Breaking through Barriers
Angela Dunk
When caring for a person with dementia, caregivers can find they need to access services to help both the individual they are caring for, and themselves. Unfortunately, caregivers can find they are running into barriers when trying to incorporate the different types of assistance available. Because of this, there are some common unmet needs that caregivers can experience. This session will delve into some of the major obstacles caregivers can experience, and offer practical suggestions to dealing with them. |

Long Term Care – Decoded
Tara Kaiser, LCSW, Administrator, Sugar Creek Alzheimer's Special Care Center
Deciding to bring a loved one to a long term care facility can be an incredibly difficult decision, and if it comes to that point, there are many questions that come to mind. How do I find the best facility? What should I be looking for to know this is a ‘good’ home? Who can I contact if I need help? This session will answer these common questions associated with long term care and discuss the options that are available. |

Downsizing, De-cluttering & De-stressing
Cheryl Schaffer, Senior Move Manager, Neu-nest
A life well lived often times lends itself to a houseful of mementos, and perhaps an arresting moment where you wonder, ‘what am I doing with all this stuff??” While it can be difficult to clear out the clutter, when dealing with someone with Alzheimer’s disease, the task can become that much more daunting. Whether downsizing, or de-cluttering, this session will teach you about some common obstacles you may face, and creative solutions to help overcome them. |

Conquering Communication Challenges
Susan Rothas, RN, BSN- Senior Manager, Education & Outreach, Alzheimer's Association
As someone progresses through Alzheimer’s disease, it becomes more difficult for them to communicate. This impairment is doubly difficult, because not only are they having difficulty conveying information to us, but they have more challenges interpreting what we are saying as well. By attending this session, you will learn about some of the common communication challenges that people with Alzheimer’s face, and some tips to help make it easier on everyone. |
