You’re invited to join Senior Helpers and Teepa Snow for a special presentation, “The Effects of Social Isolation on Those Living with Dementia,” on Thursday, June 18th at 3:00 pm ET.
This FREE virtual presentation for care partners and caregivers of individuals living with dementia will focus on dementia and care during the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal of maintaining social distancing boundaries to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus is challenging for all individuals but is typically even more so for those living with dementia.
Teepa Snow will highlight the serious effects that social isolation may have on those living with brain change and will address how to recognize the signs and symptoms of depression and anxiety in those living with dementia.
This session will also help providers recognize and respond more accurately to the unwanted effects of social isolation to reduce the chances of escalation and ‘non-helpful’ hospitalizations.
