Home Instead® is driven by our mission to enhance the lives of aging adults and their families. We know that professionals in aging share the same objective and that’s why we offer podcasts and a free monthly webinar series in partnership with the American Society on Aging. We cover a variety of topics including medication management, end-of-life, technology, mental health, financial exploitation, and other important issues in aging. Your dedication and passion for learning is why we host this educational series.
Working together, increasing our knowledge, and understanding the various perspectives of these issues will help each of us in our mission to better serve older adults and families who care for them. Our team of Home Instead gerontologists, along with guest speakers, will share their expertise to educate and empower us all to be great advocates for our aging clients. Together we can change the face of aging. The webinar series is free of charge and includes CEUs.
Our Latest Podcast:
Frontotemporal Degeneration: Understanding the Disease
While the most common form of dementia among all age groups is Alzheimer’s disease, Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD) is most common in those diagnosed before age 60 and can occur as early as age 21 and as late as age 80. FTD differs from other types of dementia in that memory loss is not a hallmark symptom. A group of related, heterogeneous disorders, initial symptoms bring progressive changes to personality, behavior, decision-making, communication or movement.
In this podcast, the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration will present signs and symptoms of FTD, emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and person-centered care, and highlight research opportunities as well as support resources for those living with FTD and their care partners.
