As mentioned in previous posts, the first couple weeks of December were busy with decorating, festive socials amongst clients homes & Retirement and Long Term Care homes.

This week, I will be taking the time to visit each and every client to wish them a wonderful time with their loved ones over the holiday season. I love hearing about the traditions they have with their families. And of course, some little gifts will, or have been left behind 🎁 πŸ˜‰ 🀢🏼

I'm making my rounds attending Christmas functions, at retirement & long term care homes, for clients this and next week; dinners, music entertainment, Santa visits, decorating socials and craft sales.

Yup, I'm dropping πŸ˜΄πŸ’€ when I get home. The odd occasion I'm dragging my other half out with me too πŸ˜‰

Thank you Lori for taking the photo of the 3 of us 😊

Thickened liquids are an important safety measure for individuals with dementia who may have dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing. As dementia progresses, the muscles involved in swallowing can weaken, and the coordination required to safely manage liquids can become impaired.

When a person cannot swallow effectively, thin liquids (like water or juice) move too quickly down the throat and can enter the airway instead of the esophagus. This is known as aspiration, which can lead to coughing, choking, and serious health complications such as aspiration pneumonia or even death.

Thickening liquids helps them move more slowly, making them easier to control in the mouth and throat and reducing the risk of aspiration. This simple modification is a vital part of maintaining nutrition, hydration, and overall quality of life while prioritizing safety for those living with dementia and swallowing difficulties.

Typically, with my experience, this happens with clients in later stages of dementia, and mostly when they are living in long term care homes. We work alongside dieticians and nursing staff ensuring for safe, and smooth transitions. Photos below are typical thickening agents used in LTC.

I love using this Victor reader for clients with AMD, glaucoma and other vision issues limiting them from having the ability to read books.

Anyone with low vision or blindness is able to go to their local library, rent these, or similar machines plus audio books; daisy, mp3, CDs, SD cards and USB flash drives. You may purchase them from CNIB or online. Contact your local library and they are able to set up a delivery program with an array of books delivered to your door on a monthly basis.

It has great features with large , tactile keys, built-in speakers and headphones.

Together with clients we've found a way to enjoy books once again πŸ“–

He loves his bingo, and even more when he wins! Living with AMD, he manages to find his numbers with a little assistance. Bingo is provided as one of the activities at LTC.

One of the staff took in another game while under isolation due to some body aches, sore throat and cough.

We always encourage the clients to have purpose and to look forward to doing what they love. Pet therapy is another passion for this guy 🐾

We assist clients with meals at LTC homes, reporting to staff on the floor with the clients consumption percentage. We also keep in touch with the dietary staff if there are any changes or concerns.

In this photo, the client consumed over 75% food and under 50% liquids. The client is on a puree diet with thickened liquids due to dementia and precautionary measures for choking.
