The Next Steps: Life Planning Tips After an Alzheimer?????????????s Diagnosis | |
Area: Greater Houston | ||
When an individual is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, this dramatically affects the life of the person as well as his or her family and friends. Alzheimer's disease progresses differently for each individual and therefore the next steps for the diagnosed individuals and their loved ones are not clearly defined. This presentation walks the caregiver through the next steps after the diagnosis has been made. This curriculum guides them in understanding the diagnosis, communicating with others about the diagnosis and learning techniques to alleviate the stress of caregiving. After this program, the participant will be able to identify the next steps for the individual that has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers. | ||
