I was a U of Colorado women's basketball season tickets holder back in the 90's and early 2000's. Pat Summit was well respected by the fans of CU. When we played Tennessee in pre and post season, watching Pat coach was a true pleasure.
What if u work full time and can't babysit all day and they live with u and they need higher level care and they lose all their important papers and possibly their ID and u get no help all because they don't believe u when u tell them they have dementia and or they blame u for missing items or ure broke and can't afford to pay for higher level care I've heard of all these problems I've heard of all of these things being a problem
My mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease 7 years ago, almost when all hope was lost due to several failed attempts in making her healthy. My desire to see her permanently free drives me into searching the internet for possible solutions which led me to a video about Alzheimer’s disease on RU-vid, I met with a comment on how an herbal doctor used herbs to cured someone of Alzheimer's Dementia. I collected the herbal doctor's contact and reached out to him, we talked about it and he asked few questions about her physical challenges which I answered, and then he prepared the herbal medicine and sent them to me here in Tennessee with prescriptions on how to use attached, I ensured my mom took the herbal medicine accordingly and in 3 weeks of using this medication, we began to see improvement in her health and now, I am so glad to share this testimony that after 8 months, my mom is permanently healed of this horrible disease called Alzheimer, and now she is living her best life. Contact Dr. Rohan via dr.rohanronjohn@gmail.com you will come back for your testimony..
Pat and the Lady Vols are the reason I started watching women's basketball. In 1996 when they beat UGA for the national championship. I became a lady vol fan after that. Rest well coach
Thank you so much; this information is so helpful to me. I am going to be a caregiver to an older man who feels he may be starting to forget things and needs help. I've know this man for 10 years now and he's such a sweet heart. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the elderly and am blessed to have this opportunity to help someone I love.
These are wonderful tips; remaining at home throughout aging, even with a condition such as Alzheimer's, is often a viable option that many don't consider.

It was a great tribute .... Gig'em, I'm an Aggie too... but love the Vols... If I would have gone out of state I was comin' to Knoxville. Always a part of me sings Rocky Top! GO VOLS!
I came here from a call of duty youtuber from there he deleted his channel I came to this, it makes me want to come from here at that time, so heartwarming. 😔😊
Emily Ann Roberts you have no idea how many people you just blessed. Thank God for your talent and the willingness to share it. We are so thankful you a Tennessee Vol
Taking care of people affected by Alzheimer's and dementia requires extra patience, love and understanding. Guides like these could also be of great help.
Don't quit your job to save Mom or Dad. Just say NO, don't through your life away. You will become isolated, your family may support you at first but that only last about a month, the latter even worst, they may accuse you of abusing your parents. I know one care giver that became homeless because the parent fell while the caregiver was away for a few hours, I know of two others that narrowly escaped the same fait. You are not aware of what the future holds, you are not prepared to handle such a situation alone. The care giver is at a much higher risk of depression and suicide. Don't do it! Run for your life, Just leave while you can. Your life is worth living, nothing is worst then caring for a parent that is slowly loses their mind, no one else will see how bad it really is. Sibling will not see the truth of the matter! You may hear, Why did you do that to mom. Mom says you beat her all the time, we need you out, we are calling Adult Protection. Get out NOW ! You are Not SAFE unless your parent moves into your home, yet you will be trapped, you use to have a few friends, but not now, Remember this, you will be alone when you drop Mom off at the Concentration Camp for old people, it will not end peacefully. If you are strong financially, well if you were you would not be considering such a thing.
Money is not the answer just less bad,high end nursing homes are dark also..Caring for someone with Alzheimers is much darker & severely more challenging than I could e v e r have anticipated & is everything & more than you wrote.It will knock you down to size,drain you in every way, feel like your dying on multiple levels in the process & hit the wall at times.I'll take her as far as I possibly can before leaving her in the hands of minimum wage workers,where the bottom line of a way under staffed facility is priority.I've been in many LTC's, all levels of income..They do the best with what they got is the best i can say..I hope she dies @ home or in a hospital first.My life really sucks…bad.. right now & I don't know how I'll be when I come out the other end, I'll surely leave with some damage & I'd do it again.I've considered.."might be better to not be involved" like my family & not see her hideous demise as I'm the only one to see it,in our isolated part of the world,I say our.. it's just mine,she's long gone,they'll remember her from several years ago in the early stages & not the ravaged carcass she has become,not even what relatives she / I have… know.I'd like my "family" to swoop in like vultures @ the end I'll give them what little she has.. I don't want it & less for me to do...oh yea…The Insomnia…Pfff.. as if it wasn't twilight zone enough this guarantees it.
