I know you love getting her out, but Mama loves her apartment and running those halls. I think the days of going out might be gone. She doesn’t care and you take such great care of her! I follow several people who have a parent in a facility due to Alzheimer’s or dementia and girl NO one visits and spoils like you do and I LOVE it! My mama was diagnosed 3 months ago. She told my sister and I that she wants to go to a facility when she can no longer care for herself, but to please promise we would visit. I told her I will be there everyday! You are an amazing daughter Crystal!!
🥰🥰🥰 She can’t always stay in there. There are times when they have call outs and are very short staffed. I’m not staying there for 8 hours until the next shift arrives so she has to come home. She is fine. It’s hard work but we get through it.
@@divasanddementia4925 oh I didn’t realize that. Well you do a great job girl!
And I forgot….I don’t love getting her out. LOL Sometimes it’s just necessary.
I just have to tell you. You are amazing and doing a beautiful job with your mom. It makes my heart smile when I see you loving on your mom like you do.❤
@@divasanddementia4925are you sure that YOUR mama isn't MY mama ??? I'm an only remaining " child". (I'm 63 this year).
You’re the best daughter a mother could ever ask for ❤❤.. I salute you tremendously, may you be blessed😇
She sure was sittin' up there lookin' innocent with her pretty self! KNOW she was terrorizing! 😂 God bless you and your mama! 💕
Lol!!! "I'll... See... You... In.... The... Mornin" is her polite way of saying "G'one na! Get on way from hea." Lol!!!
Mama Norma says, “ She is going to drive you around” 🤣😂❤
I've been an aide for 17 years and it's definitely hard work so thank you your mama is precious ❤❤❤❤❤
Mama Norma so busy😅😂😅..babay,she give you a run for your money
You need a medal honey❤❤
Patience is the key..Lord have Mercy. I did this for 25 plus years. Working with the elderly and dementia. The struggle is real,love them to death. God Bless you and Mommy ❤.
Ma be tearing it up😂😂
Heyyy,Crystal..❤ That side eye wasn't playing...🥰. That's Norma🤣🤣
I love how patient you are with your mother ❤❤❤❤❤
Love her clothes, and beautiful home.😊
This brought back memories with my Mom, now my Brother 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾Beautiful Daughter the patience she gave her Mother touch my Heart ❤️
I subscribed 1 video in! Hooked. Ms Norma is cute and her walking makes me tired! You are doing great with her fiesty self. 🙏🏾💜
You guys have made my Sunday I think you guys need a reality TV show 😂😂😂😂😂😂
We’ve been told. 🤣🤣🤣
She's sooooo sweet and you're so patient with her. Such a beautiful lady. ❤❤❤
Your mother is beautiful. Love how sweet you are with her🥰 I watch 2 other channels of people dealing with loved ones with dementia and it’s nice to see this perspective as well. Thnx for sharing 🫶🏿
You dress her so nice❤
So sad to see but unfortunately decline is imminent. Beautiful lady. Best wishes to you and your family.
Thank you! For some reason, I think I was handpicked for this assignment. Because I just don’t see it as sad. I see it as a part of life. It’s nothing I can do about it so I accept it as our new normal with grace. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. If I looked at this as sad, my journey would be ROUGHER! 🥰🥰🥰
@@divasanddementia4925most people don't realize God says to take care of our elderly parents. They don't plan for it. It cramps their style so they put them in a home and don't see about them because they can't handle their behavior. We have to treat them as a child if needed
AMEN!!!@@divasanddementia4925
You are a very good daughter to take your mom on outings but she’s at the stage now of not remembering the outings, the old mama/Norma you knew is long gone. God bless you dear and all of the caregivers at the facility.
You are a great daughter. I know this is really hard, and i shows that you love your mother. Hang in there sis.
Thank you, I will. 🥰
Hi, She (your mom) is such a sweetheart♥ I enjoy sitting with the elderly (they have the best nuggets). Thanks for sharing~
O.M .G. the look she gave you after you said please don't break my car bahahahaha I almost fell out! 😂😂😂
You are patience with Mom. Love it.
She be Dressing Yall with Her Beautiful Self!!❤
SHE'S BEAUTIFUL GOD BLESS BOTH ❤❤❤
Love watching y’all videos(here and TikTok)my mom has dementia as well and it’s a job it’s self🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🙏🏾🙏🏾but I refuse to put her in a home because those folks are so irresponsible when it comes to elders‼️‼️😡😡But you take good care of your mom and I appreciate you sharing her with us because that helps me look after my mom🫶🏾🫶🏾much love and respect from Charlotte NC🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
🤣 the look!!! Y’all are funny! Momma something else❤
This life isn't easy. But God Bless you
lol “Who told you I couldn’t drive”. She is too much😅
Shew Crystal 😅, Norma really be tearing up stuff 😂. Just got a mean streak 😂. You’re doing a fantastic job taking care of her ❤. Love you guys !
🤣🤣🤣 thank you! My hands are FULL!
