Learn how to define dementia, distinguish the different types, and gain an understanding of the typical path of disease progression.

This program is offered as a part of the Fairfax Caregiver Seminar Consortium, which offers webinars designed to help family caregivers of older adults or adults with a disability manage their day-to-day issues. Speakers include experts in law, care management, finances and community resources. Webinars are usually recorded, so if you are unable to join us live, please register and a recording will be sent to you if available.
