Aging in Place: Cognitive Changes in Aging and Strategies for Success

Course overview

Not every slip of the memory is dementia, of course, but cognition does change as we age, sometimes, but not always, impacting the safety and feasibility of aging in place. It can be difficult to identify those cognitive changes that will have real-world functional consequences and those that won't. This course will provide participants with an examination of cognitive changes that might occur in their aging clients. Strategies for compensation and successful aging in place will be provided to allow clinicians to have a meaningful impact on their client' ability to age in place safely and with good quality of life.
