For five years I had the pleasure of working at the Doak Walker Care Center in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Doak Walker was a running back for SMU and was awarded the Heisman Trophy in 1948. He then went on to play professional football for the Detroit Lions and was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1986. As a nightshift caregiver one of my duties was to provide assistance to residents who were characterized as “Sundowners”, a common term referring to those who suffer from Alzheimer’s and Dementia disease.
The writer/director’s primary audience is the people who has seen/experiences a relationship with/ as a caregiver. Their secondary audience is the people who would enjoy a sarcastic film. Ultimately, they speak to young adults. “ALOHA: Ask, Listen, Observe, Help, Ask Again” This quote is one that is used in the introduction and always sneaks its way into the film as it progresses.

Based on Joe’s vignette, he should seek cognitive-behavior therapy, which combines faulty thinking with faulty behavior; moreover, since Joe’s behavior is described as extreme sensitivity to criticism and paranoia, including, his mental concern that he might be schizophrenic considering that both his parents are, cognitive-behavior therapy would focus on changing Joe’s behavior as well as checking the validity of his irrational beliefs in consideration that it is a possibility that he may not have
Nurses in Complex Continuing Care Encountering Ethical Dilemmas of Autonomy and Wellbeing When Patient with Dementia Wants to go Home Bhakti Amin Student # A0622083 Professor S. Cairns NURS 2047 23 March 2018 Introduction Dementia continues to grow as a condition diagnosed among elderly females, researchers have hypothesized that this is due to longer female life expectancy (Podcasy & Epperson, 2016). Allowing a client with dementia to stay in their own can have several benefits such as joy, comfort, socially connected, maintain identity, and have meaning in life; however, in many cases, clients with dementia require complex continuous care (CCC) to support their health and wellness needs and the needs of their family (Lilly
Traditionally, care workers have been the lead in planning and reviewing care and have played a greater part in deciding how needs can be met and what is possible. In the person-centred approach, the care worker role is that of an expert technician advising rather than leading and/or controlling the process. Care workers need to collaborate with individuals and help them to become informed and find ways to identify their own support needs. The way a person with dementia feels and experiences life is down to more than just having the condition. There are many other factors aside from the symptoms of dementia that play a huge role in shaping someone 's experience.
Unfortunately, the eighty-seven percent of African American informal elder caregivers who do not self-identify as such may unintentionally hamper the receipt of much needed support from formal eldercare providers and health care professionals. Based on the lack of caregiver self-identification, formal eldercare providers and health care professionals may not acknowledge them in that capacity as well, and not consider the caregiver as part of the care recipients’ care team. If this is assumed by formal eldercare providers and health care professionals, this may trigger an appraisal that the African American elder caregiver has no decision-making authority concerning their care recipient, which may lead to marginalization. Another disadvantage
The elderlies are people who have enough problems and things to worry about in their life’s and would not like to have more, putting up with us volunteers. The Valley Grande Manor is at 1212 South Bridge Avenue Weslaco, TX it is a place for elderly who have no family or anybody else to take care of them. I started to volunteer there for my class English 1302, as a project for my future, to gather data on how these nurses take care of them. When I first applied to volunteer they were so many elderly it remind me of many horror movies because it was wheelchairs, needles, and a big empty old cafeteria that was clean, but not remodeled. It was not comfortable until I talked to this man sitting alone before entering the main building of the nursing

This is more than just the financial resources that they have, but also their psychological and physical health and their spiritual outlook on life and the situation. One important factor is the caregiver's location and place of residence in relation to that of the person to be cared for. It must also be remembered that the carer has a life outside of this role and, therefore, important factors in caring include other day-to-day roles such as being an employee, a parent and a professional person. The carer is also affected by the opinions and demands of people outside the caregiving relationship. Caregivers are also facing a health care system that seems to be placing more responsibilities on caregivers while providing less and less

Care givers: caring for a family member or friend with a physical or mental illness can be stressful, exhausting, both mentally and physically, and creates a physical and psychological strain for the care giver over a period of time. The psychological well-being such as depression and stress, are frequent consequences of caregiving. The age, socioeconomic status, and the availability of informal support that caregivers have access to greatly affect their own health and well being. Caring for a family member with a mental illness can differ from caring for someone suffering from a physical illness. In addition to the medical care and long term treatment of a family member, an open and liberal view of mental illness is almost an essential in being able to care for someone who is ill.
