Who Am I? Preserving Identity Through the Dementia Journey

Neal H. Patel

This course examines how memory, dementia, caregiving, and aging shape a person’s identity and daily life. Participants will review how memories are formed, distinguish normal age-related changes from warning signs of dementia, and explore Alzheimer’s disease and other common causes of dementia. The course also addresses diagnosis, stages, treatment approaches, caregiver preparation, safety, communication, routines, behavioral expressions, caregiver burnout, aging trends, and available community resources. Throughout the course, participants are encouraged to recognize the person beyond the diagnosis and support dignity, autonomy, and quality of life.

At the completion of the course, participants will be able to:

  1. Explain the basic role of neurons, neurotransmitters, and the hippocampus in memory formation.
  2. Differentiate normal age-related memory changes from common warning signs of dementia.
  3. Describe treatment and supportive-care approaches used across the stages of Alzheimer’s disease.
