Alzheimer's DVD - Mid to Late Stage

Communication Series Volume 5

Caring for someone with Alzheimer's can be very challenging. As the disease progresses, different areas of the brain are affected. People with mid to late stage Alzheimer's may have difficulty expressing their needs in words, may be less able to reason and may be unaware of what is socially appropriate.

This program explores some very sensitive issues that occur in the mid to late stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Home care professionals and primary caregivers will learn solutions that can be applied to their own caregiving situation.

Topics include:

•    Physiological and behavioral changes
•    Core principles in Alzheimer’s care
•    Activities
•    Tolerance levels
•    Naps
•    Balancing the day
•    Repetitive calling out
•    Sexuality and intimacy
•    Pain management
•    Incontinence and toileting
•    Flexibility and humor: keys to caregiver well-being

Program comes with support materials, which include outline, learning objectives, key points and definitions, test and answer key.
