Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s or dementia? This free telephone workshop from the Alzheimer Society of B.C. allows caregivers to learn from home. Featuring Dr. David Gayton, this telephone and Internet presentation will provide a physician’s insights into the diagnosis, treatment and management of behavioral and psychological symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. This tele-workshop is for caregivers who reside in B.C. and Yukon.

When I was in high school, I volunteered at a retirement community. The residents that I saw that were suffering from Alzheimers were easily confused. It was challenging at times to care for them when they didn't want to participate.

Alzheimer’s Patients suffered from the irritability and aggression, language breakdown, symptoms include confusion, mood swings,, long-term memory loss, and so on. It is nice work to solve the query of the patient by the telephonic talk.

A doctor from a person with Alzheimer's disease should not try to do everything alone. The fact that others do not help, does not mean that no assistance will be provided upon request. adult services or support services may also provide a break for caregivers.
