  • GWEP Brain Health ECHO | When Dementia Doesn’t Travel Alone: The Impact of Comorbidities in Dementia Care

In this presentation, we’ll explore the four most common comorbidities seen in individuals living with dementia and the potential impact on quality of life, health outcomes, and caregiver burden. Strategies and resources to improve management of comorbidities in dementia care, while decreasing caregiver burden will be discussed.
