Time out
By times she can be restless reviving her past and calling out to her family members , which is totally normal. It can be loud and sometimes a bit as i may say disturbing for the other elderly sitting in living room. Some elderly can t stand to many sensory stimuli. In the morning we dim the light and sometimes no music or classical music;
So when elderly are over stimulated we give them a bit of a time out and many become peacefull sitting before the cage with the singing birds.
For us care takers it is always a task to grasp the peoples mind in why they are restless.People in the last stage of their life try to clear the unresolved issues of their life and this can be hard and confronting. So speaking with them can sometimes be of help and they love to be touched , a kiss or whatever. It ain t allways easy but it is an honiour to serve humanity.
