Description

By 2025, the number of people age 65 and older with Alzheimer’s disease is estimated to increase by 40 percent. People with Alzheimer’s are being diagnosed earlier than ever. Many are lucky enough to have a caregiver living with them. But just as many aren’t that lucky. Their children may live far away, or they have no family at all. It is possible to continue living alone at home with Alzheimer’s with help and the support that’s needed is more available now than ever before. This session will discuss the strategies to live at home successfully with Alzheimer’s, including where to start, maintaining and enhancing capacity, and high impact services that can facilitate functional stability and safety. As a professional you can help people with Alzheimer’s live at home.

 

Target Audience

Dementia capable caregiver consultants, state and federal aging grantees, home care agencies, other HCBS providers, lead agency care coordinators or case managers, Area Agencies on Aging, tribes, and other professionals who support persons with dementia and families living in the community.

 

Learning Objectives

Goal 1    Learn approaches to help people with Alzheimer’s live at home

Goal 2    Learn to assist people with Alzheimer’s in developing a personalized plan for (supported) independent living.
