Cracking the Code for Caregivers
United States
Приєднався 29 гру 2019
My name is Jennifer Turley, M.S., CCC-SLP and I am a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist with years of work in Skilled Nursing Facilities. The elderly population is ever growing and insurance limitations are cutting services to those in need of care, leaving families to tackle the difficulties of loved ones suffering from strokes, dementia, dysphagia and countless other conditions. I started this channel to provide tips, tricks and training to both patients and caregivers alike, so they can better care for themselves or others when living at home.

Loved One Won't Drink Water? Try These!
Hi, Jeniffer, I choked on some foods and it triggered strong cough a month ago. I saw a doctor since the feeling of having food inside my respiratory tract (a little bean-size point under my throat apple) lasts. I have no fever and the CT scan of my lung looks normal. The doctor prescribe some antibiotics and it does not work well. Now the feeling of sth weird is still inside, what can I do? Is there any natural ways to get rid of the feeling. Can drinking lemon or bay leaves helps? thanks!!
Interesting but please turn this terrible "music" off
I took memantine and hated it, I feel much better and alert not taking it.
I aspirated on rice and it caused a pneumothorax with a chest tube. I choke on rice almost without exception every time I eat it. Chest tube only once for that but pneumonia a couple other times. Pure insanity you’d think I’d quit eating rice.
You went to fast
We all do that sounds like just being human You guys in your tests..how ridiculous
I am almost 30 years old and I suffer from brain fog after covid and I'm pretty sure I just failed this test. I failed the story, the remembering 5 things and the math question.
This is gay
Just started this, not sure what I’m doing..help
I understand that 14 animals or more is considered normal, while 10 or less is not. What if a person is able to characterise not just the name but also the animals place of origin and Latinised name? Just kidding, it's just that you left that information out on the video.. Some may not seek the further information listed bellow..
I would never take this test, its no test that I've given!
Is the irritating background music part of the test or are just making a video content unimportant?
My Loved one had a stroke over thirty years ago. Then he was diagnosed two years ago with Alzheimer’s as well as Vascular Dementia. Would that long ago stroke cause the vascular dementia?
It's hard to say, but I wouldn't rule it out. How is his heart? That could also contribute to vascular issues leading to Vascular Dementia.
Don got the best score ever lmao who is Don the orange guy
What?
Your diction is poor and you speak too fast
Since one month im suffering that last month foreign Body behind the oesophagus and doctors are removed that with help of anest but even after that its continously food strucking And its not comming out and its not even going back and also having vomiting due to coughing still its not comming im not understanding why is happening can u plz explain me
I would talk to your doctor about a GI referral so they can scope and figure out what's going on.
some of those questions require a few seconds to answer. That doesn't mean you are in cognitive decline. most were very easy. trump was asked to name every day animals and he is very proud that he could.
I don't know if this test is for dementia, I forget things and then I remember, I lose my keys and then I find them, I go to one room and forget why I went in there, but then I rmember. I am just old and forgetful. I can still do all the things I need to and I can do and remember things some young people can't do.
What test?
If it's10 minutes long why is your video only 6:03? Did I pass?
It's hard to believe that a US President bragged endlessly about acing this test. He claims he is a genius, but brags about passing a test for dementia.
lol he got the best score ever
I'm nearing my 3 year anniversary and I still have mild dementia that comes on then goes away, vertigo is another recurring problem that comes on whenever it feels like it . Very frustrating
Very good test. I’m 71. Bit of trouble recalling the 5 objects but way in front on the mental arithmetic ones. ☺️🏴
Thank you for this. We made this channel for my 71 yo mother with vascular dementia. I hope it makes some of you smile while you're on this journey too. ua-cam.com/channels/o20M7Vb-2zOG1ZnFElI41Q.html
I assume this test is for Americans only? Even I didn't know Chicago is in Illinois.
President Biden's troubles brought me here btw. The 3 groups of numbers were given a little fast. Is this how they'd be given in person? Everything else was ok. I remembered the Jack & Jill story easily, but felt stressed as you read it. I'm 68. Thank you.
If you needed them repeated a little slower, I would do that in a 1 on 1 setting.
Thank you so much for this test. I am 79 and have been concerned about my memory. I did have trouble with the 5 objects and repeating the 4 numbers backwards. I know you said I passed the test if I only missed 2 but it still is concerning to me. But, again, I really appreciate your video and will definitely be watching more.
Repeat the test every year or two and compare your score. That's a good way to know if you're having more trouble with certain things as the years progress. Thanks for watching.
