A Helping Hand for Families Dealing with Alzheimer’s Disease
August 5th, 2008
Providing care for a family member or loved one suffering from Alzheimer’s disease can be a daunting task, but one that most caregivers find truly rewarding and worthwhile. Floyd Memorial Hospital and Health Services and the Alzheimer’s Association of Southern Indiana and Kentucky will host a free seminar to help caregivers, family members and friends understand the myriad of prescription medications available and both the benefits and challenges of those medications.
The seminar will be held at the hospital’s Paris Health Education Center on Friday, August 15, 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. A complimentary lunch will be provided.
Demetra Antimisiaris, PharmD, CGP, FASCP, University of Louisville Department of Family and Geriatric Medicine assistant professor, will cover topics including safe medication management, recognition of medication concerns, what to do about those concerns and medication resources. A question and answer session will follow.
Pre-registration is required. Call 1-800-272-3900 for more information or to register.
