Taking care of a dementia resident can become very frustrated but you always got to learn how to have patience

Ok so secret is nerves of steel. My bed-bound grandma called me 4-5 times yesterday to ask why I moved her from her apartment (which i didnt, shes been there for the past 50 years but suddenly didnt recognize her home)

These are great learning points. I just became a "care pro" (my company's term for caregiver), for a month now. I used to tell myself "I can't take care of old folks. No way!" But here I am🤗 I never thought caring for others, especially older people can be exciting and fun, not to mention you can learn lots of wisdom from them.🤗

Interesting. Be patient and clear communication.

Another thing you must know is what they see and hear is their reailty and is true to them

I love that the employees are actually nice to the elderly. Unlike many other in the nursing homes. Thank god for that.

I've gotta give a lot credit to those who take care of dementia patients. I don't think I would ever have the patients to deal w/ someone who has full on dementia. My dad is in early stage dementia (or at least what I think it is) and his stubborness, ignorance, pride-fullness, and forgetfulness already drives me

Living with my grandma who has early stage dementia, been incredibly frustrating lately she’s in a fantasy world and being super rude to me. So this helps thanks

[davidjasse]

Great job, you nailed it! Nicely done film!

This is a very mild depiction of a true dementia patient. Most aren’t capable of speaking this clearly unless they are in the beginning stages and don’t have any other issues like bipolar
It requires nerves of steel!
