Dementia Caregiver Support
Boomers are turning 80. As we hit that milestone, our risk of chronic illness, and especially dementia, increases to more than 40%.
These days, it’s hard to find a physician to address the needs of elders, let alone a geriatrician, seasoned care manager or geriatric nurse specialist. We all have all three!
Welcome to DLG Community.
Community is a place for families, caregivers and eldercare professionals to address the needs and challenges they see in their daily lives.
We provide a moderated conversation space for families and caregivers, and another for eldercare professionals to address topics that don’t get discussed often.
“Mom is still in pain, and she was given Naprosyn after her hip fracture. She’s irritable and gets Ativan, so she’s always sleepy.
Can’t we help her?”
We provide two online support groups per month, run by seasoned care manager, nurses, and geriatricians.
We also provide a monthly Q+A session, Ask Dr Liz: A Geriatrician Can Help, to have a geriatrician address the challenges that don’t seem to get resolved.
There are solutions. We’ve seen it all.
“Dad hasn’t been acting normally since his medications were changed.
Is that a medication reaction?”