Richard Beasley Richard, one day dementia, disability and old age will happen to you and perhaps YOUR family will think their own needs are far more important than your care. Sadly by then you would have forgotten this dreadful, self-centred advice you are dishing out here. With EDUCATION, HELP and PLANNING - caring for your Mom and Dad when they become unable to look after themselves need NOT be such a dreadful situation as the one you are depicting here. Education about old age, dementia and related illnesses is freely available on line and through organisations in nearly every city throughout the world. There are support groups who give advice and tips and even "baby-sit" for each other when the carer needs some respite. Families must be induced to take equal responsibility for their parents and NOT "run" in the way you advise here. Who are YOU leaving to look after your parents? I bet it will be a sister or female relative who bears that burden alone while you take selfish care of yourself and don't help. Share the load, plan for the future needs and save NOW for the time when you will be facing a lonely and frightening end of life without the ones you raised being around to care for you.
It's been found that caregivers only have a 60 % chance of out living the person receiving the care. Family members are seldom supported in any real way to give the caregiver any releaf. What is help, what is finical support, who is to do the planning, where are these support groups, when dementia sets in who supports the caregiver when they are falsely accused of all manner of thing, what is the caregiver to do when doctors don't see this problem of memory loss and the anger that is often a big part of it. When does the Caregiver to get a break, what time do they get off of work, 5 o'clock 6 or is it like never. What happens when they need a vacation do they just hire a nurse to stay at the home 24 hours a day for a week, how much does that cost? Who pays for that, the demented parent that thinks you are a mense to society because you steal every roll of trolet paper that comes into the house. How do you go to work when the duties of a caregiver is unceasing. House cleaning, grocery trips, doctors apointments, yardwork, constant monitoring if they are in the chair or on the floor. You can't have friends over because the last five were insulted in a dozen or so different ways. Now this is a worst case scenario, however of all the caregivers I know it always digress to be exactly as I have written EXACTLY. Now in Virginia a bill is before the Judiciary to rule that if you abandon your post as a caregiver, regardless if the parent suffers any negative effect should this be felony charge, which carries prison time. If you become a caregiver as it is today you enter into an agreement that is unknowable that can cost you your sanity, your freedom, your selfworth, and any financial stability. Yes mostly women fall into this trap, the emotional attachment to caring for a parent often prevents them from thinking with there heads and relying on there hearts to lead them into a pit of disparation, losing many years of happiness in the process. Depression is there reward and many never see it coming. It's not their parents fault it's dementia, it's the courts, it's the siblings that know better for fear of getting sucked in, it's a society/people that judges caregivers as ....., its people like you living in a god dam fairy land. There is No Help that is nearly enough to be effective, and this is for the vast overwhelming majority. Remember 5% of Americans own 90% of the wealth, THE REST ARE POOR PEOPLE, your words are from the closed mind of another Republican, you people can not hide any more, clearly you can not identify with the real world, you would inslave us all, and you are just so much smarter too. Every City LOL We all know nursing home are deplorable, many smell like human excrement, patient almost never get to go outside again, windows don't open, the food is garbage, then their home are taken away by medicare so they know they are there to die, we all know they are nothing more then warehouses for the undead. This is why so many wait until they harm themselfs to save their demented parents from this fated end, but nevertheless why distroy yourself, destruction will come soon enough, and you will go the way of your parents, as our society demands it, unless you are as rich as a good Republican.
Very good information. I care for my 97 year old mother in my home. I feel good that we are doing many of the things you suggest, but you offered so many other ideas. I will get to work on implementing them! Thanks for your support. I will watch the video many times and recommend it to others.
Great video. Very informative. I will share with my audience on Alzheimer's Speaks I would love for you to add your organization to our resource directory. It's FREE! I'd also love to talk to someone in your organization about doing an interview on Alzheimer's Speaks Radio
Excellent info here! Though tried to remove old boxes of tablets from the drawer under his bed and he caught me, got a telling off for looking in his drawers!
