Senior Star Hosts Leading Ohio Neurologist to Discuss Lewy Body Dementia
Dr. Donald Freidenberg to Deliver Powerful and Informative Public Presentation Dublin Assisted Living & Memory Support by Senior Star will host a free public presentation on Lewy Body Dementia (LBD). Led by well-known and respected Ohio neurologist and Senior Star neurology consultant, Dr. Donald Freidenberg, the presentation will focus on the science of LBD as well as the emotional side of the disease. Dr. Freidenberg brings a wealth of knowledge on this subject to Ohioans as he specializes in dementia, movement disorders, neurobehavior disorders and neuropsychiatric disorders. According to the Alzheimer’s Association website, LBD is a type of progressive dementia that leads to a decline in thinking, reasoning and independent function. The site also notes most experts estimate that LBD is the third most common cause of dementia after Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia, accounting for 10 to 25 percent of cases. As leading professionals in caring for those with Alzheimer’s, Senior Star associates go through an intense quarterly training and additional instruction as needed to understand the specific needs of those with LBD and how they differ from those who have Alzheimer’s. Senior Star also benefits from the important partnership of Dr. Freidenberg who works with their team on a monthly basis to help with new resident assessment as well as continued follow up for all residents. In addition, Senior Star associates will be on hand to discuss and share examples of how they are providing care for residents who are experiencing the symptoms of Alzheimer’s or LBD. Through education and understanding, Senior Star is able to meet the personalized needs of those with LBD while also assisting the entire family through the disease process. Please RSVP by February 24 at 614.389.3311
