbh I think nowadays we’d be such a good pair. Some nights I really miss her, she was so much and she didn’t deserve to go at 46. I sorta watch these cause even if they’re paid actors it feels nice knowing there are people that recognise it and really care and want the best for those struggling.

    My aunt used to go to the grocery every day prior to her illness because she loved to walk. I'd hook a bookpack onto her wheelchair. We either go to the grocery store or visit McDonald's. We met a few of her neighbors who remembered her walks. She would become alert on our walks. Cold days were the hardest. We listened to the blues and read. We brought her everywhere with us until the end. We even traveled out of state,which was challenging but a memory. We now laugh at how difficult it was to get her out the seat on the plane.

    I don’t agree on keep talking. Sometimes quiet is golden. 16 piece puzzles and pretty calendars to look at works. Teepa Snow has videos and Demention care blazers also.

    I'm a current caregiver and the model patient here is very different from my reality. My patient is taken cared at home with her daughter's family. She is in her late 70's, has good appetite, eyesight and hearing. The problem is her very aggressive behavior. No calming words or approach would make her cool. Bathing is the hardest part or even the simple wash in her toilet routine, undressing/dressing...she's a total nightmare. She yells like she's being beaten, spit on my face or anywhere, biting, swearing...and all these are my daily events with her. When she's with her family in the sala, she won't follow you to the dining to eat, instead she pretends she's not interested and she displays bad behavior in front of everyone. Sometimes my patience would just slip away so I won't approach her. I let her daughter to escort her to the table and there I manage to stay with her until she finishes her food and has taken her medicine. All of the videos I've watched have at least a cooperative patient, still manageable and a lot easier to take care. Mine is never like that. What frustrates me more is that she tells her family that I'm beating her etc. I said to her daughter smilingly that I'm the one she's hurting and they know it anyway. Sometimes I would think that her behavior is on purpose and that she's very aware of what she's doing. If only she's a bit ...just a bit cooperative I could do more for her personal care like giving her a massage, haircut or cutting her nails. But since she's very aggressive, those tools are dangerous. Any other supporting techniques?? Thank you

    I’ve been laced with mind altering substances before, and can attest first hand that any change to your brains normal way of functioning can be an absolutely terrifying and traumatic experience. The light hearted acoustic music is a lie, this is truly terrifying and it’s written on that poor lady’s face, who knows what she’s truly seeing or perceiving but you can tell she feels threatened and uncomfortable. nobody should ever have to live through something like this, and if I’m ever diagnosed with dementia literally the first thing I’m doing is getting a gun so I can leave this earth before the disease makes my reality a horror show.

      this isnt always what people wanna hear, but a nursing home. it sucks having to put your loved one in a strange place thats potentially far away. but sometimes its undoubtedly for the best. i hope your patient/loved one starts to feel more at peace soon

    Very unsure about what is incorrect in the very start of this video.
    Had my severe Traumatic Brain Injury 38 years ago, when my body was 34 years ago. So dementia is very likely for myself.
    Video shows the carer doing self care, for the carer herself. This is very correct and very necessary.
    Currently experiencing dementia attacks now, with moodiness, semi v consciousness, emotional disinhibition, and zombie like periods. This is expected and also very normal.
    Eventually my life will become totally zombie, without periods of clarity, like this time.
    Before my zombie full time stage arrives, the normal step is "Nil By Mouth" for about seven days. This is the extended version used before we visit the dentist, or surgery. Euthanasia, but not yet on the text book "Final Exit".

      @archkull Před 2 lety +3

      It's an unfortunate and depressing truth that many get in this field due to the power they get to have over vulnerable people.
      It's similar with child and other disability care fields. It's why abuse is such a big problem too.

    You might disagree, but how does a loving society not consider euthanasia? If we truly understood what they experienced and perceived, we would rather eternal peace. The only thing saving this video from being tragicly eary is the acoustic guitar backing music.

    nobody deserves to have to live through the end stage of dementia. get as upset as you want, but the most compassionate thing you can do for someone having to “live” through this would be assisted suicide. imagine forgetting everything, including who and what you are. losing every single memory until you’re consciousness is nothing but horrifying all encompassing confusion.

      Yes, but, if I may get existential for a moment, we don’t know what happens in the afterlife, so if it’s just, nothing, I’d want a taste of it before I go there, to know what it’s like.

      I get where you're coming from.
      AFAIK even late stage Alzheimer's patients can have moments of clarity, especially right before death.
      Does that make the overwhelming misery they experience the rest of the time worth it? I don't know.
