Hes doing really well in fairness.

I'm 58 my knees and shoulder ache, rugby and construction kill me. 92 he walks better than me

@@user-ts5qw6tr9bI use a topical compounded 10% diclofenac cream prescribed by my md. It is stronger than the commercially available diclofenac mixtures. It cuts back on the oral pain killers and is surprisingly effective and helps with getting restful sleep. Hope it helps.

Well said! All solid point. My 92yo Gpa pee’s himself every night and my mom has to wash his clothes and sheets every f-king day.

Right??? I’m confused when some of the captions of their videos.

OMG!!! I speechless Dan , I feel for you with my whole Heart😢😢😢😢❤❤❤

When people get older they can nicer or meaner. I don't know if their real side is coming out or if they change because of the trauma of getting old but my husband is lucky. I'm on the nice side lol. God bless everyone.

I don't think they purposely mean, the good thing was my mom would forget she was mad at someone and just be nice......

How long are you going to exploit your father for money? Turn to Christ, friend. It's not too late. Serving your demented father to the altar of money isn't a good look.

@@thebadluckboys Dr Ed is warm, safe and loved, we can see from the videos how well he is cared for. Unlike those poor oldies shoved in care homes and abused by caretakers. Just because you wouldn’t be prepared to care for a parent with dementia don’t judge someone who is prepared to do so, instead of handing him off to strangers. The videos document that he is in great hands.

​@@thebadluckboys 💌 IF Dan was exploiting, he would not attend / speak at Alzheimer's conventions, where he could be the target for criticism. Dan is certainly helping me + others heal from the trauma and recover from society's STIGMA of a mentally unwell parent. Many isolated years for me with no one to turn to. And yes my soul mate died young at 40 + suddenly while l coped with my mom's aggressive baffling, highest level dementia. I was heartbroken for her. Dan is an example for those coping now. God bless 💌

He still has his gentleman card❤

He seems to always remember Danielle's name🙂

He's the least angry angry guy I know.😂

@@saraschneider6781 that part

Bless him 💞

Most definitely....well deserved.. he just a wee bit of "short" term memory loss.." long" term he remembered where the pictures of his parents that it is a "safe" spot to put things..just curious...thinking a picture of his grandson "josh" with a "tape measure, retractable" could help him remember him.* ( i mean using objects to help either identify those in the immediate family circle... or like what is it about his brother "bill" that hes looking to find him...or see if hes ok... are there old movies or cds or other media in which bills voi e is present...(*) ok if there was ever a benefit to AI ... i would support this kind.. if it could help DR ED with remembering his brother "Bill"...or when the times that were good, he could experience that moment and be happy...ok getting lengthy..but when you love someone so much like you do dan & others..you just pick youre brain a little bit on ways you might think will fix them.. fix the situation. Cure the. If theres a way...and Dan along w others support..... your taking on a very lovingly courageous task ..may peace be with you n yours ....

A man of his stature needs to feel autonomy and needs to have keys to a house in his pocket even if he's no longer a homeowner, a car out in the driveway. No one who is a thinking, independent by nature person wants to feel out of control of his hard earned money and symbols of freedom and accomplishments.

I didn’t sense anger either. My take was anxiety. I always tried to calm my mom when she was in an anxious state.

Of course he's clickbaiting him. While making him wear merch. Why are we thanking him for this??

You saw 6 min of behavior and interaction that may have even been edited... not the entire hr prior that Dan mentioned... & u speak on it from a distance. You have no idea what the experience is like from their vantage point. I live w/ my grandmother, who is 97. She is a blessing to have. & its a privilege to serve & care for her. But the lifestyle is taxing & comes w/ many flavors. Grandpa is polite bc the values of that generation don't leave them. I've worked w/ seniors since i was 15 yrs old...That group from the early 20th century & prior is just an entirely diff breed. Notice the things that matter the most to grandpa...being prepared in case something happens...having resources available...having done a good job in life...his reputation...family....especially family....& being available & there for those whom he's responsible. These people were/are giants. I call them legends. But they can be equally as headstrong & insufferable once they get on a certain wavelength & frequency. ..I love them dearly, For me, there are more pluses than minuses....As Dan said, it's just a part of it.

​@@iro9486 merch? Those are gifts people send him smh.

​@@Mr.Oct___ true and I also think that given that we do not now him we don't know how Dr Salinger really is as a person and how it is when he is angry and or frustrated. He is ever so polite I think he doesn't lash out.

Yes, as I stated in a comment above, he lashed out relative to his typical behavior. I have seen much worse on videos of other people.

Me too

I really love him!!!! It has to be mentally difficult for him some days but he's still such a gentleman! GOD BLESS HIM!

He's the GENUINE ARTICLE as my Mom, who passed at 69, used to say. ❤🙏🏻 His character and heart is ever present irregardless of his memory. He is golden, still shining bright. 🌟 😊

Agree on all that! They are so blessed❤❤❤

@@user-zz1ty4ie2x I would never consider the disease a blessing ever but I know what you mean. Could be a lot worse.

Other patients may be in care facilities and feel even more confused, so it's understandable they get stressed, frustrated and anxious. They aren't being aggressive to annoy anyone. In their minds they are missing their home, spouse, kids etc. They feel they have woke up in a different universe, and everything they know has changed so they may lash out. I think most of us would feel the same.

