I want to ask you, how do you take care of the elderly who are basically demented and can't take care of themselves in bed?

My mother-in-law was paralyzed in bed, my husband and I both went to work, and only my sister took care of her during the day. In the evening, we finally hired a night nanny, but after a day's work, I quit. There is no way. Let me resign and go home to take care of my mother-in-law. My sister gave me 1500 every month until my mother-in-law died.

We sent our mother-in-law to the hospital for nursing, just opposite the community. We go to work during the day and go to see her at night, so it's better to take the food and eat it together. It's better to stay away for two days a week than to take care of us.

First of all, we must ensure the nutritional collocation of three meals a day for the elderly, turn over the elderly regularly to prevent bedsores, clean up the urine and urine for the elderly in time, maintain a good sanitary environment, and keep the indoor ventilation temperature suitable to prevent colds. Everyone knows, please comment.

If you have this kind of dementia at home, you can't take care of yourself. As a family member, you should be mentally prepared, because this is an unexpected protracted war.

The premise is that you have enough time and energy and good health. Because taking care of the disabled elderly is a particularly energy-consuming and physical thing.

For example, my father has been in bed for 22 months because of craniotomy for cerebral hemorrhage. At present, he is basically unconscious and is in a coma most of the time. He is a typical disabled old man, who eats, drinks, sleeps in bed and can't live without people all the time. Now let me briefly talk about my experience …

Every day, you should ensure that the nutrition of the elderly is balanced and the ingredients are fresh and easy to absorb. It is best to diversify each dish in a small amount. Eat more high-protein crude fiber ingredients and various fresh fruits, understand the complementary function of each food, help the elderly fully absorb nutrition, and prevent the lack of albumin and various vitamins in bed for a long time …

Bedsore prevention! All disabled elderly people basically spend their time in bed, so pay attention to bedsores and pressure sores. Make sure to turn over every two hours every day, and try to avoid squeezing between limbs on the hemiplegic side. I usually turn back and forth according to the rules of lying on the left, lying flat and lying on the right. Turn over every two hours and pat your back to eliminate phlegm and prevent lung infection. You can also prepare an air cushion bed for patients at home.

Knock on the back to expel phlegm! Bedridden patients are prone to lung infection, so patting the back is essential! Generally, every time 10- 15 minutes, the hollow palms and fingers bend, and the back of the hand bulges in a hollow shape from bottom to top, and beats the back rhythmically and evenly from both sides to the middle, so that sputum can be discharged more easily through coughing, and the discharge of secretions can effectively control infection.

Massage! Family members can help patients to move their limbs more, prevent thrombosis and limb stiffness, and promote blood circulation.

Clean up the shit! Patients with basic disabilities generally do not defecate on their own. At this time, their families will help him clean up his stool every other day to reduce the harm caused by the accumulation of garbage in his body!

In addition to these life care, don't forget to give psychological guidance to patients, communicate more at ordinary times, let patients feel warm and happy, and get the care of others, which is more conducive to patients' recovery.

This paper briefly describes the process of caring for the disabled elderly, hoping to help the questioner!

Our four brothers and sisters retired, and we took turns to take care of our mother for five years until her death.
