8 YEARS DEMENTIA EXPERIENCE L.A. NATIVE I cared for my mother Sara for the last 14 years of her life - 10 years as her live in 24/7 caregiver. Sadly she passed in her sleep on May 2018 at age 95. I saw the early stages of her memory issues & forgetfulness 10yrs prior to Dementia diagnosis - this lead to late stage Dementia with "6mos to live" within only 1 year of diagnosis. 2 years after diagnosis - after much research - I started her on 3 vitamin supplements and we all witnessed her condition slowly reverse a full 95% back to normal within 6mos prompting Drs to stop all psych meds. A real true success story. I always took mom to her doctor Appt's discussing her medical issues while working hard with medical staff to try to get best care. Mom and I did everything together - we went for walks & outings - I got her to start reading and watching TV again once dementia improved - play her favorite songs - sing to her - got her to sing along - went to movies - the malls - got her hair & nails done every 8 wks - I self learned diaper changing procedures and proper products & cleaning to avoid rashes and skin breakdown with the appropriate lotions plus meal prep, feeding and bathing - it was very important to keep my mother vibrant at all times. Her last 6yrs she used walker and walked a slow snails pace and very unstable so getting her safely in and out of a car or anything was a learning experience. She never had an injury under my care. She weighed 200lbs. I feel I provided very high personalized level of care - especially when compared to most Skilled Nursing facilities where nurse staff are overwhelmed with patients and patients receive minimal attention as I witnessed myself. I'd like to meet with you and discuss more. I speak English & Spanish. Thank You. - Frank B.
