Hello everyone,
The UCLA Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care Program has developed a set videos addressing common behavioral challenges for caregivers. The brief videos first show a “typical” approach by a caregiver, followed by some discussion by an expert, and then show the “preferred approach” using the same scenario and a few more tips. The videos are free to use and can be accessed at the following link:

Here is the list of the behaviors that are covered under the caregiver training videos:
· Aggressive Language/Behavior
· Agitation and Anxiety
· Depression/Apathy
· Hallucinations
· Home Safety
· Refusal to Bathe
· Refusal to Take Medications
· Repetitive Behaviors
· Repetitive Phone Calls
· Repetitive Questions
· Sexually Inappropriate Behaviors
· Sleep Disturbances
· Sundowning
· Wandering
Have a great week!
