Abstract:
This workshop and case study analysis is a dynamic and highly interactive session examining the factors increasing the risk of litigation in congregate settings when caring for (potentially) aggressive residents with Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). A review of the pathophysiology, subtypes, diagnosis, causes, risks, treatment and outcome of this disease will serve as backdrop for case study analysis. The process of understanding the triggers exposing owner/operators and clinicians, when staffing/education, setting and service do not align in the care of residents with FTD, serve as the transition to case study analysis. Last, practical solutions for individual, departmental and facility exposure are provided as tools for those serving the elderly and their responsible parties.
