It is non odd for a individual living amongst dementia to tell NO. NO, when you lot inquire them if they desire to produce something.

The discussion NO stops virtually Alzheimer's caregivers correct inwards their tracks.

I know what this feels like, I stopped as well as gave upward when Dotty said NO for years.

I stopped fifty-fifty though I knew that Dotty didn't hateful NO. I stopped fifty-fifty though I knew if I could teach Dotty to produce what I wanted to do, she would taste it.

The worst purpose of accepting the discussion NO inwards our illustration was simple, I already knew that if I could teach Dotty to engage inwards activity she would hold upward happier, "more there", as well as easier to bargain amongst that day.

NO is a killer word.

There is about other dire effect of the discussion NO inwards the Alzheimer's lexicon. I hateful who wants to hear the discussion NO all the time. It is a negative word. But, it doesn't destination there. Often when a caregiver accepts the discussion NO, as well as then they don't teach to engage inwards the activity they are suggesting. Sometimes they merely remain dwelling when the Alzheimer's patient tells them, I don't desire to go. NO.

It is at this indicate that Alzheimer's caregiving tin teach depressing.

Dotty oftentimes startles me fifty-fifty though she is inwards the moderate to severe phase of Alzheimer's as well as scored fourteen the final fourth dimension she took the MMSE.

The next interaction took house dorsum inwards June.

As before long equally nosotros neared the pool, Dotty started. I'm non going inwards the pool. As nosotros were trying to create upward one's hear whether or non to decease into the pool, Dotty continued to say, I am non going inwards the water.

On the means out Dotty wanted to know why nosotros didn't decease into the water. I said to her, because you lot said NO you lot weren't going into the water.

Dotty as well as then said, "you know when I tell NO that doesn't hateful anything, its merely the easiest affair to say".

So at that spot you lot go, correct out of the rima oris of a individual that has Alzheimer's. NO doesn't actually hateful NO inwards Alzheimer's World.

It is merely the easiest affair to say.
