Dealing with Dementia 2024

This 6 week intensive workshop will enable an in-depth exploration of the neuropathological and psychosocial attributes of the full array of dementing disorders; the diagnostic evaluation components and the life-changing impacts of progressive symptoms upon patients and their families will be covered.

Dementia will be analyzed against a backdrop of environmental conditions and social influences, formal resources and informal support in order to appropriately respond to the needs of older adults and their caregivers. This presentation will cover the best practices in dementia care and highlight communication techniques: pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments, and environmental enhancements. The goals of preserving dignity and supporting quality of life will be promoted as priorities in discussions of strengths-based and person-centered care.
