I had a lady tell me I was a cute little colored girl. Her daughter screamed she was so embarrassed and kept apologizing.

I think that situation is easier to handle because she isn't 100% there. But the unhinged horrible behavior of someone who is 100% mentally and physically capable is what they are hard to care for. It is why I try to be as easy as possible to care for for tg nurses.

Honestly I would have laughed until I peed. But truly, when people call me names, unless it’s something hella creative I don’t even take offense. If it’s creative, I acknowledge it and giggle. Gotta take the small wins 😂

That’s just a norm in the Alzheimer’s dementia world. We love it. It keeps the day interesting. And it’s exactly why we fall in love with your family member and truly love the job we do taking care of them.
