It sure it’s a huge learning curve- hearing some of the problems within a dementia facility, fills me with dread should I be unfortunate enough to have to move my dear wife and friend into such an environment. Hearing about the way these poor souls are having to deal with what could upset them. Right now , my wife has difficulty even finding her way around our home. Moving here a year ago because my daughter wanted to sell her rental property where we lived for 4.5 years was very traumatic. At night - the need for the toilet - I’m woken to provide light and a direction - “ pointing - “ out that door then right and right! Providing guidance constantly - where the fridge is - the pantry! Also Very aware of the attitude “ oh, they’ve got Alzheimer’s My most recent lesson - don’t ask “ why are you getting aggressive “ - it rebounds immediately! No matter how calmly I have said it. Try and report what the plan is for the next step. Normally , Ruth has always washed her own hair but “ tomorrow “ is always a good time. Delay after delay. Finally, I arranged a treat for a hair wash. Immediately she became aggressive, I made the mistake of saying - it’s not like you to be aggressive. Eventually not responding to any comments. We EVENTUALLY got her to a hairdresser. She enjoyed it thoroughly - sadly I didn’t video the event. “ for the next time “ ‘
Similar to the Mediterranean diet, the MIND diet features vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables; berries over other fruit; whole grains; beans; nuts; one or more weekly servings of fish; and olive oil. It also limits servings of red meat, sweets, cheese, butter/margarine, and fast/fried food. the patient should hum and listen to lots of music, looking at old photos. In dementia, the hardest symptom to treat is agitation and aggression among patients. A study has found that essential oils, particularly lavender, bergamot, and lemon balm, can help calm the patient and suppress aggression, agitation, and other psychotic symptoms in patients with dementia. I do find it strange that some political leaders think they can handle their office due to pride. this is elder abuse and persons with medical conditions like this one need proper care and maintenance.

Communication: Important to introduce yourself. Who you are. Why you’re here. What benefit to the person/client are you. Sharon’s explanation about using common sense and being empathetic to the individual and being respectful is so good and important By being respectful and polite to a client (including in front of others) engenders reciprocal respect. Just because a person is living with dementia doesn't mean they are no longer their individual selves and understand what going on but just not able to communicate back to others. I think it vital that all carers understand that the person living with dementia used to be a healthy, vital, average (or not) person and that they just happen to have this debilitating illness and they need our help to live the best life they can.
This has been the only thing I found on it everything else is lewy body dementia I cannot find anything on disease. My dad was just diagnosed and I am lost because I hardly know what it is
😅I have made sure that as many people as possible Know that I have dementia. In a few cases it has meant that some people dismiss me but when I tell my friends and the people who really care about me, they are concerned and understanding. It isn’t a disease you can catch.I have found people are happy to,know why I am behaving the way I do.
Brilliant - just wonderful to see the atmosphere and care change for the betterment of the residents with and without dementia, happier staff and families. Small steps to create big changes.
It is the most hideous disease. My 90 year old mother is in a constant state of hallucinations both visually and auditory. She is always cursing and fighting with her imaginary enemies. She also has alzeimers disease on top of her lewy body. Double whammy. I won't even mention her bipolar disorder. It's like takng care of a tiger. I wish they had Real therapies, but they dont.
People are so very ignorant of this medical condition. I told my only family member about my diagnosis & they said, “you haven’t got that or you wouldn’t be talking to me as you are now.” 😡. It really hurt that they felt I was lying. 😢

Latest studies shows a combination of lack of sleep, too much sugar/glucose in diet and not enough exercise will increase your chances of a neurological disorder
I once believed Alzheimer's disease has no cure. Well, it is true with western medication, but not with herbal medicine. My Dad's experience opened my eyes to the reality of a cure through herbs.. My Father was diagnosed with mild dementia in 2013 but now he's finally free with herbs from Dr. Rohan. You can reach out with the doctor via dr.rohanronjohn@gmail.com