It gets way nastier than this, trust me. They just don't film it.

​@@no-pants-no-problem Right.😊 I just meant he could be angry and combative and unkind and be so much more stressful for them.

If his son would just give him his car keys.... he could drive on out of there and not have to deal with all of that!

💯

I sincerely empathize. Sometimes it's a case of "round and round the carousel spins" as the thoughts unfold and replay. We so love this grandpa and his family with their attentive care bestowed upon him.

He IS physically mobile! He is doing so much better than my parents were at his age. My father died at 91 and was sick for yrs before he died. My mother had Parkinson’s and was in a wheelchair with terrible osteoporosis. She had Parkinson’s dementia to boot. Both of them fell constantly, breaking bones. They fought with each other and with us constantly. They were in a nursing facility bc they were so sick that no way could I or my sister take care of them.

@@lessehead When I stated his frustration about being mobile I’m stating his independence. I’m sorry about your parents may they RIP. I obviously pinch a nerve with you for you to feel you can change my opinion on what I wrote. As we know everyone is different and the disease affects everyone differently.

@@miamia7633 Sorry, to me, when I hear the word mobile as it pertains to an elderly person, I think of it as physically mobile, bc so many of them are wheelchair or bed bound or need assistance from a cane or walker when walking. He gets around great for someone his age. The word independent would be a better fit for what you were trying to say. I’m a retired 30 yr teacher and reading specialist and choose my words carefully!

Why?? 😂😂😂

Yeah she’s so sweet, you could hear her yelling all throughout this clip… Especially here 3:57

Exactly what I thought too 💯

That s the way my husband was til they put him on a low dose of Ativan at nite , he did so much better with the hr anger and frustration it breaks your heart that we can’t help them and they’re miserable and they trying to fix it but they can’t

❤

Amen to that. My mom isn’t as pleasant to say the least as his dad

It’s a very sad disease,bless his sweet heart ❤

​@@debby891so sorry.

😂😂😂😂

that was such a MOMENT both with dan's exceptional delivery of AAALLLWAYS with you, to Ed making an actual JOKE amazing amazing

​@@vanyvero2007Really sweet

that HUGE bright smile tho! absolutely beautiful!♥️

Grandpa can come back with zingers! 😅 👍🏻 My Gramps lived to have his birthday 97, old folks can be hilarious 😊

😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍

HE DO NEED A DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT SOMETIMES DIFFERENT FACE OF FOLKS HIS AGE JUST TO TALK OR BIRD 🐦 WATCHING HE GET TIRED OF YOU SOMETIMES YOU PUT YOUR SELF IN HIS SHOES 👞 👟 ?????????????

SOMETIMES HE IS TREATED LIKE A CHILD??????

Love Grandpa♥️

That's what we do. We are always with them and not abandon them. ❤

@@trudyramgren8817 That is wonderful!!

“That’s what I’m worried about.” It’s crazy how the humor can cut through sometimes 😂

It must be so hard to be a doctor and then be so confused and forgetful.. at the moment he is listening to Dan. You can see how independent he was. my father had Alzheimer’s and it was very difficult for his wife and daughter to look after him. I live in another country so it was difficult for me to visit him every year but I did. Until he passed away with renal failure. 😢

That cracked me up, his wit

😁

@dsalnorcal1434 My wife and I like to watch a few episodes every night after work. Thank you, and take care of yourself and your family.

THAT part made me laugh! What a great human being , much love!

That was so funny

Absolutely😊

💯 ❤🙌🫂

I love Dan's patience also, what a great man Dan is...

Absolutely! ❤

❤

Yes he is. Love Dr. Ed and family

Blessings to you Dan and family ❤❤❤

As a nursing home administrator with a dementia unit, why wouldn't you help the staff when they need it the most?? Wow!

​@melissar.2594 sometimes people aren't good with confrontation they know when it's beyond their control maybe that's why he is in that care place

@@melissar.2594 if he could handle the situation, his father would be with him at home. He obviously doesn't! Making assumptions about a situation you obviously know little about shows very poor skills and wonder how good you are at your job. Even if the son could handle the situation in theory, you do not know how the dementia patient would take it. It highly depends on the past and the bond of the dementia patient with the child. Some people had close relationships, others didn't or even worse, had a tense relationship. In that case their presence could to more damage than help! Not to mention that staff is payed to do their job not share the job with family members. The reason for family to be there is to share time with their sick family member, show them love and keep the memories and feelings going as much as they can, not help you! And all that you won't do when they are in aggressive mode! They need someone with authority in that cases and a child will never be able to show a parent (who lives in the past) authority, especially not a parent with his job!

😂

He's his Dad not his Grandfather.

I gree lol

❤️💜

@@dsalnorcal1434 ❤️❤️❤️❣️

She’s the only woman there.

@jackiecrawford1032 Funny! But more to it than that I think 🤔

He deserted Dan when he was young, divorced Joanne & married Danielle's mum

Really? Is that a fact now!

I the bought Dan and Danielle were married?

God bless him and them.💜

Obedient? He's the dad. He doesn't have to do anything that they say. Not one thing. If he wants to stay awake all night he can. It's other people who have things to do so they make him do what they want, not what he wants. It's sad to watch sometimes.

Yep, you’re right.

😂😂😂 he didn't lose his humor 😅

😁

Someone should get him an OG sweatshirt to add to his collection
