Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
He shouldn't be going out unaccompanied. If he's with an aide or a caregiver, they might be able to prevent him from such behavior. Or maybe not. In that case, you might try special clothing that he can't unfasten.
Fawnby, I don't think he should be going out at all. I wouldn't put the burden of responsibility on an aide or caregiver to prevent his unwanted behaviors.
Yes on the anti strip clothing. Although, I'm sure he will find other unwanted behaviors if he is prevented from this one.
You can call his Doctor about medication to tone down his sex drive. You don't want him flashing some young girls and get arrested. There is medication for this problem.
You can also buy "anti-strip" clothing from Amazon in the meantime. Sorry you are dealing with this, Don't let his Doctor brush you off on this one.
It may be time for him to be in care if he has access to people who don’t understand that this is a dementia (FTD?) behavior. Who is he flashing and under what circumstances? I agree antistrip clothing is a good option, too.
Agree with all the recommendations below -- medication from a neurologist, plus anti-strip clothing, plus consider a memory care facility (but the behavior will need to be under control there, to protect the female residents).
I had a client who had a potty mouth and kept asking me if I wanted to do XY and Z. I was trying to walk with this client and his behavior had been over the top all that morning. I didn't want him using that type of language and allowing people to hear him talk nasty to me like that, so we cut the walk short and went back into his apartment. It's up to the discretion of the aide. In most instances, we will cut out whatever the activity at the time and redirect the client away from public spaces.
Lol, Scampie, you reminded me of when my husband would put up his middle finger to EVERYONE he passed - old ladies in the nursing home, nursing home staff, residents, then when he was home, a walk outside had him giving the bird to everyone, including children. My solution was to put a mitten on his hand. He only has one active hand. So, he would still do the same, but to others it looked like he was waving a friendly hello. So, people would smile and wave and say hello to him! LOL.
Could you provide more information? Where and when is this happening? Is he going out in public and causing a disturbance? Is he in a care home?
A good memory care facility will be more understanding of unusual behaviors and will have experience in managing it.
I haven't used them, but I've seen others post on this forum about anti-strip clothing for people with dementia. You could Google it. That might be a solution that will work for you. Of course, that will mean he will need more help with dressing and using the bathroom, if you are up for it.
If he is going out in public, it is time for that to end. He needs to be protected, as does the general public from any unwanted behaviors from someone who can not control their actions.
If he is in a care home, speak with them about this. If he is at home, you might want to consider a care home or the non strip clothing others have mentioend.
