Description

  • Difficult Communications
  • Hallucinations
  • Resistance to Care
  • Aggressive Behavior
  • Wandering
  • Sundowning
  • Food and Fluid Deficit/Malnutrition
  • Family Involvement

Caregivers find many older adult behaviors to be challenging. Dementia and delirium are the most frequent contributing factors. Knowing what to expect and what to do related to specific behaviors can decrease frustration and increase satisfaction for everyone involved. A framework for rethinking challenging behaviors provides guidance for choosing management strategies.

Assessment and management techniques are based on theory and evidence. Through interactive discussion, clinical examples, and videos, this program focuses on day-to-day strategies to prevent and/or manage challenging geriatric behaviors.
