How You can Improve the Care You Give your Alzheimer’s Patient
When it comes to caring for a loved one or patient, there are no born experts. Expertise comes from years of study and hands-on care giving. What Every Caregiver Needs to Know about Alzheimer's Disease with Kim and Gail Petersen provides a video-based tool for professional and family caregivers by experts on dementia training. The DVD features four sections: Mild Cognitive Impairment, and Early, Moderate, and Severe Cognitive Disability. Physical changes in the brain, cognitive capabilities, and behavioral manifestations are covered. Perhaps most pertinent, it includes real family profiles, in addition to actors portraying common dementia behaviors and interviews with caregivers. Includes a companion guide, Resources on Alzheimer's Disease that provides critical information, assessment tools, and reproducible in-service handouts on Alzheimer's. 75 minute DVD, closed captioned, 89 page manual.
