medication

what does cholinesterase inhibitor?
- Ability to think clearly, memory, function in daily activities and behavioural and pyschological symptoms.
- Drugs that inhibit the breakdown of acetylcholine.
- In some forms of dementia there appears to be a deficiency of acetylcholine.
- Temporarily stabilizes the symptoms of dementia

mematine:
- Mematine improves the functioning of the cranial nerve
- As a result, it slows down memory loss in some people
- It doesn't work for everyone, it can stay the same so it doesn't get worse.

nutrition

emmaschepers — 2023-03-30 11:03:54 UTC

Tilda stopped eating because she was anxious and aggressive due to lack of skills.
- this is because she has trouble starting and ending acts.
- because she is anxious about this, home care will be provided to guide her in this. also they have prepared a daily menu

Daily Menu:
- in the morning: she gets 2 slices of bread with toppings of her choice. she also gets a bowl of yoghurt and a cup of tea.

- At noon she gets a boiled egg with bread, or yogurt with granola. She can also get some porridge with it if she wants it.

- as a snack she can get a piece of fruit or a smoothie, of course a cup of coffee or tea with a biscuit too

- dinner is in consultation with the lady, but keep an eye out that she does not get the same for days.

- snack for the evening a cup of coffee and something delicious.

of course we supervise and consult with Mrs

Exercise

emmaschepers — 2023-03-30 11:11:35 UTC

for daily exercise, family comes to take her for a walk, possibly a trip to the garden center. this only if the lady is not too tired, this differs per day

Life Style

emmaschepers — 2023-04-13 10:52:40 UTC

to create a healthy lifestyle, a day planning is important. this clearly states what she can do each day, such as the times she goes to bed so that she gets enough sleep.
otherwise her hobbies are not known, so we can do different activities to find out what she likes to do. Various activities will also be planned so that she gets enough exercise. contact with her acquaintances and family is also important in this respect

Technology

emmaschepers — 2023-04-13 10:55:22 UTC

for technology we came up with the idea that tilda will buy a tablet. here you can see what she has to do per day and also get a reminder of this. a digital clock with the day, date and weather may also apply.
the home care sets all appointments and reminders so that tilda does not have to do anything with them.

Recommendations.

emmaschepers — 2023-04-13 10:56:48 UTC

We have found out in recent weeks that there are many possibilities. with the necessary help, but we hope that this way Tilda will have a healthy and more enjoyable life.
