Memory Care Home Solutions offers a unique intervention, provided by Social Work and Occupational Therapy dementia specialists, which is proven to extend and improve quality time at home for people with memory disorders and their family members. The mission is achieved through customized, hands-on training and home visits that teach caregivers the skills to manage daily stress, transform their home into a place of support and safety, and increase the quality of life for all those who live there.
Caregivers want to do the best job they can; they simply don’t know how. Dementia caregiving is not common sense! A creative and flexible approach is needed which honors the person with dementia and encourages activity and engagement. Every family needs a guide for the journey of dementia care. The staff at Memory Care Home Solutions equips family members with tested and effective strategies to cope with difficult symptoms, resources for support, and home safety devices and modification.
We just started with Memory Care and so far they have given us very helpful information. We are looking forward to having them help us in this journey.
❤❤❤ believe it or not but this was so helpful to me been a CNA quite some time now I'm a shower aid I want to make sure my residence have a clean shower that's in order and scheduled the right way!
Such a bad idea. Suction cup grab bars fail... You will not know when it will fail but it will. We all have had suction cups on some items and after a few years, they fail why do you think this item will be any different?
There's a shortage of information here I'm sorry to criticise. When I try to drop in on someone the menu on my Alea app shows only the apps in my home. How do you drop in on someone else's Alea Echo Show if you only have their mobile number - don't you have to register permission? I'm at a loss to know how to drop in on anyone outside your own premises.
We have a family member with dementia who wear incontinence underwear for 'just in cases'. She has a bit of OCD and sometimes she forgets what we told her and would dispose the incontinence underwear when it gets just a bit dirty. We have paste a note on the wall facing the toilet seat at eye level but she still removes the underwear. When we ask, she would tell us she didn't see the note. We do not know how else to manage this situation as it happens mostly during middle of the night when everyone is deeply asleep. Any suggestions?
Hi there! Yes, due to processing changes, visual cues like signs may not be enough support for someone living with dementia. They need step by step verbal prompts to guide through the task. Is the family member able to put incontinence underwear on again after she removes the dirty ones? Even though they aren't too dirty, due to increased sensory processing, they may be more uncomfortable to her. Please give us a call at 314-645-6247 if you'd like to discuss more!
Hi Frank, a 'standing up' detector can sometimes alarm the person causing falls or upset. There are innovative products like the 'walker squawker' available to try that can help remind to take the walker. joyforall.com/products/walker-accessories-walker-squawker We often use motion sensor lights!
Is there a way that I can angle the screen to look downwards on the camera? When I do a drop in call, I cannot see my son on the couch in our living room.
Hi Rachel, I don't think older versions of the Echo Show have features that would help with that. The only solution would be to move the device to angle the camera differently. This newer version has a camera with "auto framing" and motion that keeps the person in the room in the center of the screen. www.amazon.com/echo-show-10/dp/B07VHZ41L8/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2BF8D7ZVDV0GZ&keywords=echo+show+10&qid=1645193549&sprefix=echo+show+10+%2Cspecialty-aps%2C186&sr=8-1
Comprei uns 10, não estão ficando preso na parede, propaganda enganosa, se soubesse não tinha comprado, porque moro numa casa que não sei por onde passa encanamento, se não colocaria aquele de furar bem melhor. Essa barra de fixação perigosa para idosos. Não comprei gastei um dinheiro e não vi resultado. Quem vai pagar a conta.
I'm not a big fan of this but I still love it if its not bad for me. I'm so happy and glad! I'm glad I did see that! I'm so happy about it and I will say this is not bad.
Thank you. By the way. I am from Manchester, England and we are the mortal enemies of people from Liverpool, England, the home of the Beatles. Lol. Merry Christmas
I have a fiberglass shower enclosure with a very smooth finish and I found this grab bar works very well. I like to use a shower chair so getting up required something like this bar to assist. I try not to put my full weight on it as mentioned in the video. It's been in use for about 2 months and has not come loose. I've yet to reset the suction but I think that's probably a good idea. Note: whatever surface you use make sure it is very clean. If you cannot align the suction cups so that they do not cross a grout line you consider installing it at an angle so that both suction cups align fully on a tile.

Hi Jennifer, we have used a couple different options.

Do not buy this piece of crap it does not hold up somebody is going to get hurt I bought mine from Walgreens it does not hold up as soon as you grab it it comes off somebody is going to sue them do not buy it
Do you sell your signs so I can print and laminate for my dad. They are similar to the ones that I have in my dad’s house. I Also have bright colored tape on each device so he knows their names. I also have Wyze cameras. I also have to get a signal booster because so many devices in his house for me to monitor. I will share your channel with other friends who also caregive for elderly parents.
@@memorycarehomesolutions My brother is at a memory care. I bought the Echo show for him but do i create him his own Amazon account or do i use my own for both my phone to drop in on him?
Good video! I set this up for my mom that is in assisted living right before covid lock down. It's been a life saver!.. I wrote up some how-to's that may help others as well as how to control the TV remotely. macstips.blogspot.com/2020/03/setup-echo-show-5-to-video-conference.html
If people are good at tech, they simply must be in the contacts list. Generally speaking you cant drop in, just call. Drop in is a feature from the app (phone) to the device. However calling works, and its a great way for people who can't dial anymore or don't want to.
