HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- The team explores the concept of time in relation to care tasks. How long we think something takes, how long something actually takes, and how adding a few steps from the #SnowApproach an actually speed things up. As an example, the team discusses getting someone up and out of bed in under two minutes utilizing a connection, the person’s pace, and using their willingness to help.

You are so welcome, @UptonSam! Thanks for subscribing and commenting too!
This should really help me with my mother. She takes a long time getting out of bed. Ty ladies
You are very welcome, @conniereedy5550!
where/when did i lose myself from the thread of time (just a moment's worth) to connect with the future and positive outcomes? Teepa's approach is pure zen philosophy.

She's my guru. Teepa inspires me to connect with my dementia specific clients out in the community. I've been following her for 7yrs.❤

I totally agree with the pause before entering the room. I take at least 2 real relaxing breaths through my nose, with my shoulders down and back, before I enter the room. I consider those breaths and the ones I take while in the room part of my care for my loved one(mother). It keeps me centered and with them.
Thanks for sharing what you do, @fishingrod920! You have figured out that breathing is a good way to prepare yourself. Nice!
What if when you ask are you ready to get up, they say no. My father would say no 99% of the time.
Here is where YOUR pause comes in. I’d suggest you sit there and make undemanding conversation and keep your tone unhurried and upbeat. After another minute or two, suggest another step in the getting up process.
Hi, @greengrass9598, I wonder if you change the question from a yes or no answer to something else would you get a different answer. How if you tried, do you want to get up now or would you prefer to get up in 15 minutes?
Hi, @kathleencarpentier3397! Great suggestion!!! Thanks for sharing.
🙏❤I have grown with a strong single mother. To see and watch her memory decline, hits me HARD! But thankfully, I seen and she taught me to be kind. My PATIENCE is needed, I would think go in slowly and just kindly wake em. I might make slight noises to get her to wake, instead of starling her. She is just a beginning stages of short memory and repeat. But yes, definitely "No Light" heck I HATE that even now at my young age. I can imagine elder😔🙏Prayers for those going thru this ugly disease and those families that become caregivers. Patience and Faith🙏❤
Hi, @smiley6173 thanks for sharing about PATIENCE. That is a very good skill with working wih someone living with dementia. If you'd like to see another video like this one, check out (ruclips.net/video/hcbM5iwFSLQ/видео.html). Great ideas you've listed above.
How about when they don't know what it means when you say "stand up", like they can't command their legs to activate?
Hi @transklutz, that is a great question. Thank you so much for reaching out and asking. Visual cues! We love to support with visual cues. Here is a link to a list of RUclips videos on all sort of ways to provide support with visual cues. www.youtube.com/@teepasnowvideos/search?query=visual%20cues. Scroll through them, some are just a few minutes and some are a little longer. Let us know if you have any other questions. We are here to help!
Tone of voice. Lights off still. Calm. Low approach.
I think about how I’d like to be woken up in the morning. I’ve had times when family came in flipping the bright lights on & off, talking really loudly & when you’re a young person, maybe that’s OK. But it works a lot better when you’re older/not well/move differently to turn the lights up slowly & do it the way Teepa & crew does it, gently. You have a participant who’s much happier, more cooperative & responsive. That’s in the task with you. Not against you.
