Dress Him While He Walks: Management in Caring For Residents with
Alzheimer's. A 20-minute video program. 1993. Alzheimer's Association,
Miami Valley Chapter.
Synopsis: This sensitive and realistic video addresses
several difficult behavior patterns of Alzheimer's residents. The video
demonstrates practical ways of dealing with difficult behaviors such
as wandering, angry outbursts, and delusions. For example, Earl's clothes
are changed on the run since pacing is his normal behavior, and Patsy
is offered finger food while she wanders. Since the behaviors of Alzheimer's
residents rarely conform to the standards of behavior accepted by the
rest of society, the caregiving staff adapts to each resident's specific
behavior patterns. Since changing a behavior is no longer possible when
the resident can't understand or remember, the caregiver learns to accept
the behavior and to intervene only when the patient or another resident
may possible be harmed. Acceptance and understanding that the resident's
behaviors are appropriate for the disease become the key in successfully
caring for these residents.
