Description
Your parent asks the same question ten times an hour. They insist on driving when it isn’t safe. They get suddenly worse, and you don’t know if it’s the dementia or something else.
Understanding Dementia is Module 1 of Dementia Care at Home, a course for adult children and spouses caring for someone with dementia. It explains what’s really happening in the brain, so the behaviors start to make sense, you stop arguing with the disease, and you know when to call the doctor.
Created by a Registered Nurse and Licensed Nursing Home Administrator with 15+ years in long-term care. This is how professionals approach dementia care every day in memory care, adapted for your home.
What you get
- Lesson 1.1: How Dementia Changes the Brain, and Why It Matters for Care. Six changes to expect, what helps with each, and the one habit memory care staff are trained in.
- Lesson 1.2: The Stages and What Each One Needs From You. Early, middle and late stage: what you’ll see and exactly what each stage needs.
- Lesson 1.3: Other Conditions That Look Like Dementia. Delirium, medications, depression, hearing and vision, and the four questions nursing homes ask first when someone suddenly changes.
- 3 printables: What’s Changed and What’s Still There worksheet, Stage-by-Stage Care Chart, and Medication Review Checklist.
- Clear “when to call the doctor” and “when to call 911” guidance in every lesson.
Short video lessons (about 4 minutes each) you can watch on your phone, with captions. Instant access after purchase.
