CEU Webinar, Navigating Caregiving Challenges With Early-Onset Alzheimer's

Free CEU Webinar, “Navigating Caregiving Challenges With Early-Onset Alzheimer

Right at Home will be sponsoring a free webinar, “Navigating Caregiving Challenges With Early-Onset Alzheimer’s,” on Tuesday, April 30 from 1:00-2:00pm EST.

The presenter is Diane Darby Beach, Ph.D., M.P.H., a gerontologist with 28 years of experience in public health and elder care. The American Society on Aging will host the webinar. Contrary to popular belief, Alzheimer’s is not a disease specific to seniors. Early-onset Alzheimer’s appears in people under age 65 — about 5 percent of Alzheimer’s patients. This web seminar will provide an overview of early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, followed by information on the challenges patients and caregivers face with a diagnosis and care, including financial, legal and social issues. Participants in this webinar will be able to:

• Define early-onset Alzheimer’s.
• Describe the challenges associated with early-onset Alzheimer’s not typically seen with lateonset Alzheimer’s.
• Identify financial and legal issues facing families dealing with early-onset Alzheimer’s.
• List resources available to help those with early-onset Alzheimer’s and their caregivers.

One free CEU credit will be offered to all eligible attendees.

• Date: Tuesday, April 30
• Time: 1:00-2:00pm EST.
• Registration: To register for the webinar, please visit the American Society on Aging's website.
