“Caring for a Loved One with Alzheimer’s”

Program: Nearly 60 percent of caregivers who care for someone with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia rate the emotional stress of caregiving as high or very high. A new dementia diagnosis can bring with it a whirlwind of stress, confusion and anxiety about what to expect as the disease progresses. This web seminar will offer a how-to look at caring for someone with Alzheimer’s or other dementias. The emphasis will be on the care and dignity of the individual, to help them live a more fulfilling life and to help the caregiver learn how to better manage troubling behaviors.

Presenter: Lakelyn Hogan, MBA, strategic partnerships representative, Home Instead Senior Care

Presented by: American Society on Aging and Home Instead Senior Care
