[AlzTalks-Archive] Coping with COVID-19 and Dementia - Drs. Dale Atkins & Barry Jacobs
Description
While caring for someone with Alzheimer’s is challenging at any time, the COVID-19 pandemic and stay-at-home orders may make those challenges exponentially greater.
In this Alzheimer’s Talks, we share findings from two recent survey of our A-LIST community, made up of Alzheimer’s caregivers and those at increased Alzheimer’s risk. We asked how they are coping during the COVID-19 pandemic and about their stress levels and concerns during this time.
Our host Meryl Comer talks with two mental health experts about the findings. They shared coping suggestions for those with a loved one with Alzheimer's at home or in a nursing facility in this very difficult time. Joining Meryl is Dr. Dale Atkins, an author, psychologist and regular guest on NBC's Today Show. Also joining us is Dr. Barry Jacobs, an author, clinical psychologist and healthcare consultant who writes a caregiving blog for AARP.
This Alzheimer’s Talk is generously supported by the Eisai USA Foundation.
