Its certainly a slippery and ever changing slope. Using one technique one day might not work the next day. Staying present and understanding. Lots of good examples here. Thanks!!!
You can watch and learn or learn over time. Best thing I found was patience and getting myself right before entering, by simply breathing and saying to myself, "I love my mother. This is not about me, it's all about my lovely, beautiful mom". Then enter. And when I bring pictures, cards or memories about the past with me, it's the best way for her brain to warm up and clear up. Then we have a good time.
I see alot of comments about persons saying the residents won't always calm down this easily. But the point of this video I'm sure is to show US the Caregivers how we should react in situations like these. The patience and insight of "Sandy" in the scenarios are golden. Definitely how our attitude should be.
Should it tho? She is guilty of neglect of all her other residents. No b&b no getting them a shower no changing a incontinence res. Just an hour reading a mag during one on one? It's easy for a CNA in skilled to be running 3 halls about 60 hr's alone! Cause a nurse didn't go to school to do aid work thats what poor people do
Thank God, redirection helps 🙂 Yes, it's difficult when they are stuck on something. But it's all about learning what helps. It takes time and patience indeed.
These redirection scenarios all show the patient agreeing and calming down . In real life, some patients refuse redirection and become aggressive and accusatory, no matter what the caregiver tries to do to help. What is the next step when this occurs?
@@Rob-eo5ql yea and take care of the actively dieing do showers make sure that the 60 people that are assigned eat, do post mortem care all while sum lazy nurse sits and dose shit but chart the observation of there staff that they won't get up and help.

People who have had a strong Faith life may benefit from sharing in reading and prayers. When it was vital in someone's life before, with all of tools regularly available, guiding and leading them back to their Faith life and the bible is comforting. It worked over the phone with my former mother in law recently ❤. I didn't plan it but it came out and grace was able to get back in. I don't know if there are trained ministers but it seems most soothing with a family member or perhaps people who were regularly in contact helps more. There are many tools a person of Faith can use even with those who care for them in these facilities. I'm learning and hopefully can share with others whatever I learn. Although understand it isn't an experiment it is a ministry apparently ❤
It takes skill and experienxe to practice this successfully in real life. It took me 2 years. It works!!!! You just have to practice to get better at it. I've been cursed so many times and even bullied by residents but when you lose cool or patience or take it personally, you lose.
Wow 2 whole years !! And it works!! Well wow good job!! 2 year your still green as hell probly only worked one place and more than likely not a memory care unit. I think u need a broader view of the real world of nursing.
Very educational . Thanks for uploading. Some people still see a lot of negative points . The video might be played by actors, but the method of approach to these scenario is smart and correct.
I found the negativity on the CG's part quite discerning, but I did learn about the underneath handholding a new technique for myself. It was a great video. Thanks for being there to show extra visual help. Very helpful!!! :)
It's really difficult with my grannie cause she doesn't like ANY activity... There's barely anything that she enjoys doing (mind you she's 90 y.o) and it's really difficult to redirect her without her feeling useless because in the memories she has, she was a strong and independent woman and has never needed anyone's help to do anything. Her husband passed away when they were in their late 20s so she doesn't remember a lot about my grandpa... I just wish she'd be at peace and find something or some activity that soothes her and keeps her calm.
I work with dementia. I truly understand. It’s pure unfair how they make the caregiver seem idiotic and unsympathetic to the persons needs. Not how it is in real life at all. I’m a human too. Especially if there is no ratio between caregivers and patients and that’s the truth, sorry. I care, I truly do. These people built our world and I respect that but they are gonna wanna do what they wanna do at the end of the day. We have to be more flexible and have more people on staff.
@@mikethomas5927 I replied to one of your comments already. I’m glad someone feels the way I do because it’s not only unfair to us as staff but to the older generations we care for too.
