The 'Challenges of Mild Dementia in Older Adults' discussed in webinar Thursday
When people think of Alzheimer’s disease, they often picture someone who requires long-term care, has difficulty remembering names and faces, and is struggling with daily tasks.
And while those more severe symptoms are common as the disease progresses, most people start their journey with memory loss with less acute symptoms, either with a diagnosis of mild dementia or Mild Cognitive Impairment.
They still present unique challenges for caregivers, as their loved ones may not fully accept or understand their diagnosis and its implications, and therefore may be reluctant to make necessary changes to their day-to-day lives.
Here at Carson Tahoe Expressions Memory Care, we’re holding a free webinar on Thursday, Sept. 22 at 3 p.m. titled “Caring For A Loved One With Mild Dementia: How to Navigate The Challenges.”
It will be hosted by Adria Thompson, a dementia consultant and certified dementia practitioner.
In the webinar, she will discuss different forms of early memory loss, how to provide more care if a loved one refuses help, and ways to approach difficult situations.
