Dear Lucy: Understanding the signs of paranoia, hallucinations and delusional behaviors
Caregiver Teleconnection sessions are one hour learning sessions that can be done via Zoom or over the phone 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.
If you are caring for a loved one with dementia you need to know the signs of paranoia, hallucinations, and delusional behaviors. Please join Dear Lucy as she will discuss the symptoms to look for and ways to redirect and distract your loved one if needed. She will also provide tips on how to manage the behaviors you may see.
