Wednesday, April 3, 10:00-11:00am

“Older Adults and Opioids”

Program: All ages, including older adults, are feeling the impact of the opioid epidemic. According to the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project, across the past 20 years, the hospitalization rate for geriatric misuse of opioids has quintupled. While it is common for older adults to experience chronic pain, special consideration should be given when prescribing opioids to older patients. Pharmacist Kyle Decker of Simple Meds® will join this web seminar as a guest speaker to share more about the impact of opioid use on older adults. Register for this month’s web seminar to learn more about the opioid epidemic and to learn about ways older adults can more effectively manage their medication.

Presenter: Lakelyn Hogan, Gerontologist. Caregiver Advocate, Home Instead Senior Care

Kyle Decker,  PharmD, VP, Simple Meds

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

“Sexuality in Long Term Care”

Program: This presentation is meant to define sexuality and its manifestations as seen in long-term care. It is intended to help participants understand the positive effects of intimacy and sexuality for residents. We’ve seen positive attitude changes with better understanding that have led to better outcomes from sexuality-related incidents in nursing homes. The most difficult, but perhaps the most fascinating, part of the presentation is to discuss how dementia may effect consent in nursing homes.

Presenter: Gayle Doll, Director, Center on Aging

Presented by: Alzheimer’s Foundation of America