Momma will have a ball in that big beautiful home! I totally understand there’s no way possible you can watch her there. Momma is so sweet❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽
❤ mama😂😂😂
Norma knew William RIGHT away!! Yessss❤
Norma still strapped!!!😇🥰🥰
You are so diligent Chile!!! I’m a RN, and I would’ve been calling for the CNA and Nurses to aid with sweet mama after 20 mins😂😂😂
You seem to be doing a great job with your mama! I love watching your videos! God bless you!🙏🏾
Your so sweet with your mom.❤
And beautiful home!
My mom had it but she shut down God bless you cause you got to have patience with them ❤
😂😂😂 SHES INNOCENT
I was a CNA for 12 1/2 years. Most days was very challenging & stressful. At the end of the day is very rewarding. Trust and believe Praying is much needed. It’s also a sad situation to see your loved ones go through difficult times like this. Continue prayers for your Momma, You, Your Family & all the Staff Members! ❤️🙏🏾💪🏾
Norma dressed fly from head to toe. Yeessssss
Wheeeeww Chile....I salute you my friend!! This is a whole lot, praying for you and your husband's continued patience and healing for your mom.🫶🏾
Bless her heart she is over stimulated from her outing I know when our residents return from a family outing it takes them a while to wind down expcelly when they sun down
I absolutely love y'all!❤❤
I love this for her. Wen did she start having issues with dementia? She looks very young. Y’all are doing an amazing job with her and that’s the important part.❤
Started in her late 60s. She wil be 79 this year.
I take ❤care of my mom also. It can be a challenge sometimes but we love 💖 them to death.
Beautiful lady and you are making sure it stays that way!!
Sending you strength and love
You have a beautiful home sis ❤… sooo blessed. Mrs Norma keeping you busy lol
I love her so much,Hi mother
Much respect to you, it hard to become the adult over your mom's once adult and twice a child which is part of dementia. Please remember to take good care of yourself for your momma as well. God bless you and your beautiful momma.
Thank you for sharing this personal journey. It's a teachable moment for many, including myself. Dementia is real.
Blessing from PA, wish I could be there to help!!
WHO TOLD YOU SHE CAN'T DRIVE 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
God Bless you Crystal.
Ms. Norma let's no grass grow under her feet. :) 😏
New sub! Your mom is adorable and her hair is beautiful. We have experienced dementia in our family multiple times and currently with God Parents. Who told you she can’t drive? 🤩 Don’t drive to fast down there. 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
May God Bless you both❤
Scolding her is not a good idea. Join a support group. You must accept that "Norma" you knew is gone mentally. ❤
Hey friend! If you’ve been watching these two for a while, the daughter has done a phenomenal job entering the world of her mother. Shes very playful with her mother. I wouldn’t consider it scolding. It could look like that but she is feet playful & respectful to her mother.
I am just beginning the journey with my mother. 😢 It's sad to see her slowly lose control of her thought processes.
God bless you in every possible way.
You have a beautiful home, and a beautiful heart, continue to love on her.
Awwww, momma had enough of you. She said “I’ll see you in the morning” ❤❤
I love your moms outfits! Where do you get her clothes with her name on them? I am a caregiver to my older sister whom also has Dementia and would love to buy her some of the outfits.
The way she snatched them gloves then tried to implicate you in the theft TB “here”!😂😂😅😅😅
Mama said do your own nails..she tired❤😂😂
Yall make my day❤❤❤
Divas with dementia ❤❤❤i love that. So smart hi mom
I love the wzy you talk to & take care of mama norma, but I agree with the person that said maybe it's time to just visit mama norma at her apt. I got kinda of nervous watching you trying to get her out &into the car. So very glad things worked out this time. Luv u guys❤❤❤
Oh my gosh love you both so mych oh you wonderful daughter how i adore you ❤
She is a doll. You are an awesome daughter. ❤
Our mother has dementia and she lives with me and my husband and we both work I am a PCA and I take her to work with me so I have her 24 hours a day it's hard right now she's in her early stages but she's not going anywhere I stay in prayer
Blessings can you make a idea speaking to us when you noticed signs that your mother was facing dementia
God bless u you have a lot of patience
My mom suffers from diabetes which took away her ability to remember. She has not been officially diagnosed with Dementia but has the predisposition for it. Thanks for being an example
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Oh oh no driving!

I love Crystal's video being a caretaker isn't easy I believe that.

Blessing on Blessings To: Everyone!💜🙏🏼🌍✝️💃🏾🏆🏠💜💜💜💜🥰😇🙏🏼Love💜 From Hamden CT. 💜🙏🏼👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💜💜💜👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I understand your pain I work at a facility where I have 14 Alzheimer's patients..
😂😂😂
Who told you that I cant drive lol
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🥰🥰🥰
Not the baby looking for you😂
She acts just like my mom! I know what you are going through. My mom's nickname is NON-STOP. She relocates everything, ALL DAY. OK really doesn't mean OK. And she is like a wrecking ball. Very destructive for a little woman. And she loves to collect random junk and trash! If it's not bolted down, she'll walk off with it! She is EXHAUSTING! They need to come up with a chill pill for dementia patients! It is getting harder to cope with every day!
Don’t be drag racing Crystal. Momma got her eye on you.😂
I thought she was Camille Cosby, Bill Cosby's wife.
