Alzheimer's Disease | EXERCISES for DEMENTIA | Recreation Therapy

- Опубліковано 9 лис 2020
- This workout is created specifically for people in moderate to advanced stages of dementia, including Alzheimer's Disease and any other type of dementia. I work as a Recreation Therapist with patients with dementia and have learned how to cater my class to best suit those with later stages of dementia. The moves are not complicated so they are easier to understand. I count since I find patients will often count with me and it is something they can still do. If your loved one can't lift their arms all the way due to shoulder injuries or loss of mobility, just encourage them to lift as far as it is comfortable. I purposely didn't talk too much in the video since it is easy to overwhelm a person with dementia. Although I can't use popular music from the 50's & 60's due to copyright laws, I tried to find music that would still be appropriate yet not overwhelming. I hope this video will help to get your loved one moving. Wishing you and your loved one all the best as you spend time exercising together.

This is perfect for my Mom who had a stroke a couple of years ago and has dementa. We started the exercises only 2 days ago and she is already in a better mood and talking more. Thank you so much!!
I am thrilled to read your comment, Kesha. Most of the gentle workouts I have in my ‘true beginner’ playlist should work well for your mom. Exercise definitely makes a difference for dementia.
Very good for stretching thanks 👍😊
Exploring the range of your workouts. Praying I will never need to share this one, though grateful to know it's available. Jules, you are an angel on earth.
Thank you Chris. This one works well for anyone looking for a gentle workout (with or without dementia).
Thank you so much, Dear Jules!💯
Have a great week!🙋♀🌷🌷
Thank you Ofra:) You too!
Thought you might like a new comment. I keep the phone where I can see it and to sound in my ear as I lead memory care in your exercises. Thanks sooo much!
Oh, that's a great idea! Thank you for letting me know that:)
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you popped up on my feed 🥰 my 86 year old mom was able to do this workout and she loved your style. She had a stroke this past March and has been diagnosed with mild dementia. Thank you again enjoying all you vids. Your Godsend 🙏🏽 💐💕
Thank you so much for sharing these videos with your mom. I hope she continues to enjoy the variety of workouts. Thank you for letting me know that she's enjoying them.
Thank you for that comment I am going to use this video for my 71-year-old senior citizen mom. Thank you creator for posting this video
@@kinkypro7827 I hope she enjoys it!
i found this work out really useful thank you ❤
Thank you so much for this video❣️🥰 Used this for the first time with my residents, and even the 103 years old one was able to follow & keep up 🤩🙌🏼🙌🏼🤍 Your videos are such a blessing 🙏🏼🤍✨
Oh excellent! Thank you SO much for letting me know that. In case you haven't seen it, I'll add the link to my other channel dedicated to chair exercises: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
@@ImprovedHealth Thank you 🥰
I've been doing exercises like this with the residents at the nursing home, and those who aren't sleeping, just look at me.
The participation will be dependent on the level of dementia. People with early to moderate levels of dementia can follow along, but if someone has advanced dementia, they are no longer able to understand what to do. I work with people with all levels of dementia and most of the people with advanced dementia benefit more from a balloon toss activity (tap a balloon back and forth). Some people love it and get exercise with the activity and other people in advanced stages are no longer able to do that activity either. It’s trial and error to find what works best for each person.
Jules, I have not corresponded for some time, but I have continued to use your excellent exercises. I have had a small problem with one knee; it is almost OK and I do plan to continue your 7-day program soon. I encourage my friends to join your fitness videos that are so good for all ages and all conditions.
Hi Bryan, thanks for taking the time to comment to let me know you're still exercising:) And, thank you so much for sharing the videos with others. The more people we can get to be active, the better! I hope your knee improves for you soon. I put a new gentle workout out today if you're interested.
Thank you for posting. Very easy to follow.
Thank you!
My patient loves this exercise.Thank you for this video
Thank you so much for sharing the video with your patient. I just released a new one last Wednesday for dementia.
I will be using this often to just stretch or warm up. Thank you
My pleasure, Maggi!
Thank you creator for posting this video and making it I am going to use this video for my 71-year-old senior citizen mom that I work with everyday more videos please
Most of my gentle seated workouts would be appropriate for people with dementia as well. If you look at my playlists, you'll find more workouts there. Although, repetition for someone with dementia works well so she may do best doing this one over and over. Just a thought.
I thank-you so very much!
You're welcome! I hope it helped:)
Love this video for my grandma w/dementia. Could you make another one, but longer? I try letting her watch your other videos but sometimes she can't keep with the pace.
Hi! Most of the ones under the gentle level seated workouts should work well. I also have a new channel dedicated to chair workouts. You can find it under ‘channels’ on my main page. Lastly, if you look under my website, I put all of the gentle workouts together there. www.improvedhealthforseniors.com
Thanks so much for your lessons!
Thanks for always taking the time to comment after a workout, Ann.
