Presentation

In this presentation (1:17:25 minutes),Troy Anderson discusses the challenges that can arise as we try to navigate the transitions that occur across the disease span in a dementia condition. He speaks about denial in a different way, almost as a defense mechanism rather than how we might view it in more normal terms. Slides are available to download. Included in this presentation is a patient case given by Cole Davis. Resources available for download are "INTERACT Stop and Watch Tool'' and "PAINAD Tool." Part of the Age-Friendly ECHO series.
