@Dementiawho Absolutely. It can be hard not to just crack on and perform a task yourself (easier, quicker, safer), but maintaining that small amount of independence can support their identity #alzchat

@creativitycare Memories can serve as anchors to identities. My study found that ensuring an older person or care home resident has access to important anchors can support a sense of identity #Alzchat

@creativitycare The balance between the caring role and supporting an identity can often be at odds. Balance can be difficult. But important to remember that even small changes make a big difference #alzchat

Giving a person time and allowing them the time to make their own decisions and support them, rather than doing what you think is best to speed things along, can go such a long way #PatienceIsAVirtue #AlzChat
Dr Katie Paddock-Hall @KatiePaddockPhD
@creativitycare A feeling of connection with a group is important. If in a care home, it goes beyond who you happen to be around. It isn’t enough to forge a meaningful connection and support identity #alzchat

@Dementiawho How sad😔 And to what end, what does it achieve other than causing upset for something that is out of yours and your mum’s control 😔 #AlzChat
Dr Katie Paddock-Hall @KatiePaddockPhD
@Dementiawho From personal experience I can see family get frustrated/upset over seemingly minor things. But they can easily become major to that family member & signify to them the increasing severity of the dementia. “How could you forget x?!” = “Oh no are you really that bad?” #alzchat

I quite like how some care homes have bright and interesting pieces of information about each resident on their bedroom doors eg “I’m x and I enjoy y”, but identity work is more than summarising snippets of info. It’s about using that info to actively support identity #alzchat

Just working with some organisations at the moment... yes, the unravelling of good work can be quite extensive if lots of staff changes. One hopes that we will soon reach a point where new staff already have more person-centred awareness, so less of an issue (eventually) #AlzChat

Agree that it is very tough to balance. Supporting someone to maintain identity & independence takes more of a care partner’s time, more patience, and more careful thought & planning. And sometimes dealing with criticism from others. #AlzChat

Dr Katie Paddock-Hall @KatiePaddockPhD
Must dash now. Great discussion! - lots of ways identity can be helped and harmed. Further complicated by the move to long-term care, but certainly not insurmountable. One final 🔌 for my PhD and paper!: https://t.co/0N9AlMRwey #alzchat
Dr Katie Paddock-Hall @KatiePaddockPhD
@nursesKidONE Yes. Can lead to disagreements between family/carers as to what’s “worth” the effort and what isn’t #Alzchat
Caroline Bartle @3Uknz
@creativitycare Identity is part of supporting independence but it’s so much more. I’ve been learning today about self harm in older adults and how much it’s linked to loosing control. I’m still upset by the stats that I have been reading about today - it’s so prevalent yet preventable #AlzChat https://t.co/lbAyKBbon4
Dr Katie Paddock-Hall @KatiePaddockPhD
@creativitycare Yes. Allowing for changeable personalities (we are all allowed a stroppy day!) as well as personalities that might not gel with your own #alzchat
nursesKidONE @nursesKidONE
A care partner also has to be prepared to advocate to maintain identity & independence of PLWD when dealing w/ healthcare & social care professionals, unlike w/ heart patients, who are encouraged to be independent. #AlzChat

yes objectification & oppression can happen unwittingly, e.g. not giving ppl credit for making choices or having opinions; assuming ppl need extra protection etc. There is such an interplay between identity & behaviours, attitudes of ppl around us #AlzChat