Jules, this is also a good routine for people with intellectual disabilities . My oldest son is mildly retarded and uses a scooter to get around. he could benefit from these exercise . I’ll send it to him and see if he finds the time to do it. Thanks for all you do, I don’t know how you keep it up with a full time job -Claudia
I really hope he enjoys it, Claudia. As for keeping up, my life is pretty busy, but thankfully I'm highly organized so I can manage:)
Great exercises! thank you! 🤩
Thank you!
This is great for my residence that I work with😊
Thanks for using it with the residents. I’ll have more out soon. If you check out my website, I have all of the gentle ones categorized together.
Thank you for doing this for dementia patients. My mom was able to follow along very well.
Could you do a walking one also? She was having a hard time following along even with your simple one.
The other suggestion I have is calling the video something else instead of using the word dementia. My mom read it out loud. I mean she knows she has dementia(although she may forget sometimes) but she was watching as I chose it. Maybe call it “super simple” or something like that
Hi, I would be more than happy to create a simple to follow walking program for your mom and others with dementia. I understand what you're saying about having the word 'dementia' in the title and having the person with dementia seeing it. I struggled with what to name the videos for exactly that reason. At the same time, I want families to be able to find the videos designed specifically for their loved ones with dementia. I am afraid if I don't have dementia in the title, the person will never find the video on UA-cam. 'Super simple' sounds like a great suggestion. I will continue to give this more thought. Thank you so much for your feedback, I truly appreciate it.
Your mom is okk now
excellent....cant wait to do with my residents
If you go to my website, most of my gentle workouts would work well for people with dementia. www.improvedhealthforseniors.com
@@ImprovedHealth thank you so much!
❤
thank you - will try with my mother!
Awesome. I'm so glad to read that. I hope she'll be up for it. If she doesn't follow along, you can try again another day. I find some days my participants are up for it and other days they just can't cognitively follow along...every day is different in the mind of someone with dementia.
@@ImprovedHealth Thanks - you're right that she balks at doing it, but thus far has done it twice. Second time was just this morning, and she appears to be more alert than yesterday. She can't move her limbs as fast or as high as you do, but said she felt her heart pumping (which is nice to hear). I'll try to help her continue.
@@Chris-jo3nb I'm so glad she agreed to try. A lot of the gentle seated workouts I create would also likely work for your mom so hopefully she'll continue to work out with you supporting her.
Appreciate your videos. Would it be possible to have captions for my elderly aunt who's deaf?
Hi! I'll have to look into it. The problem is that I work full-time in my day job, and then create 2 videos a week for my channels, plus I have a family at home. I only have so much time that I have to dedicate to my channel so writing out the subtitles for each video adds a lot more work. But, I will look into how much time it would take. I definitely want to be inclusive and I think a lot of other seniors would appreciate the subtitles as well. I'll see if it might be possible.
Great content but the transitions from each exercise are too fast. Residents had a hard time keeping up and got confused.
Thank you for the feedback. I have plenty of gentle level workouts so hopefully some of those will work well for your group (just look under the 'gentle level' chair workout playlists). I also started a second channel dedicated to chair workouts and will add the link for you here: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
Lastly, I upload all of the workouts from both channels to my website at www.improvedhealthforseniors.com
I hope that helps.
This is great, now if you can tell me how to get my husband with dementia to do these with me, I'll be grateful, because right now I don't know how and he resists. Please advise.
Hi! I work with people with various levels of dementia. I find most people with early to moderate stages can follow along fairly easily but once it gets to advanced dementia, it becomes more challenging. It's not necessarily that the person doesn't want to, it's more that the person can't due to their brain being unable to tell their body what to do. I don't know what stage your husband is in, but you could put on his favourite music, mute me, and then sit between the TV and your husband and do the movements and gently encourage him to join you. He might not at first, but might start after a few minutes when he sees what you are doing. As a Recreation Therapist, part of the assessment process is to determine what the person CAN do. If they can't follow along in a group class, I'll try 1:1. If they still can't follow along, I try other physical activities. Another great simple physical activity is balloon toss. It sounds childish but it's a great activity because it gets the whole upper body moving. I start by tapping it straight to the person and then I gradually tap the balloon a little to the left or right so they have to reach a little bit more. I only do this activity when the person is seated (standing and tapping the balloon can easily lead to a fall due to medications and lack of balance and awareness with dementia). Using a ball doesn't work as well since I find it often scares people. A beach ball also works but I find balloons work the best since they fall slowly. It can often be difficult to find exercises to keep people with later stages of dementia moving but I hope those tips help.
Buy a rocking chair.
Does it work honestly because if it does I’m seriously starting some exercise for our early onset of dementia Thanks
I created this one as a gentle workout for people with dementia, but most of my gentle seated workouts are suitable. In terms of slowing the progression of dementia, all exercise helps. Exercise is one of the best ways to prevent dementia as well.
Any special exercise that may prevent dementia ? Thanks
All exercise helps...there isn't a particular type of exercise. Getting blood moving through the body and brain is important so ideally exercising every day would be best.
Can you do some chair yogo pls
I am looking into it:) In the meantime, I have more new chair workouts on my new channel in case you're interested: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts
