@creativeconnectdementia: We have one more month! Thank you for helping us out so we can keep bringing dementia care education to you! #alzheimers #alzheimerscare #memorycare #dementiacaregiver
my MIL has some issues with memory, but she's always been spacey. Maybe this isn't the right channel, but what should I look for to know that this is a shift from forgetfulness into dementia?

i used to work in a nursing home, and i never knew what to do, when the residents with dementia wanted to "go home", not realising that they live there now :( distraction sometimes didnt work either

Could you guys do some videos around how to help someone when they believe a stranger to be a relative/friend (happened today at work), and how to respond to someones self-soothing self talk with dementia? one of my residents often talks directly to me, but once action is involved she goes "Okay come on Mom, we're going with the nice boy for dinner. I'll tell Dad and the sons are coming too." like her family follows her around 🥺

What do I tell my husband when he asks where I am? He obviously is in a state where he doesn’t know who I am, but then he’s asking for me. If I say, “I’m right here,” he says I’m tricking him. If I say, “or she’s around. She’ll be back soon,” he wants more details. He’s called me on the phone while I was next to him! Trying really hard to go along with his realities, redirecting, arc., but this one is rough.

How do you handle when someone with dementia asks about a loved one who has passed away?

my now deceased FIL was religious and often insisted that it was or wasn't certain religious holidays, creating conflict with others trying to celebrate the holidays correctly. how would you handle this?

I’m not sure what to do when my dad wants to take the bus to his deceased mom’s place of work (which does not exist). He will sometimes try walking to the bus stop on his own. He gets very fixated on it because obviously he misses his mom.

My mom passed away and I had to move in with my dad who has Alzheimer’s. In order for me to go to work and have a life, I have him in daycare until 3 PM and then at night he’s with me up until 8 PM that I put him to bed. So I have no life at night but during the day I’m able to go to work and do my stuff. He’s in daycare Monday through Saturday. Get yourself at daycare!

How do you find time to take care of yourself when you are a primary care giver with little support?

I take care of my dad who has Alzheimer’s. During the day he’s at daycare but at night he’s with me. When I tell him to take a shower I show him where the towel is where the soap is he says he does but I just think he turns on the water and he doesn’t take a shower. When I check the soap it’s dry when I checked the towel It’s dry, but he lies up and down that he showered. I think he’s literally wetting himself from the sink and then drying off and that’s it.

I don't know any queer people with dementia or Alzheimer's but I was worried if there are any care tips for elderly trans people with dementia specifically

my loved one is convinced she’s eaten when she hasn’t. we’ll sit down for lunch and everyone will get soup. she tells us that she’s already had soup today and doesn’t want more, so we give her something else, which she also claims she’s had, and the cycle continues. she ends up completely refusing to eat anything and loses significant weight
