SUMMARY:Behavioral Distrubances in Dementia
DESCRIPTION: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. \nOur 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. \nCognitive decline in Dementia patients is progressive and creates significant psychological distress. This combined with Behavioral Disturbances of Dementia results in even bigger challenges for Caregivers. The degree of the associated symptoms and the level of disruption of family life as well as the safety of the patient often leads to decisions regarding long-term care. \nDr. Praderio will outline the most common behavioral disturbances associated with dementia such as Agitation\, both Verbal Aggression (obscenities\, accusation\, etc.) and Physical Aggression (pacing\, biting\, hitting)\, Wandering\, Hoarding\, Sleep Disturbances\, Sexual Inhibition\, Hallucinations\, and others. Nestor H. Praderio\, M.D. will lead a candid discussion on the potential for escalating dangers associated with behavioral problems as well as the havoc it may create for caregiver burnout and the overall welfare of the patient. The session will conclude with a question and answer period. \n

SUMMARY:Dementia vs. Alzheimer’s – Discerning the Difference
DESCRIPTION:What is dementia? What is Alzheimer’s? Are they the same or not? The confusion surrounding dementia and Alzheimer’s is not uncommon. Nestor H. Praderio\, M.D. will present a clear and easy to- understand explanation of the difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s. \nWhen a diagnosis of Dementia is issued people usually assume that it is Alzheimer’s and often reference the two interchangeably. It\nis widely believed that Dementia and Alzheimer’s is the same thing. They are not! While Alzheimer’s may be the most common and\nwidely recognized form of Dementia – it is not the only type. Dr. Praderio will clarify how dementia refers to an umbrella term of symptoms which can impact a person’s ability to function on their own. He will also outline how Dementia\, in some instances may be reversed\, however\, Alzheimer’s is an incurabledisease. \nAs customary\, the session will conclude with a question-and answer session with participants. \n