I didn’t even get training in this I just intuitively did this, I knew they where upset because they where confused so changed that upsetness to curiosity and even joy by redirecting their thoughts. In our care home, that cat was the best redirection ever lol it was cute and fluffy they loved it 😂
This is surprising that people need to be told these things. This isn't for just people with dementia. This aplies to everyone. Human beings also get agitated when hungry thirsty tired or need,to use the bathroom?? I agree that we need,to,learn to help those who have and to understand the process of Alzheimer's. But these tips at the beginning can be applied to anyone
Omg yes your right all people but all people don't know what that want or need ie dem alt. You can do what they say they want done and that's not going to help anything. Most aids in skilled are way under payed and have far to many residents. If I 60 residents on my 2 halls cause staffing issues I have no time for one on one, but boy do the owners and stock holders love it!!! More money in less money out!! Health care SHOULD NOT BE A FOR PROFIT Industry!!! Oh your sick and need help? How much money u got?profiting off no just others illness but by not ensuring their staff is payed bare minimum. Rich people love more money, not doing what's right
3rd question though, the smile on that girl's face (with A answer) i laughed so hard ahahaha coz in my mind that would be what i would sarcastically think but still do the right thing, then laugh about it with the staff during break time.
I thought parts of this were a spoof! What's up with that BTV it was like watching Re-Animator vs Bill Nye the science guy. Interesting video but could have been a bit more slick.
Tried to hear the information from the doctor who was showing the brain, it was difficult to grasp the info due to the annoying music in the background.
I have had to deal with all of these issues.The frustrating thing about where I work is that there is very minimal training of the workers.That's why I have to educate myself by watching utube.Sometimes these techniques work but not always.
These are helpful, but instead of having someone like Clara, it'd be more helpful to have someone well-meaning, but somewhat ignorant as to what to do (in these scenarios). Like someone who listened to the old man, but forgot to suggest an activity or something. I can't imagine anyone getting very far behaving as Clara actress was, and we in medical field should know better than to be that derogatory!
How do you work with people who are in their first stages and refuse to cooperate no matter what? They understand they have choices and won't allow others to help when it's neded.
They understand they have choices, and you should, too. It's ok to recognize and acknowledge that other people are separate beings, and not extensions of yourself.
Yes. That’s a big issue. I face it daily. So far I have been able to do everything right. But I have been doing it for 7 yrs. I really need help now. Insurance does not provide what I need.
Today, I had to take the car keys and driver’s license, from my husband who’s getting forgetful. While I was out for my morning walk, he couldn’t find his wallet, so he drove to the store anyway, and had the cashier look up his credit card in order to pay for his purchase. We turned the the house and vehicles upside down before he found it under his chair. I’m worried, scared, and petrified of what’s coming ahead. I’m not good at asking for help at all.
Ok maybe use footage of actual patients in these situations of stress and use these methods. Explain how sometimes it works and show footage of a patient not taking at all to these methods and what is done at that point? this is fake and makes the care giver student believe it is this easy and honestly its not by any means
It's an introduction to elder care. You can get into the difficult situations later, but you obviously can't use images of actual patients having difficulties because family members would rightfully sue.
Have you lost your mind?? You are suggesting that a patient who can not give consent to be in a video where they will be on display to the world. Medical students following around a doctor who is teaching in a private environment is not the same as what you are suggesting. The patients privacy and dignity always come first!
Those who want to go out u could take them out for a few minutes if it’s decent weather have a nice conversation then bring them back in and do an activity
Kk great idea till they don't want to come in the what? You gotta be the bad guy , grab a wc put them in it and take them in. Congrats, u just made it 10x worse
I love how idiotic they make caregivers seem. Even the nicest approach in your mind won’t work always. If only they would’ve shown how a real dementia ward functions and always very understaffed. Almost no time for one on care, even though I’m extremely passionate about caring for the older generations.
@@mikethomas5927 I’m glad finally someone understands. It’s very frustrating that all the blame from the family is put on you when in reality it’s the organization that doesn’t give a shit. All they care about is money and they hope residents die soon is how I feel.
