Dementia is a condition in which individuals progressively lose cognitive function and, as a result, often develop difficult behaviors that cause stress for both patients and their caregivers. These behaviors, collectively known as behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), include screaming, wandering, resisting care, hitting, and psychological symptoms such as depression, psychosis, and sexual disinhibition.
This program will provide an overview of what caretakers need to know to provide Quality of care and add Quality of Life to our residents with Dementia. Participants will understand the symptoms of Dementia as well as the different types of Dementia.
We will review and apply behavior management requirements and provide appropriate interventions and plans to deal with residents diagnosed with Dementia.
