Conversations that Matter: Supporting Individuals with Dementia and Their Families
Carol Podgorski, PhD, MPH, LMFT | UR Medicine Finger Lakes Center of Excellence for Alzheimer’s Disease
This presentation will address the complexities of the provider-patient-family interactions that occur within the context of dementia care. It will focus on the range of emotional reactions that patients and families have in response to “Alzheimer’s disease” and “dementia”; how dementia literacy affects clinical encounters, and the improvements clinical practices can make to protect and promote the safety and well-being of patients with cognitive impairments and those who care for them.
