Is there another video that continues this storyline?

Question: as a health care provider, if you determine that a patient with dementia needs and qualifies for home nurse visits… and you put in the referral for them to receive these services… do you instruct the nurse to call the DEMENTIA PATIENT’S cell phone to set up the first home nursing visit? (I hope not. That wouldn’t make any sense and wouldn’t be helpful. But for some reason, this is exactly what Kaiser just did with my FIL - they had the nurse call FIL with dementia, rather than MIL who cares for him or their two grown sons who live nearby. Naturally, when FIL with dementia answered the phone, he told the nurse he didn’t need any help and he refused to set up an appointment for the nurse to come to his house. It’s insane, and so neglectful, I cannot believe the doctor’s office would do things this way!)

Thanks. Didn’t hear about this one. Frustrating when I’d like to use a calm voice but my loved one can’t hear and won’t use hearing aid so I have to speak loudly and he thinks I’m yelling at him. It makes things worse.😢

When your 72 yr old has a UTI with delirium and delusions. What do you do? My father is 72 and has had 3 UTI since I have lived here. He refuses to go to the hospital and he has that right. EMS workers have said they need his permission yet he's confused, delusional. How do you make sure they get to the hospital? Do I need a POA - Personal Care?

It's not unusual for family and friends to distance themselves after a dementia diagnosis. I feel abandoned since my husband's diagnosis. I shared out of necessity with our immediate family and closest friends, even though he didn't want me to. He has alienated people by his constant calling and repetitive questions to financial institutions and to doctor's offices. They need to know what's going on but I feel that I would be going behind his back and that would make him angry or embarrassed. He has messed up finances, changed passwords and then forgotten them and repetitively mixed up doctor appointments. The bank, doc offices and friends are getting quite annoyed with him. He's clueless about how bad things are. I need to start playing hardball here. Just not sure how to present this to his doctors and bank institutions. Oddly, the minimal amount of time he spends with his PCP and urologist, they're completely unaware of his dementia. Which I find disconcerting.

Loose the creepy background noise.

Remaining calm is sometimes really hard.

Oh is so so hard.

It is hard and so sad

Where can I find the dementia advisor app? I’m not finding it on the App Store

JOE BIDEN is proof..

They’re suffering if people are constantly to push them. I have MCI, and I have this problem. I’m at a stage that my symptoms can be mitigated, but when people bombard me with texts and calls or try to force me to do things, especially to go out and especially when it’s last minute, it causes extreme anxiety attacks and that causes me to isolate more. I try very hard to maintain myself so people don’t actually see my illness, which makes it harder. People also try to guilt and shame me. I’m saying this to try to raise awareness and to say that it’s actually cruel and insensitive to bully someone for an illness that we can’t help having.

Thank you for being articulate in the way you have spoken about this very common condition that affects us all when we don't have the knowledge. Dementia Coach

I really needed to hear this, thank-you. I care for my husband and had to make the difficult decision to place him in a care facility. He wants to drive again, go on road trips, work, the list is endless. He is difficult to distract and his focus on what he can't do or can't have would be admirable in many other ways but this becomes a battle line he refuses to retreat from. It is exhausting as he is so repetitive in his demands.
