The webinar will be led by Dr. Samuel Gontkovsky, Home Care Assistance’s executive director of research and development, who will discuss the diagnostic criteria for dementia and issues surrounding the various forms of the disorder. The webinar is designed primarily for healthcare professionals, including nurses, care managers, discharge planners, and social workers.
“We know how damaging dementia can be to the individual and the family that has to endure their loved one suffering with the disease,” Heinz adds. “Dr. Gontkovsky has a thorough understanding of diagnostic procedures, as well as current pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments of the disease. The knowledge he brings to this webinar will be valuable to our caregivers and anyone else who participates.”
