Understanding Dementia: A Course for Relatives
Offered By: VIA University via Canvas Network
Course Description
Overview
This is a course primarily meant for people who have a relative suffering from dementia or who suspect dementia in a relative. However, people working professionally in the field can also benefit from the course – especially by obtaining an understanding of the perspectives of the relative of a demented person.
The structure of the course follows the progression of the diseases of dementia – from the first suspicion of something being wrong to the fatal end.
The course will provide knowledge on the four most common types of dementia diseases: Alzheimer’s dementia, Multi Infarct dementia, Frontotemporal dementia, and Lewy Body dementia.
