To say this as a preface, I work in a nursing home in my town. The way I deal with combative patients is always the same, I knock gently and enter the room, walk over and sit down by the bed or on the edge of the bed with the patient and just talk low and gentle about their day and such in an attempt to distract them, had a dementia patient one day who wouldn’t let a single person be with her, but when I went into the room and did what I usually do she sat a little closer and hugged against my arm, holding my arm as if she was scared, I caressed her back and let her keep hugging my arm as I comforted her. Remember, it’s all about approach for the reaction you receive
What the heck was that, that was nothing what I go through. My dementia person it's vicious: slamming, banging, rattling it's surrounding like a gorilla furthermore yelling and threatening to kill.
The problem is, these people don't work. They don't do anything purposeful, meaningful, or useful. Whatever is in front of them is their whole experience. It is their entertainment. It is the source of their troubles. It is YOU, the caregiver. So when this person in their diseased mind decides they are going to be problematic, then it is the caregiver who bares the brunt of it. And they can't and won't be reasoned with. They can't be punished. They will just do whatever they want to you and once you are replaced, they'll do it to the next person too. That's the reality.
😮 listen my friends I respect his approach but in the end this comes of as giving people a reward for there troubling behaviors...some of the people are well versed in the fact that if I act out appropriately they will give me what I want....this does help and is of use in those....make or break situations...however redirection and professional behavior goes a long way....always remember our friends are just like us...human in every way....play the middle ground...and commend them on fighting there battles...but life can be good if we work on ourselves.
Well I'm a 36kg female that weight because food restrictions and slapped because I tried to bring a small bit of food to room. Citing mice. Prone to nocturnal seizures amd do have small piece of food as my blood sugar can get dangerously low. i jave a bmi of 15.4 and osteopenia. It's not always the person at the homes fault. I'm obviously not able to gain weight and getting quite weak now. Once I was more within my senses the individual responsible.was reported. Shed struck me when I took my night medication very cowardly I'm younger I have a history of suicodality. This did nothing for myself worth.
My mom won’t stop screaming at me because “I don’t have her new emails” or “I don’t have her rainbow car” I’m loosing my fucking mind, it’s been 5 months since her TBI and I’m glad she’s finally able to be home and everything, but she’s always confused, always angry, and i just don’t know what to do.
I think you talked too fast and not calm enough in your de-escalation phase - in my security days it was often selling a point that really made sense to the guest why they couldnt or shouldn't do this action at this time . With complex needs that could look like: mild agression (or agitation), what somebody else said about ordering the environment in sync with there memories or speaking to there memories; moderate aggression, eliciting active commands while calm and connecting it back to memories or the days schedule; severe aggression, this really depends on the agencies policies and may look like active hands on to chemical restraint but generally if you can firmly control there physical actions at the same time as setting the boundaries needed and then communicating that barganing or reasoning or compromising can be done when there calm may firmly but respectively manage tge situation in the end you often have to back away, close door, call sevuruty, activate team protocol and then transfer to high observatio

Exactly. Give the person they want or saying something they wan to hear. Always works.
I wish it is this easy. a 200 lb 19 year old yelling and acting in aggression. this is 10% of what I go through as a caregiver.
What the heck was that, that was nothing what I go through. My dementia person it's vicious: slamming, banging, rattling it's surrounding like a gorilla furthermore yelling and threatening to kill.
Kindly educate me how you handle your super aggressive patient
Any tips?
Its not so easy everyone aggression is not the same. Some is worst than some
What if you don’t have an apple juice at hand and the facility only provides at mealtime unless you go to the kitchen to get one?
THANKS !!

Very few times is it that easy....good technique
But why sometimes they can abuse support workers? Support worker also have rights

It's not that easy
For real
Usually I suck all the oxygen out of the room and only until they say sorry do I reoxygenate
Exactly. What about the grown man that's 3 times your size & is trying to bite you, pull your hair, & hit you? How do you deal with that??

With complex needs that could look like:
mild agression (or agitation),
what somebody else said about ordering the environment in sync with there memories or speaking to there memories;
moderate aggression,
eliciting active commands while calm and connecting it back to memories or the days schedule;
severe aggression,
this really depends on the agencies policies and may look like active hands on to chemical restraint but generally if you can firmly control there physical actions at the same time as setting the boundaries needed and then communicating that barganing or reasoning or compromising can be done when there calm may firmly but respectively manage tge situation
in the end you often have to back away, close door, call sevuruty, activate team protocol and then transfer to high observatio
Goofy ahh video 💀
