Addressing Caregiver Burden & Identifying Agitation in Alzheimer’s Dementia

Over 11 million Americans provide unpaid care for people with Alzheimer’s or other dementia.¹ The majority (80%) of people with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia are receiving care in their home.²  The demand for caregivers and the burden can negatively impact their quality of life and ability to provide care. Come and join us for this webinar, as our speaker and moderator highlight the impact of caregiver burden, discuss challenges in recognizing agitation in Alzheimer’s dementia, and share tools that caregivers can utilize in identifying and managing this condition.
