Lectures with Road Scholar: Age Well: A Dementia Primer - Causes, Diagnosis & Trajectory

Dementia is an umbrella term for a group of conditions that affect thinking, memory, mood and behavior, most often caused by Alzheimer’s disease. Join author and psychologist Beverly Thorn, Ph.D., for an overview of what dementia is, how it is diagnosed and how it typically progresses. Explore how clarifying life values and making advance care plans can ease the burden on patients and loved ones while supporting dignity and peace of mind. In this session, you will learn practical strategies for understanding dementia, navigating its diagnosis and progression and planning care that supports those affected. A viewing of the online lecture will be held in the Event Center at Abbot Public Library, followed by a discussion session. Registration is required and limited to 35. Please register below. Can't attend in person? Please register for the program or join the Wait List. Everyone who is registered will be sent the recording. This lecture is part of the "Age Well" series, designed to provide valuable insights, expert guidance, and practical tools for navigating the aging journey with confidence. These programs explore key topics related to aging, from health and wellness to planning for the future, offering meaningful perspectives and resources for older adults and caregivers alike. Beverly E. Thorn, Ph.D., is the author of hundreds of articles, two books, and four workbooks on coping with chronic illness. She spent decades as a faculty member at The Ohio State University and The University of Alabama, where she went on to serve as director of the clinical psychology Ph.D. program and department chair in psychology. Currently a Professor Emerita, she is also an end-of-life doula and continues to publish, speak and conduct workshops nationally and internationally on managing chronic illness.
