Her schedule is set in stone, and we don't do anything to upset that. The last time was really Christmas party at the nursing home, and i learned from that not to make a big deal over holidays or special occasions. 5. I learned to quit arguing to correct things and to enter her reality. 6. Oxygen therapy. 7. Caregiving by trained 'dementia" carers in a place where they can go home when they are off work and leave it aone and live a life free of dementia. When you caregive 24/7 there is no downtime for you and you can't help but get impatient every once in a while. i've never seen a caregiver at childers ever be anything but kind and patient. Unlike me, I'm not trained in that, and I would lose my patience. Judy Dendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06995180063993963500noreply@blogger.com
