Dear Lucy: How to handle hygiene challenges for persons with dementia
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.
Does your loved one with dementia refuse to bathe, dress or brush his or her teeth? Join Dear Lucy as she explores the reasons behind the behavior, as well as provides tips on how to handle hygiene problems.
