Dementia...how fast does it progress?!


Question: Dementia!.!.!.how fast does it progress!?
My client has had progressive dementia ever since I came on 4 months ago!. What is the progressive rate!? At present, she thinks her husband is her grandfather, and getting deeper into the past!. Does anything think that by organizing her Kitchen, that this contributed to the progressive rate!? I have a jealous caregiver who relieves me who does, and is trying to tell the family it is my fault that the client is worsening!. Any comments please!.!.!.

The progressive rate depends solely on the individual-- each person progresses at a different rate!. You should keep things as simple and similar as possible!. They often remember routines, where things go, where they place things on a day to day basis, simple tasks that never differ much, like putting on clothing the longest!. By changing/rearranging things you are contributing to her being more confused than normal, not necessarily making her worse but at the same time you are not helping either!. Try to keep things as simple and "similar" or unchanging as possible, this will help her more than anything!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Health professionals should work with the person and his or her family to improve mental function as much as possible!. Adjustments to the home can make the person's life easier and safer!. You can install handrails in showers and remove rugs to improve safety!. Calendars and lists can aid memory; you can place sticky notes or signs with pictures on them around the house to help the person remember where objects are stored and to guide the person to the bathroom or kitchen!.
