More of a geriatric tour than dementia. But anything that helps the staff think more concretely about the handicaps and physical challenges older folks deal with is probably worth the small investment of time this took to carry out.
Their is no need to say 'those who suffer with dementia' and say it is a 'terrible disease'. With the right care and support they can live well with dementia. Also, many of what your getting them to do is not to do with dementia but getting elderly.
This video does not simulate dementia but what typically happens to elderly with normal aging.. losing hearing, eyesight, arthritis. Dementia is totally different. Both my parents have dementia and they see and hear fairly well. My mom is able to get around fairly easily. To simulate what they experience you would have to forget what you did 5 minutes ago, lose track of what year it is.. and believe that your parents are still alive.. be confused about where you are and why you are there. They can't follow movies because they can't remember from one minute to the next.. nor can they read a book. This makes me wonder about what is really understood about dementia.
Well you’ve never been educated, nor worked with people with dementia. I would encourage you to get truly educated in all of the aspects of the disease.
@@kevingoble7705 Both of my parents have dementia. My dad has since passed and my mom lives in a memory care now.. I have been dealing with dementia for 10 plus years..how much more "educated" do I need to be?
@@kakigr3289 a lot more. I lived with my dad who had dementia. Before that, I was a memory care director and a critical care paramedic. I had to quit my job to live with him as I put him on hospice. I now work as a memory care director again. I would encourage you to search out some people I have studied under….Naomi Feil, Teepa Snow, Diana Waugh, Richard Taylor. Dementia and “normal aging” are totally different.
I wish I could afford to buy one for my mother. This is heartwarming. God bless this lady for blessing all the people she has with these life like dolls.
