Catastrophic Reactions
Catastrophic reactions are extraordinary reactions of residents to ordinary stimuli, such as the
attempt to provide care.
One definition in current literature is as follows:
"...catastrophic reactions [are] defined as reactions or mood changes of the resident in
response to what may seem to be minimal stimuli (e.g.: bathing, dressing, having to go to the
, bathroom, a question asked of the person) that can be characterized by weeping, blushing,
anger, agitation, or stubbornness."
"Catastrophic reactions and other behaviors of Alzheimer residents: Special unit compared to
traditional units."
