Talking FTD: Making Hard Decisions on Care

37m · Caring Conversations · 27 Feb 19:00

Sharon Hall will be joined by Rebekah Wilson, MSW, https://www.agingcarecoach.com/ to discuss the hard decisions we need to make in the care of those with Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). When do I take away the car keys? When do I consider placement? How do I decide on when to call hospice? How do I brace myself for end of life decisions like when to no longer give antibiotics? These are the questions that haunt us as care partners to those with FTD. We hope this podcast will give you some guidance and support in making those hard decisions. The emotions can be overwhelming and we second guess ourselves. This podcast will put those doubts in perspective. Join our FTD Care Chat every Monday and Saturday at 7:00pm ET on caregiving.com to talk to other care partners. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/caring-conversations/message
