Unit 6 LP 15 Dementia and DeliriumAlzheimer's Disease for Assisted Living Facilities
This program—a must-see for health care workers in assisted living facilities—discusses causes of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias; symptoms and behaviors that accompany the stages of AD; strategies for coping with AD-related restlessness, agitation, and wandering; strategies for verbal and nonverbal communication with AD residents; family member guilt over placing a loved one with AD in an ALF; maintenance of a safe and engaging environment for AD residents; and ethical challenges faced by AD caregivers. Commentary by ALF professionals and family members provides additional depth…and poignancy.
