Leaders: Alice Peck Day GUIDE Team
How do we assess for dementia after the age of 80? How do we evaluate memory problems with all the other issues that arise with advanced age?
Geriatrics specializes in the care of the older adult with an emphasis on the oldest old, particularly those with cognitive and medical problems.
Join a geriatrician in taking a ‘brain tour’ of the different changes that occur with age and how these contribute to different types of dementia. We will also talk about geriatric ‘syndromes’ that complicate dementia and how to address these together in a thoughtful way.
This program will share concepts and approaches that we find helpful in geriatrics to understand the role of dementia in the lives and care of our oldest adults.
You will receive the link for the program an hour before the class is scheduled to begin.
