SUMMARY:Dear Caregivers: Don't fear failure
DESCRIPTION:Many family caregivers strive to succeed at caring well for their loved ones but also live with a fear of failure.They worry that they are going to make a mistake and cause their loved ones to suffer more. They have a “negative bias” in their thinking\, focusing more on the one task they’ve done wrong rather than the hundred they’ve done right. In this Caregiver Teleconnection we’ll talk about developing more realistic and accurate measures of success and failure to help caregivers feel more confident and self-accepting. \n

SUMMARY:Demencia contra el Alzheimer – ¿cuál es la diferencia?
DESCRIPTION:Cuando se emite un diagnóstico de demencia\, las personas generalmente asumen que es de Alzheimer y a menudo hacen referencia a los dos indistintamente. Se cree ampliamente que la demencia y el Alzheimer es lo mismo. ¡ No lo son! Mientras que el Alzheimer puede ser la forma más común y ampliamente reconocida de la demencia-no es el único tipo. Nestor H. Praderio\, M.D. aclarará cómo la demencia se refiere a un término genérico de los síntomas que impactan la capacidad de una persona para funcionar por su cuenta. También esbozar cómo la demencia\, en algunos casos puede ser revertida\, sin embargo\, el Alzheimer es una enfermedad incurable. \n

SUMMARY:Legal Issues for Caregivers
DESCRIPTION:I will be talking about the importance of having estate planning documents to plan for later need or incapacity. The documents commonly needed are: Wills\, Statutory Durable Powers of Attorney for Finances\, Medical Power of Attorney\, Directive to Physicians\, Declaration of Guardian in the Event of Later Incapacity or Need\, HIPAA Authorization\, and Appointment of Agent for Disposition of Remains. Having this type of estate planning package is helpful so that others can act on your behalf should you lack the ability to make your own decisions and help to make your wishes and preferences known ahead of time.
