This was a plethora of quality information, greatly appreciated. Headed to your website now. Thank you.

I needed to see this although my husband and siblings are not ready for this move. Being the one who spends more time with Mom I think it is time.

This was an amazing podcast with so much helpful information and so happy to now have Dr. Cummings as a resource. Thank you!

Thank you, this helps

Thank you so much. This is so extremely helpful.

My mother has always been a loner, and she is in a great memory care home with about thirty residents who are all at the same level of dementia (moderate) She is isolating and want to go home to be surrounded by her stuff. She is staying in bed for breakfast. She just wants to be in her beautiful home with all her possessions. She would be unsafe living alone, and would not accept outside caregivers, I cannot live and care for her without her abusing me and treating me like a live in servant. Her desire to go home is getting worse after a year and she says she does not fit in with the other residents, but they do chat to her and everyone is very nice to her. She says she has been “dumped”. I am not sure how to approach this.

WHAT IF THEY DONT EVEN RECOGNIZE THEIR OWN BATHROOM OR BEDROOM NOW..OR DOESN'T KNOW WHERE THE KITCHEN IS AT HOME😢!

Thank u Teepa for all the information ❤

NEVER!

⭐️I am here! All things you are saying truth!!

I have studied with Teepa and PAC for over 10 years. For the past 18 years, I've been providing assistance for families looking for dementia care in San Diego County. A Senior Placement and Referral Specialist is the person to work with because, if we have lasted in this trade for more than 2 years - we know how to evaluate the options and we share that with you so that you can choose the best. I care about my reputation and that's what I've built my business upon. Plus I have a passion for dementia care. I suggest your work with an agent so that you don't go to places that are not good, or too much money, or just don't provide the level of sophistication in their care approaches. It's a thought

❤I live in Sourh Africa. After watching this I am so glad that I kept at it because I could see my husband deteriorate. He was finally diagnosed with FTD after a brain MRI. Now I am taking him to a sphyciatrist for the correct meds(hopefully) to treat his symptoms❤

Omg, so happy for you Elaine! You have been a great therapist & have really helped me through some rough stuff. I wish you much success and hope you will share more videos on therapy via RUclips.

Reviewing all videos . Studiying. Thank you

Love always 💞💞💞

Rachel appears to be an excellent therapist.

Thank you 😊

Was it reported?

It only lasts so long. It’s actually cruel to loved ones to not accept reality. At the early stages, they know better if they have a healthy emotional intelligence. If not, it makes everything a mess.

What about abuse my ex-husband abuse her . She is 22 now .I wish I could do something

I'm doing my absolute best to 'walk carefully' with my mom, but the resentment toward me when I'm trying to get her to take her medications on schedule, and the resentment and anger toward me is very difficult to deal with. Suggestions?

Question: Dad's got memory issue(s) and has fecal incontinence. He soils the floor(s) all the time, tracking it through my house. I can't keep up with the carpet cleaning in his room much less the additional parts of the house where he travels unknowingly tracking it all over my floor. Please. Tell me it's time. He has a house but only Medicare and social security. What does it cost him to get into a facility?

Thank you!

It is asking a lot from kids, especially if they are out of town and need to manage their own lives.

I've loved Teepa's lecture videos, but non of this accounts for my Mother. Her latent suspicious, stubborn, willful nature has solidified into absolute stone. She doesn't want to be around strangers ir anyone really, thinks everyone wants to steal her things, her home is her castle, no other place is acceptable . She's stage 5 dementia and yet still way too wiley to be tricked or convinced about setting foot in a facility for any reason. She'd start throwing hands. She'd see it as an absolute betrayal and would hate us "kids" for whatever time is left to her. I dread this transition like the plague. And yet, we keep inching nearer... I'm considering (if Medicaid will foot it) to try full care at home, since it's also half the price of facility care. And ride that train for as long as we can...

dementia and alzheimer . can be heald , use vegetable oils in your food , coconut , avocado oil . eat only fruits , vegetables , nuts and seeds . do breathing exercizes . nuts look like a brain... so its good for your brain . learn meditating and focus on your brain , so u have blood circulation . Yoga is healty . U need lots of magnezium , favorit food of your brain . Cacaou , spinich , stinging nettle , alfalfa . Avoid burned oils , chemicals , acidic foods . rozmarin helps with memory

As an experienced aged care RN, i find the earlier someone enters aged care, the easier it is for them.

Great conversation to understand options.

This is very good advice. My sister and i are actually going to a MC facility tomorrow to sign a contract for our 85 yo mother. We probably should have done it a couple months ago, but we have been using a caregiver for several weeks about 50 hours a week. The facility is very nice, 2 years old, and our point of contact is very knowledgeable. We did not include our mother in this decision because we feel she would fight it. It is $6900 a month and my mother has a long term care policy which will cover appx. half the cost. We are NOT looking forward to moving day. However, the lady at the facility has stated her room should look like her home. We are torn on that aspect.

this was good basic info---but where was the dementia connection?

Thank you, Ms. Metoyer for this helpful information!

I’m going through this with my elderly mom with Alzheimer’s. It is so hard and frustrating because it feels like they might know yet block it out because they don’t want to accept it. Very good explanation as it’s more they’ve lost that part of the memory to recognize it. It sure doesn’t make it easier for the caregiver.

Quality content from both of you. Do you have caregiving openings with Visa sponsorship? I would be interested.

Totally agree, have been doing this for years,now in my 90’s, I still play the keyboard in my retirement home 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎼🎻🎻👨‍🦯👨‍🦯🧑🏻‍🦽🧑🏻‍🦽

I wish my dad had gotten almost anything other than dementia. I'm so sad.

Never heard thus explained. Brilliant. Valuable information--this precedes the getting lost coming home from grocery store!

😢

Why does it seem that much of the US population has symptoms of Anosognosia? And, no - I do not have dementia symptoms. I believe Anosgnosia is another word that describes unconsciousness. Surely this could be a possibility. As an example, when one family member of a dysfunctional family becomes scapegoated and eventually understands the family dynamics and therefore goes NO CONTACT. Leaving the dysfunctional family gives this person the ablity to heal and to thrive. All remaining family members remain in denial regarding the family dynamics, therefore, they all maintain ANOSOGNOSIA. They do not have the capacities to see emotional conflicts and problems.

Excellent! It does work so much better!

This truly was one of the best videos I have listened to regarding dementia. Diana, you are the most enlightening speaker on this topic that I have really gained useful tips to assist me with my husband’s dementia!

They not safe in a facility, they wont use bedrails to keep them safe from falling out of bed, happens alot

I live in IL, have already ruled out VA assist and medicaid (few facilities with those beds), so must now face selling our home to pay for Mem Care and move into an apt. My HWA, after almost 7 yrs of diagnosis, still has not accepted he has a problem. I can't do this anymore and his daughter has never helped with his care. She, like her Dad, is in denial. So I am left with finding the right place and placing him there. I can't ask 'what did you think of this one?", because he is not going to understand of it. I need to intuit the right place and take him there. I had thought making it look like home was the right choice, but I guess not. I will tell him I need a vacation and so he too will have a vacation. God help me!

Wow, that was do good.

Excellent advice. Thank you very much.

Well explained. Thank you.

Thank you very much

TY

Even in the context of dementia to continue the above comment.

Cheating is never ok.
