Thank you for this!! It took my husband years to understand this concept while processing the fact that his mother has dementia. I would go along with her reality, and he would constantly tell me I was lying to her and that wasn’t helping. To me, it was helping bc she is never argumentative with me. It was the path of least resistance. Plus, when I think of lying, I correlate that with malice and deceitful intent. Going with their reality is quite the opposite. You’re helping make them comfortable. It’s a win-win for everyone!

Hello I love horror I have autism and anxiety and turrets and AZ burgers and Mispohonia and i love horror movies i love going to conventions my favorite horror movie is m3gan i have a m3gan doll and plushie my mom got me for emotional support and i sleep with her every night

Your videos have been so helpful. Binge watching and learning so many helpful tips! Feel less alone. See so many things I can do differently and better!

before you choose hospice care....shop around not every hospice org is equal i didnt do the above i will spend the rest of my life regretting my mistakes at the end of my father's life

The opinion that every person living with dementia could be afforded a palliative interdisciplinary team would be magnificent. Whole person care benefits the patient and caregivers - from symptom management, to spiritual, social work, and music therapy.

Such important distinctions. Thank you!

Watching this video after dealing with a resident yelling about an employee and another resident assaulting her son. The employee and son were not in the building and resident she was accusing is physically disabled and asleep. She kept asking me to call the police.

Use a monitoring app on her phone, one made for kids, that gives you control over the phone.

Set her phone on "Do Not Disturb" with family members on the exception list?

Your content is really awesome

Great advice

Great info!

Sad time but when u no u no

This is fun 3:40

I wanna buy this for my anxiety-

Cute ❤

Not I just need to figure out what to do when we can't get her to drop it. After not dropping it she waits until we go to the store then trashed our rooms trying to find whatever she thinks we stole.

Good advice, my dad had dementia in the last 4 years of his life. He had delusions and didn’t believe he was ever married or had children. When we told him he had children he became quite upset and believed his mother would be disappointed that he had children outside of marriage. His mum had been dead for 30 years at that point. He believed my mum was his carer hired by his mum rather than his wife, and that I was a family friend. We realized it was much better to ‘entertain’ his delusions and hallucinations, which calmed him. Pointing out the truth only leads to stress and anxiety for those with dementia. Once we embraced his ‘reality’ he was very happy up until his passing.

Exactly the words we are looking for to explain to family. Period. Thank you!

I think my family needs this Percy, it looks like a real cat.

Thank you for your sharing, Rachael. 😘

Thanks for this info.

We are at this stage right now and your video is so helpful! It's exactly what I have been worried about the most. Even though my parents planned for eventual assisted living care, now that it's time, I don't think my mom is going to easily accept that. Your advice should really help ease that discussion with her.

Hi Rachael. We’re getting ready to move my mother (early stages of dementia) and father into assisted living. Your videos have been so helpful. Thank you for blessing us with this empowering information!

I wish I would have found you sooner so I could have your books however, my mom with dementia is in assisted care & they want us to move her to memory care this Thursday. I’m in a panic of what to tell her & praying for a smooth transition. The 3 ideas you provided are helpful ideas…wish me luck!

I have received nasty judgements from neighbors of my grandma who feel that I’m the antichrist for putting her into memory care. One of them told me karma will get me and hung up on me.

What an amazing and beautiful robot pet 😻💕💜 I'd love to have one of these for myself!

We have been putting this off for 3 years it’s really bad he wears diapers he is aggressive he has memory issues dementia he doesn’t sleep we can afford memory care but my mom keeps putting it off he was in the hospital for 2 weeks it was like we got are life back he needs to go how do I convince my mom to take him there she keeps putting it off what can I do to help my mom actually do it I watch him from 6am to 3pm my mom watches him from 3pm to 6am he sleeps 2 hours maybe it’s ruining are lives please help me with advice

So TRUE!! Thank you 🙏🏼

What color are your kitties?

My brother continually tells people that I'm stealing from him. Their response is that I don't have any access to his money (which is true). He's never said this to me directly. However, it's hurtful because he never says this about anyone else -- friends, other family members. Why am I being singled out? Does this represent a deep-seeded hatred of me on his part? Any thoughts would be helpful and appreciated.

Sounds good. However, what do you say to convince a loved one to move closer to you; i.e. across country to the area in which he was raised? I'm thinking of saying that the climate (where you want him to move to) is better for his health. Yes, lame I know. If anyone has any suggestions, they'd certainly be appreciated.

My approach was, Mom, these people will help you while I have to travel. My kids live on opposite coasts, and there was a previous respite stay. A new question is that one of the other residents is in the active dying stage. I know that, I'm not sure my mom is clued in, and she thought that other person was someone she knew. I don't know the protocol, I'm sure they will send all the residents to their room while they remove the body. Any thoughts?

I have the same cat in that video

That a cute cat

Got mine today. Basically I bought 1 liter of water for $89 Canadian dollars. Expiry date is in 1.5 month. Don't waste your money!

my mother loves her tabby and swears it's real. after it stopped functioning, we purchased this one and told her that Chat chat (the tabby) was at the vet and her long lost cousin, from Poland, named chou chou was her to take care of my mother while chat chat was out. love ,love this product.

We had the same experience with Mom’s Primary Physician. He had no clue and seemed disinterested in taking the time to learn more about her condition.

I think I will stick to the non interactive cat. The backbacks are adorable too.

Where did she get it from

You make a really great point here, Rachael. We get this sometimes when families are expecting one to one care because we are a smaller home with only eight residents. Families don’t understand why one of our staff can’t take mom for a 30-minute walk everyday or read to her for half an hour at bedtime. This is really the job of private duty aides, which are great if you can afford them, but they are prohibitively expensive for most. I think part of it lies in the marketing where every day looks like nothing but rainbows and ice cream. I think that’s true about 65% of the time, but the other 35% is not always pretty in dementia care even if the slick marketing brochures tell families otherwise. Aggressive behavior, refusals of care, falls, elopement seeking, changes in medical condition, arguments between residents…this is all a reality that families need to be prepared for. Communication is key between facilities and families, and it’s crucial that families be contacted quickly whenever issues arise. When families are realistic and work together with the facility and health care providers, we can all give the loved one much better care and a better quality of life.

Looking at game booklet, I noticed that some require tokens, but I don't see any in the box. Reminds me of the Eames House of Cards.

why is this video so underated? this could help millions of people... stay strong! P.S here b4 viral!

"We're going to this nice five-star hotel (Memory Care). You can stay there while I go help Gramma. I'll be back to see you as soon as I can." It was traumatic for our family, but we were very relieved that our loved one with dementia was satisfied with this explanation and has adapted quite well to her new MC environment.

I love this 😭😭😭

That is cute 😍

Cant believe you dropped your ice cream straight away! I’m hoping to use it for teaching EFL to kids.
