At 96, it is impossible to keep a dementia person from sleeping during the day. Even with the blinds opened and the tv on. Ya just gotta let them sleep. Trust me we've tried to keep oir loved one awake but it doesn't work at that age.
The test questions. How about introducing the option of assisting service users to simply get up when they have finished sleeping and keeping them company ???? Why does it have to be sedation? The service user may have been a night shift worker for all of their lives and unable in their older years to change their bodily cycles, dreadful dvd with no person centred care, just offering coping strategies that suit the convenience of the paid carers as a priority. Absolutely disgraceful!
I have read all the comments and they are only for criticizing. For people like me who have no knowledge of the subject, this style is actually quite useful and practical for the learning. Where are those videos that are better? Please pass link if they exist. Otherwise, these are the best tutorials I found here (the rest are just fancy doctors citing bullet-points)
Whacky training videos! I see how staff might appreciate the humour, but I don't think it would do anything to allay the concerns of the resident's loved ones if they knew that such methods had been used.
I see the humor in this because I work full time on a Dementia Unit and honestly, sometimes there are funny moments and sometimes you chuckle at the actions NOT THE PEOPLE. If this was not made as an informative video and showed the life of a worker in a Dementia Unit and how sometimes it is off the wall! However this shouldn't be a training video
What a bunch of CRAP! Take camera to real people suffering for real! Not this pseudo-hollywood pretentious , SCRIPTED CRAP! What a waste of time. Let me give you a smile and hug, now the patient is ready to sing & dance & laugh & milk&cookies on the table! Goodnight John-Boy, goodnight Maryellen, goodnight Ben, goodnight Elizabeth, Goodnight ma, Goodnight Jason! Plz!
You should not poke fun at our seniors or their conditions. You should never show your associates sleeping on the job. Not a good video. Stopped at 7:27.
this vid is a teaching video....humor helps the learning process.

Using the word demented is discriminating and labeling a person. They should know better.

Wrong on so many levels.
Too childish. Couldn’t finish watching.
Very upsetting video. Had to stop watching.

You could do without the comic relief. Not funny at all.
