Dementia Behavioral Care in Arizona
Behavioral & Personality Changes and Dementia
Individuals experiencing dementia of all kinds can have trouble regulating emotions and sometimes show dramatic personality changes. For at-home caregivers and family members, the behaviors resulting from this inability to regulate emotions can make caring for a loved one very difficult. Such behaviors may include:
- Aggressive outbursts
- Confabulation (sharing false memories)
- Day/night reversal
- Exit-seeking episodes
- Delusions or hallucinations
- Displays of agitation & anger
- Inappropriate sexual behavior
- Inappropriate undressing
- Personality changes
- Phone calls to 911 or other businesses
- Poor or excessive food intake
- Refusing care or medications
- Refusing to bathe
- Repetitive questions
- Shadowing (closely following another person)
- Sleeplessness & sundowning (increased confusion at night)
- Taking, collecting, hiding, or hoarding items
- Wandering
Professional Help, Now in Arizona
As a behavioral care provider, Park Senior Villas has developed a program, alongside dementia-certified specialists and clinical professionals, that provides a solution for families trying to manage dementia-related behavioral issues at home.
An important technology-enabled tool in our dementia behavioral care programming is called elbi. This HIPAA-compliant mobile app is powered by artificial intelligence (AI). Its value to our team is based on the fact that the technology is paired with professional behavior specialists who review the data and then make recommendations to contribute to the personalized care we provide residents.
This results in guidance for our caregiving staff in choosing personalized, non-drug interventions for residents as needed. elbi offers recommendations based on the resident’s background, which family members provide through their responses to a comprehensive questionnaire. This resident-specific information is integrated with an extensive research database. The elbi database is continuously updated as feedback becomes available on which interventions work best in different situations.
elbi can remind caregivers about the best approaches when engaging with a resident, such as talking about a favorite experience to help them stay focused and calm. elbi can also detect patterns in a resident’s reactions to help guide future interventions. At Park Senior Villas, we see beyond an individual’s behaviors and symptoms. This keeps the resident’s focus on what they CAN do while preventing or helping mitigate behaviors before they arise.
