| Summary |
Alzheimer's disease is a devastating progressive, degenerative disorder that attacks the brain's nerve cells resulting in loss of memory, thinking and language skills, and changes in physical ability. As a result it presents some unique challenges to healthcare professionals. In this wide-ranging and compassionate second program we examine the physical symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and the simple, effective strategies to deal with physical instability, wandering, following verbal and physical aggression, amongst other symptoms. Concluding with effective strategies for dealing with end-of-life issues for Alzheimer's disease patients, this is a richly rewarding educational program for both caregivers and health professionals |
