Any of us seniors who didn't grow up with or spend our working lives working with modern technology, phones, computers etc... shouldn't be expected to be adept at using this tecnology, EVER ! It is HARD even if we don 't have cognitive impairment/dementia. Always be RESPECTFUL .
Wish I knew about these strategies 18 years ago in the period before my mum died, it’s very illuminating. Thanks for sharing.
I’m so glad I watched this video. I’m dealing with this exact situation with my 92 year mother. Such great great advice. I can’t believe this video hasn’t had a million views already!

Lot's of help for people with family and friends. What about the rest of us senior aging population who have no one ?
If you are older and not yet declining, I would highly recommend making connections with others...e.g. join a neighborhood group that supports older adults, join a community group, join a church, whatever you can find.
For those older adults who start to decline and have no family or friends...if things get bad enough, eventually they either come to the attention of Adult Protective Services or they end up in the ER or hospital. In each state there is a system of public guardianship that will step in once an older adult is truly incapacitated, but it's underfunded.
Can you make a video concerning CVAs and cognitive challenges, please?
I doubt I'll be able to make a video about this soon, however I do have an article addressing this here: betterhealthwhileaging.net/cerebral-small-vessel-disease/
What about being old and nobody wants me. They should just be happy
So sorry you have that pain!
@@lizhall2961 Sorry, thoughts and prayers help no one. Get real.
Many older adults are experiencing loneliness, loss of purpose, and many other challenging emotions...and if they are cognitively slipping, they are also often anxious about losing independence and control of their lives.
Do know how much a home for independent living COST and let’s not talk assistant livening you talk through a rich person mouth. And Medicare will not help
If antibiotics are needed for dental care, but if they cause diarrhea and belly pain, what is possible to convince older parents to take and not stop them ? Thanks.
Hello, our doctor recently prescribed this drug to my cognitively disabled Brother and I am concerned. Is Rosuvastatin Crestor an anticholinergic?
Rosuvastatin is a statin, meaning a medication that reduces LDL cholesterol. It's not anticholinergic. It was probably prescribed to reduce cardiovascular risk. I worry less about statins than I do many other medications prescribed to older adults.
@@BetterHealthWhileAging Thank you so much I truly appreciate you responding.
How about understanding the person that is taking care of there parent feels pain in there heart as they watch there parent decline. It's hard at times to separate there emotions and just helping there parent through things
Yes it is always a difficult emotional journey for those watching an aging parent decline. I highly highly recommend finding a support group...humans need to have their challenges compassionately witnessed by others.
How about HOW to find help for the elderly who have poor or no finances.
Our society has decided to use Medicaid to provide long-term care services to older adults who are very financially limited. So for the situation you describe, I would recommend looking into applying for Medicaid in the state where the older person resides. You can also contact your local Area Agency on Aging for information on other programs that might be available, such as Meals on Wheels. I also like the Family Care Alliance website, which can help you find local and state-specific resources: www.caregiver.org/connecting-caregivers/fca-carenav/
All of this requires legwork to explore and obtain, unfortunately. Good luck!
Here’s the REAL answer: Accept the FACT that aging patients by now have figured out that the medical profession is a FOR PROFIT industry that in most cases over react, over treat, prescribe, and are taught to squeeze the patients health insurer for every penny rather than be conservative and cautious. That elderly patients are often considered easy targets by greedy aggressive healthcare providers who believe the elderly are naive and stupid when in fact they are alert, have 100% more life experience and therefore have a different approach to illness than what they learned from a school book. Doctors do more harm guessing than they know. Doctors need to LISTEN more to their patients while leaving their egos and ignorance home.
