In this video, Dr. Rabins considers the most difficult behaviors to manage and suggests useful strategies to reduce caregiver stress, minimize time spent in non-productive interactions, and create a better quality of life for patient, family and staff. How should you react when a person with Alzheimer’s refuses to bath? What can you do if a resident in long-term care wanders into other people’s rooms? Many times problems escalate if caregivers respond in frustration or insist on trying to make a person with Alzheimer’s disease do something they don’t want to do. By following suggestions provided in this DVD, confrontations and catastrophic reactions can be avoided so both the caregiver and patient win.
Topics: communication, behavioral problems, catastrophic reactions, caregiver stress
Audience: students in health professional programs, allied health, social work and medicine. Staff development in long-term care, assisted living, adult day care programs.
This program is part of "The Alzheimer's Care Kit" series.
