Dementia

Dementia is a general term for loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia. In this session, participants will hear from the Alzheimer's Association and learn about some of the common triggers for behaviors associated with dementia, how to assess the person’s needs, and how to intervene effectively. Whether you provide daily care, participate in decision-making or simply care about someone with the disease, help and support are available.

 

The Delaware Valley Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association serves the greater Philadelphia area and the Lehigh Valley, Southern New Jersey and the full state of Delaware.Through its network of staff and volunteers, the Chapter offers a broad range of free programs and services, funding for Alzheimer's and dementia research, and advocacy efforts on behalf of those across the region.
