Here’s a tip in memory care.
I often worked with residents who wandered nonstop — never stopping to sit, drink water, or eat. Sometimes it was anxiety, a UTI, delusions, or paranoia. Other times, they simply didn’t want to be told what to do (especially when their whole life they were the ones in charge). Whatever the reason, I learned quickly that giving instructions almost never worked.
What did work was genuine connection.
I’d approach them by name, check in, then casually sit down somewhere comfortable. I’d make a glass of water for myself and one for them — maybe grab a snack — and sit right beside them. I’d take a sip, and almost every time, they’d follow my lead. No orders. No pressure. Just shared presence.
Care works better when it’s a shared moment, not a command.
Some people say, “Well, who has time for all that?”
The truth is, we all find time to eat during the day — you just have to be intentional.
And one more thing: your loved one will always feel the energy in the room. If you’re stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed, take a moment. Step into the bathroom, splash cold water on your face, breathe. Because whatever energy you’re carrying, they’ll carry it too.

All family members please be considerate towards the elderly and my staff members caring for residents that should you not feel well or u have the slightest flu feeling DO NOT visit 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Advice from an Urgent Care! Everyone is sick right now so stay out of folks faces.
RSV, Mycoplasma pneumonia, Flu A & B are going around. We’re seeing so many people at urgent care, daily. it’s so bad this year 😷
Treat symptomatically, these are all viruses, that can last UP TO 2-3weeks, especially that walking pneumonia, you can have a cough for months after. There’s no antibiotic treatment. Over the counter Mucinex DM, loosens all the mucus and thins it out, increase fluids, heavy on the water intake❗️use a humidifier if you have one. Take hot steamy showers, I recommend the v***r tablets, feels like heaven. Cough medicine for your cough (if you get rid of the mucus, you get rid of the cough) Tylenol/ibuprofen for your fever, pain, headaches, etc..
Also, sinus flushing (sinus suction for the littles) best thing you can do for the pressure headaches.
If you have a nebulizer, use it every 4-6 hours. If you don’t have the solution from the doctor, mix 2 cups of sterile water (bottled or boiled) with 1 tsp of salt, helps break up all that mucus in your lungs, chest, head ❗️

I copy and pasted from a friend this is great advice!!
