This video is part of a series, Supporting Family Caregivers in the 4Ms of an Age-Friendly Health System, published in collaboration with the AARP Public Policy Institute as part of the ongoing Supporting Family Caregivers: No Longer Home Alone series.

This video shows family caregivers the importance of assessing and addressing an older adult’s cognition and mental health both during hospital stays and at home. It includes the signs of delirium, depression, and dementia; how to communicate changes in thinking and behavior to health care providers; and how to provide support if the person they care for is experiencing changes in their behavior or thinking.
