Reconnect: Communicating with Persons with Dementia | |
Area: Greater Houston | ||
Alzheimer?????????????s disease dramatically alters the dynamics between the diagnosed individual and his or her loved ones. Family and friends of persons with Alzheimer?????????????s frequently feel that their loved one is no longer the person he or she once was. While the challenges and heart breaks of memory loss are real, diagnosed persons maintain many of their individual preferences, interests, abilities, and emotional attachments. This presentation provides caregivers with tools for effectively communicating and connecting with persons with dementia. | ||
