WEBINAR SERIES  CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19):
TIPS FOR DEMENTIA CAREGIVERS

The Maryland Department of Human Services, along with community partners such as the Alzheimer’s Association and Johns Hopkins University, are hosting a webinar series to communicate about dementia caregiving during this unprecedented time.

Dementia-related behaviors, increased age, and common health conditions that often accompany dementia may increase risk of COVID-19. For example, people with Alzheimer’s disease and all other dementia may forget to wash their hands or take other recommended precautions to prevent illness. In addition, diseases like COVID-19 and the flu may worsen cognitive impairment due to dementia. Join for this webinar series to learn about caregiving strategies to help better manage care for those in need.
