How to Change Patterns of Behavior inward Alzheimer's together with Dementia Patients
Did you lot always think to yourself, "I wonder if I could supercede the bad patterns of demeanour that are driving me crazy alongside novel positive patterns of behavior?" I did.
I wonder if Alzheimer's caregivers think well-nigh patterns of demeanour when it comes to caring for mortal living alongside Alzheimer's illness or a related dementia. Many patients evidence patterns of demeanour that drive Alzheimer's caregivers nuts or worse.
Patterns — all Alzheimer's patients evidence patterns of behavior. Some of the patterns are simple, similar quest over together with over, "What solar daytime is it?" Others are to a greater extent than complex. One reader told us her hubby was shaving 4 times a day, together with his aspect upward was getting raw. Other patients pace. The listing goes on together with on.
My woman nurture was evidencing all kinds of patterns of behavior, doing the same crazy things, at the same fourth dimension of solar daytime or night, over together with over. At some 9:37 pm at night, my woman nurture would acquire upward together with denote that she needed to start cleaning the menage — I'm talking every night. Imagine trying to explicate to mortal living alongside Alzheimer's that it is nighttime together with you lot don't build clean at bedtime. I'm non certain how many times I did this — to a greater extent than than I desire to remember. It didn't work; explaining doesn't work.
My woman nurture would wake upward at 1:29 inward the morning, at 4:29 inward the morning. Each together with every time, I would leave of absence of bed, stand upward dorsum together with scout her produce it. I did non [inaudible 01:32] intervene because I had learned that was non helpful together with would only brand things worse. After a yr or so, I lastly started to empathize why she was doing this.
After a yr or then of reading inquiry well-nigh Alzheimer's illness together with dementia, I came to a conclusion: do was of import — an of import variable inward caring for mortal alongside Alzheimer's.
So what I did was enroll my woman nurture inward gym shape for the initiative of all time, when she was 87 years old. At first, I pose her inward a seniors shape — it's called Silver Sneakers. That helped.
One day, I decided to pose her on a treadmill. She resisted, but she did it. Then something started to occur that changed our lives. My woman nurture would start walking on a treadmill together with at the sixth infinitesimal 36th minute mark, she would curvature over similar she was going to fall. However, her feet kept moving, then I but allow her go. At the seventh infinitesimal mark, she would stand upward dorsum upward instantly together with start walking. This happened every unmarried fourth dimension together with it amazed me. But at that spot was a clearly defined pattern — patterns of behavior.
I came to a conclusion — through observing patterns — that most Alzheimer's patients select patterns. And some of these patterns are goodness together with some are bad.
I also realized, secondly, that most people without Alzheimer's select patterns of behavior. In other words, nosotros produce the same things, about the same fourth dimension of day, over together with over.
Patterns of demeanour convey homeostasis into our lives. Having well-defined patterns of demeanour brings comfort, organization, together with a sense of stability into our lives. The fact that nosotros alive a life of patterns also helps explicate why most of us don't similar alter together with why nosotros resist change.
I idea to myself, "What if I could alter my mother's bad patterns of demeanour together with channel her unloosen energy into something to a greater extent than positive? Change the bad patterns into something good."
I decided to innovate an exclusively novel laid upward of behaviors together with actions into our lives. Over time, I introduced ane novel demeanour afterwards some other until nosotros reached the betoken where our days were organized inward a means that made each solar daytime really similar to the ane that came earlier it. Our solar daytime had a really well-defined pattern together with then did our daily actions together with activities.
In other words, nosotros got into a routine — but similar you're inward a routine inward your life together with I acquire into routines inward my life.
Here's an event of how it worked: Instead of waiting for my woman nurture to inquire me, "What solar daytime is it?" — meaning, what solar daytime of the calendar week — I pose the paper inward front end of her each morn together with I asked her, "What solar daytime is it?" Then, '"What is today's date?" She would read this to me from the transcend of the newspaper.
Over the years, I cured my woman nurture of meanness, getting upward inward the middle of the night, urinary incontinence, together with the dreaded bowel motion problem. I did this past times introducing novel patterns of demeanour together with novel tools into our daily equation.
