About the Course This course is designed to provide an overview into aspects of the older adult population as a cohort, understanding of different types of dementias, and thorough insight into the different cognitive assessment tools. It should be noted that these assessment tools vary based on symptoms and input from patient caregivers, and they are not necessarily diagnostic tools; rather they are tools that can unveil potential signs and symptoms of dementia and prompt the need for additional testing and examination by trained healthcare professionals. Learners will be able to identify types of dementia and the need to discern how to treat the patient most effectively in a safe, dignified manner with appropriate support, if necessary. Other aspects of this course include insights into preventative care and healthy lifestyle choices. Learning Outcomes Upon the completion of this course, the learner will be able to: Examine aspects of aging and impact on longevity relative to Alzheimer s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) Identify impact of dementia on quality of life as it affects management of chronic disease Distinguish types of dementia and their symptoms Identify types of assessments to address specific age-related changes Identify modifiable lifestyle risk factors that can directly impact brain and psychological health Examine the role of primary health care in addressing symptoms of dementia and collaborating for proper diagnosis Distinguish between various cognitive assessment tools for dementia symptoms