I got them all but what the "s" stood for in apple,pen, tie, house and ? I'm still able to do everything else. BUT, I'm 77 and slower to answer and don't multitask well. There's kind of a hitch in my giddy up! I have learned to compensate by keeping a to-do written list with priorities and daily appointments. Also, I have to be well rested and keep my blood sugar stable to do my best. 😊
How did I do? Let me answer by saying let me introduce you to the president of Ukraine, president Putin. I’m proud of my Vice President Trump. And I was the first black woman Vice President. Plus, America can be described in one word….Asfertanlafersisbablas. And what is so shocking about this is that his wife and family should be put in jail for elder abuse.
Well Jack and Jill is a dumb example unless you want us to answer never stated the state as trick question? As not everyone would know where Chicago is located. I had to rewatch that part for mention of the state. Now if asked city/town maybe be better for those unfamiliar of Chicago itself.
How about if you were not very bright to start with?
I agree. The illiteracy level of people in this country because of the failed government education system is astonishing and far more serious and prevalent than dementia.
is the person allowed to write things down as they are listening? and how much time do they have to respond to each question?
Joe Biden.... Where are you ?
Busy helping to keep democracy alive so you can vote in future elections and not have to mark the box with the name Trump in it if you don't want to.
i failed this test, its okay! i have MR also now known as Intellectual disabilty
I passed this test easily but I really am concerned that I'm losing my congnitave ability. I also struggle really badly maintaining concentration on anything. Practically everything I watch on youtube I play at double speed because at normal speed I just lose patience. (I made an exception for this video as I felt that may skew my results). Something else I find worrying is how often I watch a youtube video then, as I go to make a comment, I find a comment made by me a year or so ago. It gets even more worrying when I find that comment is more incitefull than the one I was about to post.
Joe Biden would get all these questions wrong. But he would tell you about the time he beat up Corn Pop! He was a bad dude. No joke!
How did you do Joe?
I forget why i clicked on this video?
You didn't say what State Jack and Jill lived in. You said they lived in Chicago. What if someone doesn't know Chicago is in Illinois?
The paragraph comprehension/recall task is designed to test for executive function skills and extrapolation, which is why they ask for state and only provide city. A person can still get a score that is considered within normal limits even if they don't know the answer to that one question.
I don’t need a test to know my brain is shutting down.
Send this to the POTUS
M67, Not happy right now. Not surprised either…
Is it cheating if you use a mnemonic device to remember the five objects? For example, with apple, pen, tie, house, car, remember APTHC. It would be easier for a person using the mnemonic device than it would be for a person trying to remember these objects without using one. But would their cognitive ability actually be superior?
No, using a mnemonic device is a great strategy. There are actually lots of strategies you can use to remember short lists of random information. That's how most "normal" brains remember information. And that's why people with good cognition are able to perform well on these assessments v. those who are declining.
I took this test and a shorter one with my Medicare physicals. I always picture the 5 items in my head. I'm a very visual learner.
I had to playback you saying "Children" 3 times as I am partially deaf . Mostly I find the absurdity of peoples answers hard to believe as lying has become predominate in society along with the state of moral decay. It makes you question what you hear as so many people are brainwashed sheep directed by emotion and fear. Only a women or homosexual would say "Jill met a devastatingly handsome man" which tells me that the Psychiatric community is dominated by such. Joe Biden could not pass this test yet we hear crickets from that community.
She said that Jill lived in Chicago and then asked what state she lived in Chicago is not a state Chicago is a city. Maybe this woman needs a cognitive test herself!
If you live in the states you should know that Chicago is in Illinois
Give it to the stable genius 😂!
Trump flunked this test.
Jill lives in the state of Illinois. Biden lives in the state of confusion
He did not he passed it
Cognition is not about thinking on your feet. People have different thinking styles. For example the Jill story I may not remember every details hearing someone read it but I would if I read it myself. Thats not a measure of thinking cognitively. Some things you should know right away like the day of the week, the city youre in etc. But a story about some random person name Jill who is a stockbroker thats something different. Two numbers backwards I can do perhaps even 3 but 4 is more work. Does that mean am in cognitive decline if I cant remember 4 numbers backwards no it doesnt. If I can give you two number backwards I know what youre asking hence I can give you 10 number backwards. Because I know what giving a number backwards mean. Asking someone the day of the week is not the same as asking 4 number backwards. Some people suffer from directional dyslexia. I have had that problem all my life. So If I struggle to give 4 numbers backwards it says nothing about my situation. These test are ultimately bias. Anything that requires computation as long you can do it correctly on a piece of paper.
I only got 2 right
