The Alzheimer’s Encyclopedia presents the extraordinary opportunity to observe the progression of Alzheimer’s disease and the associated cognitive and behavioral symptoms through clinical footage of twenty-two patients. Combined with assessment and quality of life treatment commentary by Dr. Peter V. Rabins, this series provides the foundation for understanding Alzheimer’s disease and is essential viewing for all students and health care providers working with dementia patients.

In this DVD, the viewer will see seven patients engaged in conversations. Symptoms documented include memory and orientation impairment and some language difficulties. Although the patients may initially appear just to be forgetful, when asked to respond to specific questions about where they are currently living or to relay specific information, it is readily apparent that they exhibit memory impairment associated with Stage 1 of Alzheimer’s disease. Some laugh off their forgetfulness while others seem confused or even surprised. Commentary by Dr. Rabins addresses both assessment and treatment planning.

Topics: assessment, memory loss, disorientation
Audience: students in health professional programs, allied health, social work and medicine. Staff development in long-term care, assisted living and adult day care programs. Alzheimer’s support groups.

This program is part of "The Alzheimer's Encyclopedia" series.
