Responding to Challenging Behaviors of Alzheimer’s and Other Dementias

July 11 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm

Sometimes, people with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia, as well as those with other health and medical conditions associated with aging, behave in ways that family members and other caregivers find particularly confusing, inappropriate, and even frightening.  This program will help families and caregivers understand that what we may consider concerning or challenging behaviors from a loved one with dementia often reflects their physical, psychological, or social need or want.
