Television and Movies for People with DementiaBy Brooke DeNisco

People with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia's are often very sensi-tive to emotional and vocal cues. A distressed character in a film or televi-sion show can make someone with dementia feel genuinely upset, even

after the show ends. While it may seem overbearing to “censor” the televi-sion, showing violent programming (including the news) causes unneces-sary anxiety for people with dementia who are contending with so much.

As an activity director, I made unwitting mistakes in my screen selections.For example, I once put on a nature movie that I thought would be very be-

nign for a group of people in a memory care community. One scene featureda blazing forest fire. Shortly after the documentary ended, a community

member began earnestly trying to help everyone out of their rooms to evacu-ate because of “the fire.” High-definition televisions with huge screens can bestartlingly realistic and people may believe that what they see on the screen

is actually in the room, which can be terrifying.

So why not just skip screen time? Because television and movies can bringpeople great joy. Many shows and images are familiar and comforting. Theymay also spark good memories and bring on laughter. When watching with a

group, television can become an easy, low-pressure way to socialize.

Peggy Cahill, program coordinator for the nonprofit Artists for Alzheimer’s(ARTZ), teamed with a movie theater in Massachusetts to produce quarterlymovie events for people with dementia. Her program, featured on the AARP

website, tracks reactions to the film program and collects comment cardsfrom participants’ family members and care staff. She noted, “Many of the

participants came away with more positive moods than usual and a greaterattention span that lasted beyond the theater experience. They were alsomore communicative and engaged with staff and peers and reminisced

about their past.”

It’s impossible to catch every potential trigger in television and movies, but itcan help to have some suggestions to keep near television sets. The Al-zheimer’s Association, A Place for Mom, and AARP have created a list of

shows and movies and can be found on their websites.

Recognizing and Reducing Fall Risk Factors for VariousStages of Alzheimer’s

By Adrienne Lameray

Customer Success Manager, SafelyYou

People living with Alzheimer’s are four to five times more likely to fall than older adults who do not have cognitive impairment.However, the risk of falling varies depending on the stage of Alzheimer’s. Since June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, Iwant to provide a quick overview of the three stages — mild, moderate, and severe — and examine fall risks and preventativemeasures as the symptoms worsen over time.

Mild

In the early stage of Alzheimer’s, a person may function independently. This is not typically a high fall-risk stage unless other healthissues co-exist with cognitive change.

Moderate

During the middle stage of Alzheimer’s, dementia symptoms are more pronounced. The person may confuse words, get frustratedor angry, and act in unexpected ways, such as refusing to bathe. Damage to nerve cells in the brain can also make it difficult for theperson to express thoughts and perform routine tasks without assistance.

� Wandering behaviors can lead to exhaustion and subsequently falls� Losing physical strength and balance� Incontinence can lead to frequent trips to the bathroom — often at night in poor lighting and without mobility aids or

assistance. UTIs can then lead to confusion and discomfort� Experiencing changes in sleep patterns, such as sleeping during the day and becoming restless at night

Severe

In the final stage of the disease, dementia symptoms are severe. Individuals lose the ability to respond to their environment, carryon a conversation, and eventually control movement.

� At this stage, many people living with dementia experience changes in physical abilities, including walking, sitting, and,eventually, swallowing. Some people may not recognize these changes from day to day and attempt certain activities of dailyliving, such as walking, transferring from bed to walker, or changing their clothes without help. These activities can easily lead

to a fall.� Since those living with Alzheimer’s have difficulty communicating, they are often not able to express their needs and desires.

This can unfortunately lead to falls as they attempt to attend to their own unmet needs without assistance.

Reducing the Risk of Falls

To reduce the risk of falls, here are a few key tips to consider:

� Keep frequently used items within reach� Place mobility aid in the best position for self-transfer; remove if unable to self-transfer to avoid cueing� Understand preferences and nighttime routines: lights on/off, TV on/off, toileting, showering, sheets, bed positioning� Take extra care to reduce clutter and ensure clear pathways� Provide comfort; less anxiety and agitation will help calm the person living with Alzheimer’s, so they will, hopefully have fewer

falls
