Listen Later

Guest Speaker:  Dayne DuVall, LMT, CAEd

Hosted by: Dr. Vincent Guida, M.D.

 

This podcast features :

  • Alzheimer’s and related dementias gradually diminish a person’s ability to communicate.
  • Clinicians should listen closely to family members - they know the condition of your patient. 
  • We need to retrain our mindset to understand that “behaviors” are really forms of communication. 
  • Clinicians need to understand what the family and front line workers are experiencing on a day-to-day basis. 
  • Primary Care Physicians should be better prepared to care for patients (and family members) living with dementia.
