This is by far the best vid I’ve seen on Sundowning. Excellent . I’m surprised this hasn’t been viewed 1000x more. Thank you❤ my mom is going through is with Vascular Dementia now and as her daughter and caregiver I greatly appreciate this info ❤
Thank you SOOOOoooo very much for this lecture! I am a caregiver for my mom who is experiencing Alzheimer’s. When Mom has a sun downing episode what works well for us is I tell her that she is safe with me in this place. We turn on UA-cam or other streaming services for videos of travel shows that she loves and she steps into THAT reality instead. I usually give her a cup of cocoa and she feels content. If I see her starting to disorient, I start to ask her about details from the show. This re-orients her back to the program where she was previously focused and she gets back into the adventure of travel or wildlife stories once more. We’ve done this routinely now for over a year and for her it works well. I also remind her that she is going to feel great after she has a good night’s sleep. Thankfully she usually does sleep fairly well and when morning arrives she has “reset” her abilities once more. Thank you again for this excellent presentation on sun downing. It is the best one On UA-cam and has a tremendous amount of helpful information! 😊
You’ve mentioned therapies such as music and aromatherapy however have you seen the Nightingale research on Hypnotherapy. Seven areas of dementia improved with Hypnotherapy in a controlled study . Works well for pain also
This sun downing syndrome is terribly sad but it is also frustrating and sometimes downright infuriating. I used to have more compassion for my Dad but after months of caring for him every day , I am not only losing patience and hope but I get a case of what they call “shaken baby syndrome “ when related to infants but I get it related to my Dad’s daily hours and hours of crying
My mom thinks my brother and sister steals her meds and she thinks that someone mainly my brother is coming in her house stealing everything food her medicine what can we do for paranoia thank you
Thank you for your excellent tips about care. My sister has sundowning. I'd never heard of it before a few months ago.

I'm with these troubles and this lecture has helped me so much. I took screenshots so I can make posters for my nursing home if you don't mind.
