Conversations with Dr. Tam Cummings - A Monthly Education Series for the Dementia Caregiver

6/29/2022

 
The ABCs of Frontotemporal Dementias

July 7, 2022 | 8:00 AM - 9:15 PM PST | Online

The three domains and subsets of “young persons’ dementia” will be reviewed, allowing family caregivers an opportunity to identify the form of Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) their loved one has and what to expect for the future. Often challenging to recognize as a dementia due to the person’s age, the FTDs can cause especially high levels of stress for the family caregiver. This session with Dr. Tam Cummings will address the stages, domains, unique behaviors and decline in persons living with FTD and the impact this disease has on the family caregiver.
