Navigating a Dementia Diagnosis

Thank you for attending out event where we hosted Navigating a Dementia Diagnosis, presented by Brookdale gerontologist Jill Ladaa.

In case you didn’t make it or want a refresher, here’s a quick recap of what we covered:

1. Understanding Dementia
   • The difference between normal aging and signs that require medical evaluation
   • Early warning signs such as memory loss, behavior changes, or trouble managing daily life
2. Navigating After Diagnosis
   • Coping strategies for families and individuals
   • Overcoming stigma while preserving dignity and connection
   • Recognizing caregiver stress and building resilience
3. Accessing Support & Planning Ahead
   • Building a daily support network (family, friends, groups, professionals)
   • Legal and financial planning (power of attorney, advance directives, estate planning)
   • Knowing when memory care support may be needed
