Conversations with family members about dementia can be challenging and uncomfortable. The fear or lack of awareness that may accompany these conversations can result in delays that have serious consequences for the entire family. Common difficult discussions include going to the doctor, when to stop driving, and making legal and financial plans. To help you prepare for these conversations, Penn State Extension partnered with the Alzheimer’s Association® to provide: Dementia Conversations: Driving, Doctor Visits, Legal and Financial Planning. This program will help you talk with your entire family, including the person with signs of dementia, about difficult topics related to Alzheimer’s and dementia.
