Why we know this works

We love this course because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we hear the same worried question in almost every home where memory is changing: is this normal aging or something more? What is the difference between Alzheimer's and dementia? Dementia is the umbrella term for memory and thinking changes that interfere with daily life, and Alzheimer's is its most common cause, and this free Alzheimer's Association training explains that clearly along with stages, risk factors, current treatments, and where to find support. Follow the link, add it to your cart on their website, and watch it for free as many times as you need.

This is especially important for families facing a brand new diagnosis or noticing early signs in a loved one. If you already understand the basics and need day-to-day caregiving skills, move on to the Living with Alzheimer's caregiver series for your loved one's stage.
