“Is it Dementia” … Free Information Session to Help Family Caregivers Better Understand Behavioural Changes in Older Adults
2025-05-09
On Wednesday, May 28 at 6:00 pm, Cornwall Community
Hospital is hosting another in its series of caregiver information sessions for
families dealing with mental health, substance use health and addiction
issues.
Co-hosted by the hospital's Geriatric Mental Health
Services team and the Alzheimer Society Cornwall and District, this
in-person panel presentation will focus on the "three Ds" of
potential change in older adults: Delirium, Dementia, and Depression.
All three can exhibit similar symptoms — such as
confusion, memory issues, or personality changes — but they are very different
conditions with distinct causes, treatments, and caregiver resources.
Opportunities for questions will follow the presentations.
SPACE IS LIMITED, ADVANCE REGISTRATION REQUIRED. Email
or call Erica at: erica.charlebois@cornwallhospital.ca
or 613-361-6363 ext. 8728. The session will be taking place at the hospital’s
Community Addiction and Mental Health Centre, located at 850 McConnell Avenue.
