Have A Little Compassion

By: Michelle Remold

Anyone who has experienced Alzheimer’s or dementia in any way knows that things don’t always go smoothly.  The individual with the disease may have behavioral issues. These can be anything from yelling to laughing at inappropriate times. When at home, these disruptions might be easier to remedy, but while in public the issue of how to deal with the behaviors comes to the forefront.

As a friend, caregiver, spouse, or family member there is the option of explaining to those around you that the person has Alzheimer’s or dementia, but that can get old pretty quickly. I don’t think anyone wants to have to explain something every time it occurs. As a society however, I think there are things we can do to help those involved feel as though an explanation is not necessary.

First, I think staring can be a problem. While out, someone yelling may disrupt what we are doing, but does staring really solve anything? Place yourself in their shoes, I’m sure having people stare or give you looks is very awkward.

I also think that having compassion can make a large difference as well. Think about what they might be feeling or dealing with and how you would want to be helped or approached. A little compassion can go a long way and I think that it can be overlooked at times.

Overall, I think tolerance and patience are important. Whether it’s a child crying, someone singing loudly, or whatever it maybe, try to be a little more tolerant; you never know what the situation maybe. I think that if someone has personally gone through similar situations it may be easier to be more patient, but I think that it is something we should strive for. After all, everyone can use a little support and it is nice knowing people are behind you.

Not Just Your Run of The Mill Resolution

By: Michelle Remold

With the start of a new year just around the corner everyone is coming up with new resolutions for the year. For some, these resolutions include things such as losing weight, walking more, not eating out as much or just all around being healthier.  While these are good resolutions, why not make Alzheimer’s or dementia the focus of just one of your resolutions? There are many ways to do this.

Learn more about Alzheimer’s and dementia. Expanding one’s knowledge isn’t a bad thing. Learn more about these diseases or just even take a look at the statistics. Each person who learns about Alzheimer’s and dementia is another person who can help spread awareness and who can share information on these diseases. I like to read personal stories about people who have been affected by Alzheimer’s or dementia, it helps to give me a feel for how each diagnosis is truly different.

Volunteer with people who have Alzheimer’s or dementia. Skilled nursing facilities love volunteers. You can volunteer to do a variety of things. Help with activities on a dementia care wing, help bring residents to activities, be a companion to someone with dementia or their caregiver; there are so many possibilities, it just takes time to find them and one that would interest you and fit your skills.

Learn how to interact with those with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Much of this will come from experience, but once you learn how to interact, it doesn’t go away. I think that in learning how to interact with two grandparents with Alzheimer’s and dementia, and the residents where they, lived has taught me to be a more compassionate and more patient person in general. You never know what you might learn.

Each of these ideas can be rewarding and help expand one’s knowledge of Alzheimer’s and dementia. Whatever your resolutions are for this year, I wish everyone the best of luck and a great 2014.
