Enjoy life when you can now.

Those who have household member who suffers from dementia will have their patience, mental strength and lives severely stretched.

Anyone who has a grandmother with dementia would understand and have experienced the below episode


And thats only the initial starting stages when she stil recognises her son or grandson......as the conditions worsens over time..the final terminal stages of dementia would be them living or confined to a world of their own not able to remember or even recognise who their closest sons or grandsons is and having difficulty to feed themselves. Family members would have to be understanding and help out in taking care of her daily needs together with a maid or caregiver.
Speaking from my own experience from my own grandma who passed away a few years ago.

Run (a lot!). Results showed that people who ran over 15 miles per week had a 40% lower risk of dying from Alzheimer's disease. Research has repeatedly demonstrated a correlation between physical exercise and a lower risk of Alzheimer's and other kinds of dementia.

A person with dementia or Alzheimer's disease can be very fixated on certain thoughts or ideas. They often do or say something over and over like in the video.

They can be fixated on an idea like being the target of a consipracy of being cheated off money and then keep on repeating this story over and over. It can be alarming and hurtful for the caregiver to face this kind of behaviour repeatedly on a daily basis.

It's common for dementia or Alzheimer's sufferers to be highly suspicious of others and it doesn't help if there are people who play along this to reinforce this belief. Things are worse if the dementia person's personality is stubborn and reclusive making it harder for anyone to draw them out of this shell.

What they need is a community and more familiar faces on a regular basis to enforce security and peace.
