Dementia and the Hidden Patient
Caregiver Teleconnection sessions are one hour learning sessions for caregivers of older persons. Experts from around the country share information important to caregiving. Caregivers will have the opportunity to ask questions as well as hear from other caregivers.
Our sessions are geared for the family members taking care of a loved one over the age of 60. Professionals are also welcome to participate as well.
Many feelings are experienced as Alzheimer’s caregivers, yet they often go unaddressed. Oftentimes caregivers live in the shadows of their loved ones with different forms of dementia. Join Dr. Natalee Oliver, DSW to discover why it is important to take care of yourself without feeling guilty, so you are not the hidden patient.