Yea your right the bosses making real money and stock holders don't care about noting but how to increase their profits. While the people who do the work because they do care get shafted, but hey corporate managent has gotta get their bonus . And then spit this shit that no one gets into health care to get rich.. yea they did, but I also shouldn't work 60 to 80 hrs a week to still be in poverty
@@mikethomas5927 EXACTLY! Right on the money. That’s corporate America at its finest. And then they have the audacity to make a video like this and make us seem like dicks and imbeciles.
I always thought I see my Grandparents at home ..They passed away while with family unless admissions to Hospital But we I started Nursing..Omg its 😖 hard to see this
Can't use a g chair or lap buddy or merri walker, or lap buddy, or body alarms, or seatbelts or mittens, hell I can't even legally lock a resident wheelchair wheels.so they have altimers , dementia a&o×0 must have a poa make decisions for them, but yet they have their rights. Ok what rights?
Wow, yea this is how it works smfh. Redirection is a great technique, but sum get s riled up that they are in redirect able. And then it's a domino effect. A quiet room or change of subject but if the also become manic. And at that point they just go around race track over and over and over again with each lap they get worse and worse and worse to the point that they start agitating my other residents. To the point that thay beging to act out. My only option was to remove all other residents from the situation. And that worked for a few weeks then when one day when I did this, which is not far to every other residents. She just stared going into rooms yelling waking other residents up telling them she wants to die, we won't let her see her kids, we won't let her call her parents to come get her (92 yr old?) We won't let her out (at 11pm to go get help?)..... So cool story bro. But old girl smart sandy is dealing with pleasantly confused one on one, lol I wish that was a real thing. Fast food workers make more money per hr than cnas . This is a joke. Great vid for best case non realistic rediction
of course this is probably a training video for nurses in the nursing home to deal with dementia patients.this is also good for caregivers too who's families have it.
Those with dementia do not have the capacity to give written consent to being filmed or having their medical conditions broadcasted. Medical confidentiality is very strict
From Google Does dementia come from the word demented? Someone is demented when they have gone off the deep end. Demented literally means "suffering from dementia," although in current culture it is used quite often to tease a sibling or good friend: "My brother thinks I am demented because I like to eat peanut butter and salami sandwiches
I’d figure out when his wife’s going to come then write it down and give him the paper that says when she’s coming and remind him to read it (if he’s capable)
What if his wife died last year? Your answer shows you have absolutely no idea how to communicate with people with dementia. You are trying to apply logic to an illogical situation. You are trying to reason with someone incapable of reason. Please educate yourself, you are not helping anyone or anything by adding your your extremely uneducated opinion.
If you want to relieve the symptoms of Alzheimer's or dementia disease take an eyebrow tweezers and remove the hair follicles from the patients hands, feet, and wrists. This should have an immediate effect on their well being.

It is pretty scary that this type of language is still out there being used. Some good information but the derogatory language just makes my hackles rise.. Demented ?? Acting out????
Did you know that the word "idiot" was far from derogatory originally? You can't go back in time to change it to something that's more PC today, so you have to deal with reality and when you read it in old literature, repeat to yourself, "The author isn't being derogatory. The author used the term that was respectful in his own time." Anything else is denial of reality. And do you know why terms become "derogatory"? Because insecure people look for weaknesses to exploit to make others feel bad. Then instead of standing up to the bully, the nice people go find another term, which will be turned into an insult within 5 years max.
Whatever terms you come up with will become the new derogatory as soon as everyone learns what they are 🙄 I've seen so many replacement terms cycle in and out. Meanwhile you can't alter the printed literature or published videos. It's smarter to just stand up to bullies instead of letting them chase you around the playground.
Its certainly a slippery and ever changing slope. Using one technique one day might not work the next day. Staying present and understanding. Lots of good examples here. Thanks!!!

Rebecca Bixler active listening. Remove the audience. Keep them safe.
i know right, but yeah last resort is to get the other residents away from the one having a behaviour.
Put them in a fight club!
Make sure they are safe leave alone and re approach later YOU take a break off the unit
fight them with a book
On a real nursing no aide would have time to sit and read a magazine

Labeling !
