This lady has better memory than most people. I am wondering about my self
I can’t believe that her daughter is caring so much for her Mother this amazing .
Aileen Sultzer the daughter will get Alzheimers too...
@@lindaleelaw5277 not necessarily
Most likely will.
Very brave and I’m really impressed about how this lady and her family are finding out and researching how to manage Alzheimer’s. God bless you all.

Shes well spoken
I really loved this. So helpful.
Two beautiful ladies! They have such a wonderful relationship!
I spent 3 months with my mother when I found out that my stepdad needed to be put in a nursing home he was my mother's caregiver. I got on the next plane Trip to Yuma Arizona from Portland Oregon. I was in shock over the situation that I found after 2 years of nobody visiting them during COVID they weren't eating. They didn't dust or clean or vacuum and they just went once a day to bubba's restaurant to eat a meal. All stimulation was at a stop. 6 weeks in of me taking mom to see dad. Was long enough for me to see what Dad was hiding moma is in late stages of dementia and when he passed away I think she had another stroke. My story is too long to read. To painfull to Tell.
Wow...your step-dad did the best he can.
So very sorry. So hard when families don’t live close together , they don’t necessary know what is really going on.
I personally find the interviewer very calming and knowledgeable. My brother 81)
has just been diagnosed with dementia. His doctor is one of the rudest I have ever encountered!! I am basically educating myself.
What a lovely councellor
She forgets words and sometimes why she went into a room. If that's the main thing, I have it too. She seems 95% okay to me.
Yeah for now, the difference with dementia is that it will get worse relatively quickly, just need to hope it will take a long time
We learned that my mother was very, very good at superficial social "conversation" and making a joke out of being "scatterbrained" so that nobody was aware of the degree of deterioration until it was actually unsafe because she was making bad decisions, missing bill payments, etc.
I thought I was getting dimentia but after listening to this elderly woman I found out that I do not have dimentia or Alzheimer's.
God bless them all, from Scotland 💙💙💙
Is she still with us
i think these people are actually actors. Sorry if i've burst anyone's bubble, but it would make sense to have scripted conversations. but quite believable.
I don't think that's the case - I think this is a genuine consultation. Obviously it was filmed so there would have been structure and some form of agenda for what was going to be discussed, but it looks 100% real to me.
@@tjfSIM they're definitely actors. I've seen several videos with the mother Collen in them playing similar roles with different diagnoses.
Seems to me that it would be better to have the husband in first. He's the one dealing with it the most. The daughter is great for wanting to learn but the husband is really the most affected.
Did you miss the part where Colleen mentioned he still worked?
Mmm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mmm-hmmm. Yep.
Mmm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mmm-hmmm.
People actually get counseling after dementia diagnosis? My husband has been diagnosed twice and has not had any support. How does one get counselling like this in Michigan? Does our PCP make the recommendation for this?
6:10 the conversation definitely goes off track
I noticed that as well
Is the lady still alive? Mmm hmmm
The whole mmmmm, yeah, mm hmmm thing that worker is doing would have incited fury in me if I was the one sitting there with the dementia diagnosis. She may mean well, but it comes across as incredibly condescending.
I didn’t think so at all.
Hmmm...mmmm....uhum....yeah....uhummmm 🙄🤦
Mmhhmmm.... Mmhhmmm.... Mmhhmmm
This woman is blessed . She has people. I like many dont.
And this worker, mmmmm, mmm. Mmm and drives me crazy. what's her purpose ? To mirror? Theres no sincerity. Uh-huh ack. I'd have walked by now.
Poor counselor and that hmmm she keeps doing is annoying. Needs an older counselor with more experience and knowledge.
Raise hell, "Mom", you've earned it. Tell them to eff off. If you're not careful, they will put you in a nursing home and you'll never get out.
jensmom604 exactly. They are hurrying her.
That's the pennydrop. Dementia is progressive, it doesn't get better but worse until you're in such a bad shape you won't be able to identify a spoon. You won't be able to eat, take your medications, walk, talk or understand what's being said to you. A home is the only safe option unless you can have some form of live-in nurse or family who live with you and take care of everything
God how many times does she say Mmm hmm .... it drives me crazy, so un genuine too. Would have been a good video to watch if not for that. Just a job to her, no real compassion for the patient and her mother.
Really? That didn't come across to me at all. She seemed to be really listening to what they were saying and taking it on board, I liked her. Saying 'Mmm hmm' is a good way of letting people know that you're listening, and the ladies seemed to appreciate her help.
Lol I thought it was the mother and daughter doing it more
At 72, I want an older provider, not some prissy do gooder, saying mmmm.
These young folk know book learning but have NO IDEA ...
Lindalee Law well said, that was my thought too.
I'm 30 and about to graduate a degree in counsleling and work in this field, and many of us that go into aged care have a lot of personal experience with this. When my parents had me mum was in her 40s and dad in his late 50s, the result was me nursing my dad through early onset dementia from my teens, and now my mum is going through the same issues in her 70s. I chose this because I saw someone I loved slowly lose themselves, their mental faculties, their independence and eventually his life. Like many of the younger people in this field I want to help others who are going through that hard journey. I also have chronic illness and arthritis and have from very young, so I've known from age 23 what it's like to sometimes need a walking stick, or be unable to get out of bed. Please don't think that just because my face is young that I don't know a thing, or empathise.
Granted this woman isn't the best example of how to approach this, but different countries have different levels of trianing required.
@@BirdyMum you are probably more of an exception to this. Most of the time it is primary book learning. Also I can attest that the mmm...hmmm thing is extremely placating. Hope you're successful.👍
