Description:

This course is designed to provide an overview into aspects of the older adult population as a cohort, understanding of different types of dementias, and thorough insight into the different cognitive assessment tools. It should be noted that these assessment tools vary based on symptoms and input from patient caregivers, and they are not necessarily diagnostic tools; rather they are tools that can unveil potential signs and symptoms of dementia and prompt the need for additional testing and examination by trained healthcare professionals. Learners will be able to identify types of dementia and the need to discern how to treat the patient most effectively in a safe, dignified manner with appropriate support, if necessary. Other aspects of this course include insights into preventative care and healthy lifestyle choices.
