Product Description
Ask anyone who has been through it: seeing a friend or loved one deteriorate with Alzheimer's is one of the most painful experiences to behold. Here is help in understanding what is happening. Kimberly R. Kelly talks about Alzheimer's and Related Dementia followed by the most feared and little known aspects of Alzheimer's Wandering. Kim has a wonderful ability to explain in a simple and understandable way the effects Alzheimer's has on a person's brain and behavior. She also explains what current drug therapies are being used to treat patients. Kim is the founder and executive director of Project Far from Home, an Alzheimer's education program designed for law enforcement, fire, EMS, and search and rescue. She was awarded the President's Volunteer Service Award from President George W. Bush and the Alzheimer's Association Award. This two-part program provides an invaluable introduction to this progressive and incurable brain disease. Part 1: Alzheimer's and Related Dementia, 38 minutes Part 2: Wandering, 23 minutes
