Dementia: The Struggle is real 2021 End of Life Conference Series
Recorded on April 15th, 2021
80% of people with dementia have behavioral challenges, including agitation, during their disease progression.
Current management of these behaviors with prescription drugs do not always work and the lack of clinical studies can be frustrating. In the context of Casa de la Luz Hospice’s innovative agitation program, Dr. Rebecca Powell and Piper Frithsen will share practical, non-pharmacological approaches to treating dementia behaviors and their underlying causes like boredom, restlessness, and sensory overload.
Presented by:
Dr. Rebecca Powell, MD, HMDC, Associate Medical Director
Piper Frithsen, M. Admin, RN, Administrator
